kdb+: The world’s most powerful number cruncher.

Kdb+ is the world’s leading market data solution for large financial institutions. It supports analysis and monitoring of both real-time and historical data on a single platform. This means not only the analysis of billions of real-time ticks, but also fast access to terabytes of historical data through the product’s expressive query language, q.

Kdb+ runs on all industry standard 64-bit server platforms, has a small footprint which makes for simple and straightforward installation, incorporates a simple API for easy connectivity to external systems and modules, and allows virtually unlimited room to grow.

What’s more, the coherence and simplicity of the current kdb+ ecosystem means that kdb+ programmers are able to be more efficient than developers in other, more traditional languages, contributing to a lower cost of system ownership.
