Kx software’s programming language q is a functional Language – ideal for working with Big Data as it encourages viewing functions as transformations to data and allows developers to stay focused on solving the problem at hand.

Designed to be able to gracefully handle massive real-time streams of data, the software allows users to easily configure and create event driven architectures and workflows.

Native support for time-series operations vastly improves both the speed and performance of queries, aggregation and analysis of structured data.

The ability to created windowed views of larger datasets is baked into the programming language q. Our powerful window-join functionality enables users to contextualise easily between data tables over entirely customisable windows.

At Kx, our software has been designed from the start to be extremely efficient. Kx software is not only faster, it uses significantly less power compared to queries run on a fixed number of compute instances (as seen in other softwares).

The worlds fastest time series database! Kdb+ is optimized for ingesting, analyzing, and storing massive amounts of structured data. The combination of the columnar database design and in-memory capabilities means Kx software offers greater speed and efficiency than typical relational databases.

Kx software can handle millions of events and measurements per second, gigabytes to petabytes of historical data, all with nanosecond resolution, more efficiently and cost-effectively than any alternative technologies.

We take data seriously! In Kx software tables are a first order datatype, allowing our users to always stay data-driven.

Kx software is no doubt world-leading, but we don’t exist in a vacuum – our dedicated fusion team works tirelessly to provide open integration to and from other technologies.  Bi-directional communication with languages such as Python and R allows you to embed your favorite libraries and apply directly to the data.

Functional programming also encourages creating elegant higher-order functions – leading to a neater, more easily supported code base!

Being data focused, Kx software enables easy and flexible filtration and aggregation of massive amounts of data using qSQL, an SQL-like query syntax. Many of our customers work with petabytes of data!

One software for real-time, streaming and historical data analytics. A user created general purpose function can be applied just as easily to real-time, streaming or historical data since they all use q the programming language at the heart of Kx software.

Much of the performance and efficiency of Kx Software derives from the columnar database structure. This structure means only the data that is required by the user is retrieved from the database in the first place!
