SQL standard at In Memory speed
Exasol is a relational database management system that gives you the speed of in-memory technology without sacrificing SQL standards.
Developing technology and cheaper hardware prices have made in-memory technologies more common and more accessible in recent years. Business intelligence tools using in-memory technology promise high-performance reporting and analysis capabilities. Such technologies do not allow you to store data in their own special structures and access them with any other tool than their own. In contrast, Exasol is a relational database using in-memory technology. In other words, with Exasol, you do not confine your data to some 'special' structures. While storing your data with all the advantage of being a relational database, you can run your analytical queries at 'light speed' thanks to Exasol's powerful infrastructure and in-memory technology.
World's Fastest
Exasol is the world's fastest analytical database in all categories up to 100TB in TPC-H scores. You can access the TPC-H performance report here.
Cost
High-performance analytical databases are extremely limited in number and costly. Today, the fact that data analysis is extremely critical increases the level of performance needed in data warehouse type projects, and organizations have to choose from these limited number of databases or sacrifice performance. Worst of all, they cannot bear such high costs and try to increase their reporting performance with private and closed architectures.
Exasol, right here, allows you to create a holistic solution without sacrificing integration and performance needs, at a very affordable cost, unlike solutions currently on the market.
Bottom line, with Exasol you get high performance without sacrificing industry standards.
Management
Exasol is a preconfigured database for analytical needs. Database management and maintenance have been thought through and prepared for you. With Exasol you don't need a new DBA; You do not need to allocate time and resources for issues such as partitioning, tablespace, compression, resource management, data statistics, indexing. Exasol is a new generation relational database designed for your analytical needs, easy to manage and configure.
Intensive Parallel Processing (MPP)
A database designed in Exasol Massively Parallel Processing architecture. Thanks to this architecture, Exasol offers a high-performance and scalable solution for data sizes up to petabytes.
Exasol distributes the data to the servers in the MPP cluster in the “shared nothing” architecture, automatically activates the backup node when any of these servers or disks fails, and your work continues uninterrupted.
As your data grows, you add a new node to the system, Exasol does all the data distribution itself. With standard servers with Intel architecture, you can reach a high-performance MPP cluster at affordable costs.
Analytical Database
Exasol is a database designed for analytical operations. It is column-based, has a high compression ratio, works with a fully parallel processing architecture, and is designed for the best read and bulk write performance.
Thanks to the powerlytics environment it offers, Exasol allows solutions developed in languages such as R, Python, Java, Lua to be run with the UDF method with the high-performance parallel processing power of Exasol.
