Moving data over the network is the biggest performance bottleneck in a distributed system. Kinetica addresses this using its data distribution features and an integrated analytics suite that allows you to run complex analysis within the database.
Hard disks are 100,000 times slower than memory. Kinetica’s memory first architecture prioritizes the use of system memory to avoid this bottleneck. But memory is expensive and storing everything in it can quickly become cost prohibitive. Kinetica addresses this using a native columnar data format and tiered storage.
Vectorization delivers phenomenal performance boosts in computing. Kinetica is built to leverage it on modern computing hardware.
