Kx is a suite of enterprise-level products centered around kdb+, the world’s fastest time series database. Kdb+ is optimized for ingesting, analyzing, and storing massive amounts of structured data. The combination of the columnar design of kdb+ and its in-memory capabilities means it offers greater speed and efficiency than typical relational databases
Learn MoreWidely deployed in the data science community, tools such as Analyst for Kx take much of the effort out of visualization, normalization, cleaning and data wrangling. Widely used native statistical libraries sit alongside the tightly coupled tools such as TensorFlow, Theano and Keras. Even your favorite Python libraries can be called directly from kdb+ code.
Learn MoreThe IoT has reached tremendous levels of interest in today’s highly-competitive business landscape – and there is good reason for the hype. Organizations are presented with huge opportunities with data collected by Internet-connected sensors.
Learn MoreOrganizations must respond to near-real-time business intelligence based on streams of data. This ability will have an increasing role in smart electrical grids, transportation operations management, national intelligence applications, and some kinds of sophisticated fraud detection, cross-selling and location services.
Learn MoreOperational intelligence helps companies make improved and faster decisions based on what is occurring now, what has occurred in the past, and what is predicted to take place in the future. Our solutions provide situational awareness by blending, processing and analyzing real-time and historical information to deliver operational intelligence and actionable insights.
Learn MoreWith kdb+ the powerful combination of an in-memory database, a time-series enhanced superset of SQL, tight integration to external systems, and a fully featured programming language embedded directly on the data allows Kx to deliver in a uniquely cost-effective and performant fashion.
Learn MoreKx has been selected by Aston Martin Red Bull Racing (AMRBR) as a team supplier for the use of its Kx technology to analyse sensor data from its Formula 1 vehicles.
Brian Jones, Head of Software Development, AMRBR, stated: “Kx brings us a technology, with a comprehensive modern software stack and a reliability that the business demands. Underpinning this, is a proven track record in the finance industry processing time-series data. The foundation is our growing technical partnership with Kx, where we share innovation, improve software and deliver tangible results to our users. As we learn with Kx, we are finding more and more opportunities through the business, and we are really excited as to what Kx can bring. ”
Brian Conlon, Chief Executive Officer of Kx, commented: “We at Kx are delighted to work with Aston Martin Red Bull Racing. Both companies are associated with power, speed, precision engineering and innovation. Over the years F1 has proven itself as an ideal testing ground for disruptive technologies and we look forward to bringing the power of Kx to bear in high-value complementary markets.”
Built on a unique computer programming paradigm, Kx's kdb+ database and its associated programming language, q, use a single architecture to access billions and trillions of structured data records, resulting in blazingly fast processing times — many times faster than those of competitive technologies.
Kx customers are market leaders in their fields — from top investment banks and hedge funds to premier energy companies, pharmaceutical firms, and scientific research institutions. Our powerful software allows these companies to tackle the most complex and data-intensive applications.
Kx's elegant architecture, minimal storage requirements, and ultra efficient utilization of hardware combine to deliver a lower TCO. It has been specifically designed to allow the database to scale out easily as data volumes grow – without losing performance.
