Greenplum Database is a massively parallel processing (MPP) database server based on PostgreSQL open-source technology. MPP (also known as a shared nothing architecture) refers to systems with two or more processors which cooperate to carry out an operation - each processor with its own memory, operating system and disks. Greenplum leverages this high-performance system architecture to distribute the load of multi-terabyte data warehouses, and is able to use all of a system’s resources in parallel to process a query.
