Kdb+

Hologram is the exclusive Australasian partner for Kx Systems (www.kx.com), whose flagship product, Kdb+ is the world’s fastest in-memory database and a market leader in streaming transaction analysis.

It is used, for example, in algorithmic trading, complex event processing and financial markets analysis.

Kdb+ was designed to capture, analyse, compare, and store data – all at high speeds and on high volumes. But more than that, Kdb+ was created specifically to meet the emerging needs of leading-edge, real-time business, and in particular, the financial services industry.

The product outperforms by far all the world’s popular data management software programs and provides companies with a solution to their current and future data management demands and overloads.


How is Kdb+ suited for real-time business
Enormous growth in the amount of data collected by businesses, along with the need for instant analysis of data and real-time comparisons are becoming critically important to gain a competitive edge.

The companies that are first to market with these real-time business applications are the ones who can maintain and expand their lead.

Kdb+ is the solution.

It provides a single architecture for managing and analysing data across the entire data management chain, maintaining exceptional performance throughout. In addition, kdb+ was designed from the outset to use 64-bit memory, which is essential for volumes of streaming data in memory. It was also created for extremely low latency, enabling time-critical applications such as auto-trading and real-time risk management.

Kdb+ takes full advantage of 64-bit platforms, giving you unlimited room to grow.
