Quasar Features

Patented Architecture

NexQL's unique approach to parallelized query processing allows Quasar to offer breakthrough price/performance. Queries can be accelerated by a factor of ten or more while maintaining existing budgets.

Quasar’s revolutionary approach to data access acceleration reduces the overall cost of ownership of commercial database solutions by maximizing the existing database applications and infrastructure.

Quasar is an accelerated database indexing solution that grows along with the size, scale and scope of the database system. The Quasar solution is a cost effective solution for extremely fast indexing of very large database systems while also supporting growing data requirements.

Quasar offers an accelerated indexing solution that meets the following requirements:

Database Agnostic: Seamless integration with Oracle and most other commercial databases. Uses standard interfaces with no customization.
Application Transparency: The application requires little or no change to use the accelerated indexing solution.
Highly Scalable: Quasar is designed to be a cost effective scalable solution.
High Request Rate and Low Response Time: Delivers both high ingest and query rate with immediate access of data while maintaining high performance, even as the size of the database grows.
