Kognitio attributed its continued growth to the continued interest in Big Data and Hadoop, especially among mid- and large-sized organizations that face the ever-expanding need to analyze immense amounts of information in less time than before, while accessing it from multiple locations.
"We are executing on our strategy of expanding both with new projects for our established clients, and attracting new accounts," said Steve Millard, Kognitio president and chief executive officer. "At a time when companies are seeking Big Data solutions more than ever, we are successfully pointing to our track record of delivering an advanced in-memory analytical platform that complements their existing information management environment and primes it for growth."
In the quarter just ended, Kognitio:
- Introduced the latest version of the Kognitio Analytical Platform, featuring MPP in-memory code execution and the ability to run industry-standard SQL on top of Hadoop;
