Kognitio steps up in-memory analysis

Analytical DBMS: Kognitio Analytical Platform.
In-memory DBMS: Kognitio Analytical Platform.
Hadoop distribution: None.
Stream-processing technology: None.
Hardware/software systems: Kognitio Appliance.

Kognitios massively parallel processing DBMS competes against Actian Matrix (formerly ParAccel), HP Vertica, IBM PureData System for Analytics (formerly Netezza), and Pivotal Greenplum. The vendor has long supported RAM-intensive deployments and provides the administrative ability to run analyses and processes in memory. Customer Tivo Research Analytics deployed Kognitio with a high RAM-to-disk ratio to ensure fast query response times to report on TV ads viewed in 70 million cable-TV-equipped households.

Lately, Kognitio has put an even bigger emphasis on in-memory analysis, and it has developed an integration with the Hortonworks Data Platform that supports in-memory SQL analysis on top of Hadoop. It also offers an appliance and cloud-based services.
