July 19, 2011
Kognitio launched a family of data warehouse appliances that let companies choose a model best suited to their specific data analysis speed and volume needs. The names of the three new appliance varieties—Rapids, Rivers, and Lakes—are metaphors for the variety of performance and capacity choices, the company said. • “Rapids” is Kognitio’s high-performance in-memory database appliance designed for the ultimate in high-speed analytic applications. • “Rivers” is for companies with medium-capacity data applications that require good performance and reasonable cost. • “Lakes” is a low-cost, high-capacity appliance designed for companies with very large data volumes, but which have simple reporting requirements. “We’re taking the mystery and complexity out of choosing a data warehouse appliance,” said Roger Llewellyn, CEO and president, Kognitio. “Customers shouldn’t be constrained by one-size-fits-all products, nor should they have to over-spend for performance or capacity they don’t need. Similarly, if the needs of a customer call for a high performance in-memory analytical platform, they now have access to the right solution.” The Kognitio Rapids, Rivers, and Lakes appliances combine the price/performance of Intel-based processors and other industry-standard hardware with the Kognitia WX2 analytic database in a single cabinet, complete with software, servers, and storage. They are built to scale and analyze terabytes of data quickly and easily. Some customers of WX2 Appliances have provisioned fully functional data warehouses in several hours, the company said. The new Kognitio appliance models meet the needs of big data applications, including data warehousing, online analytical processing, business intelligence, and descriptive/predictive analytics. Powered by WX2, the appliances scale automatically as data volumes continue to grow, either one server at a time or in manageable modules to increase performance and capacity. The Kognitio Rapids, Rivers and Lakes Data Warehouse Appliances are available immediately and pricing starts as low as $11,000 per terabytes.
