Winning MicroStrategy Business Partner award

We're incredibly thrilled with the Business Partner award that MicroStrategy awarded Kognitio at their London Symposium event. As you know, we have been working with MicroStrategy and their front-end mobile, cloud and web-based BI applications for some time as a complementary technology to our high performance in-memory analytic database, WX2.

Over the years we have advocated to end-user organizations the benefits of using MicroStrategy on top of Kognitio to accelerate their efforts to understand more about their large and complex data volumes - or Big Data - in shorter timescales and with greater ease.

Big Data Analytics in the Cloud is definitely here to stay and we can think of no better or efficient solution for organizations to tackle their Big Data analytics needs than with Kognitio and MicroStrategy. Thank you again MicroStrategy!

Driving successful BI and analytics projects

The amount of data being created and used in business is growing at a phenomenally fast rate. Whether from inside and outside the enterprise, whether click-streams, transactional data, RFID data, customer data or social behavior information, the challenge for businesses to make sense and derive value from it all can seem daunting.

But it needn't be. For years, Kognitio has been working with global organizations to store, process, integrate and analyze their ever-increasing Big Data volumes. In fact, we're passionate about helping businesses mine, analyze and get demonstrable value from their large data sets that they can then turn into actionable intelligence.

Our high-performance in-memory analytic database platform, Kognitio WX2, helps organizations around the globe to understand more about their business and their customers in shorter timescales and at a price that does not break the bank. From large corporates to smaller businesses, companies of all shapes and sizes run Kognitio WX2 to analyze Big Data sets quickly and efficiently, allowing them to make more informed, better business decisions that help them to drive growth and reduce costs.

As the data explosion continues, organizations count on Kognitio and its in-memory analytic database solution to get comprehensive answers to their questions. Where other solutions cannot cope with overwhelming data volumes and force the user to rely on data samples, Kognitio has helped numerous customers survive the Big Data phenomenon and analyze whatever, whenever and get answers to complex questions in sub-second response times.

Although Kognitio offers its WX2 database as an on-premise solution either as a software-only license or as a fully configured data warehouse appliance, Kognitio also allows companies to get the analytical insight they need for a low-cost monthly fee via the Kognitio DaaS Cloud. The DaaS Cloud offers WX2 as a secure “private cloud” solution providing maximum flexibility for a low cost of entry into data analytics and warehousing.

WX2 complements and drives the analytic stack:
