title: Terabyte scale database in Greenplum
body: <p>I am currently using <a href="https://greenplum.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">greenplum</a> for little scale of data like 1GB to test it. </p>
  
  <p>As greenplum is said to be "petabytes-scale", I was wondering if having a volume of data like one or ten terabytes is worth going into this MPP processing instead of a normal PostgreSQL database. 
  All my network interfaces have 10 Mb/s for slaves and master.</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://gpdb.docs.pivotal.io/6-4/best_practices/summary.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Best practices</a> don't include these considerations. The problem is that having maybe a "little database" will have poor result due to network processing.
  Did you already implement a database with this scale?</p>
