Partners
in performance

The real value of data is derived from the ability to sustainably capture, store and analyze data to drive new business insights and opportunities.

KX is looking to partner with companies who are working to create growth initiatives that involve data-driven solutions.
Significantly improve the performance, scalability and time to market of your solution with our uniquely integrated platform. 

The KX platform is cloud-ready.

We have established both a technical and services partnership with Azure to assist clients and are enabling them to execute a “lift and shift” of their KX deployment to the cloud.

The availability of KX on the AWS Marketplace enables organizations to streamline time to market, scale as required, and concentrate on business results.

It enables customers to either sign up online with their AWS Marketplace credentials, or bring their own licenses and deploy directly on the AWS Marketplace. They can also benefit from the new kdb+ on demand licensing model directly from their AWS Marketplace account, and can use kdb+ on the AWS Marketplace for future container-based deployment.

Through Google Cloud Launcher, KX brings the increased efficiencies and scalability of the kdb+ database system to Google Cloud Platform, simplifying procurement processes and allowing customers to focus on building a successful business. KX was previously awarded Google Cloud Global Technology Partner of the Year for Financial Services.

Anaconda is the most popular Python data science platform provider with 2.5 million downloads per month and over six million users.

This partnership is an outgrowth of the expansion of kdb+ into machine learning applications. Through the Anaconda distribution platform, kdb+ becomes part of the Anaconda Python ecosystem, making it easier for Python developers building ML/AI applications to use kdb+.

Currently there are three packages available for installation on the Anaconda distribution platform, kdb, embedpy and jupyterq, which can be found at https://anaconda.org/kx.

Airbus is an international pioneer and leader in designing, manufacturing and delivering aerospace products, services and solutions to customers on a global scale.

Airbus Defence and Space will work with KX to develop an innovative approach for large scale processing of geospatial data using the KX analytics platform. It is anticipated that KX and Airbus Defence and Space will collaborate with large corporates, research bodies and start-ups to help exploit this ground-breaking technology in markets such as energy, rail/civil engineering, natural resources, maritime surveillance, agriculture, finance and facilities management.

BISTel is a leading supplier of adaptive intelligence (AI) applications that combine embedded human knowledge and advanced engineering automation solutions to help factories to better detect, analyse, predict, and prescribe solutions to complex manufacturing problems in real-time.

KX partners with Databricks making it possible to cover all the use cases for high-speed time-series data analytics.

This joint solution integrates both platforms for both streaming and batch time-series data and provides significant benefits to companies that deal with mission-critical data. We combine the low-latency streaming capabilities of KX’s kdb+ and q language with the scalable data and AI platform that Databricks provides. Institutions can unlock and accelerate innovation by taking advantage of the time-series data in the cloud rather than having it locked and siloed in on-premise instances.

DataRobot is the leader in enterprise AI and the category creator and leader in automated machine learning. 

Organizations worldwide use DataRobot to empower the teams they already have in place to rapidly build and deploy machine learning models and create advanced AI applications. The integration of KX technology and its streaming analytics platform and DataRobot’s Automated Time Series solution leverages the speed and scale of kdb+ to automatically create, deploy, manage, and monitor time-aware machine learning models.

KX and Intel have been collaborating on benchmarking for over a decade. After the STAC-M3 benchmark was developed, together Intel and KX steadily improved their benchmarking results year-over-year using a wide variety of equipment.

By running the same STAC-audited standard industry tests for over seven years, these results now provide a valuable look-back for the streaming analytics community to see comparable results on evolving hardware and software.

For example, on one of the tests, which calculates a market snapshot using large historical datasets going back multiple years in multi-terabyte datasets, the latency has decreased by 98% since 2011. This is due to a combination of improvements in kdb+’s performance coupled with innovations in server and storage technology.

The most recent Intel benchmarks featured the latest Optane DC SSDs, which have a completely new way of approaching data storage and access. They make a new memory/storage tier available for handling hot working data that brings the data much closer to the processor to analyze it more quickly and efficiently.

Intel’s Optane Persistent Memory enables on-disk databases to run faster and in-memory databases to scale. In this release Kx extends its support for Intel’s Optane DC persistent memory using App Direct Memory mode, giving you greater control over the DRAM/Optane allocation of data. KX ultra high-speed performance – the fastest just got faster.

Keysight Technologies is a trusted electrical and electronic global manufacturer with more than 80 years of a rich history of innovation and over 1700 patents globally, customers in more than 100 countries around the globe.

With demand for manufacturing excellence, Keysight partnered with KX to accelerate ROI in smart factory digital transformation. KX provides the underlying platform that enables aggregation of extremely large data sets, with low-latency that enable faster insights in a broader variety of industrial analytic opportunities.

KX and Solace have long provided complementary capabilities for processing big data.

KX enables organizations to ingest, analyze, and store massive amounts of both real-time and historical data using kdb+, while Solace, through its PubSub+ message brokers, enables organizations to efficiently distribute streaming information across myriad protocols, devices and networks. Their mutual benefits have been brought together even more closely in a recent collaboration to develop a PubSub+ API for kdb+ that makes it easier for customers to combine the technologies.

KX has been selected to provide advanced analytics capabilities within Survalent Technology’s flagship Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) platform, SurvalentONE. Under the agreement, KX will be installed on an OEM basis within SurvalentONE and those utilities that leverage its features will be able to analyse network behaviour in real-time and in greater detail for improved system reliability.

CGI is amongst the largest IT and business consulting services firms in the world delivering end-to-end services and solutions, including strategic IT and business consulting, system integration, intellectual property, and managed IT and business process services.

KX has been selected, alongside its partner CGI, to deliver a next-generation electricity information exchange for a European transmission system operator.

“With KX we’re ready to challenge the market and to move forward and use that real-time data.”
