In this time of rapid change, companies face challenges with current data warehouse implementations, such as performance degradation when running new machine learning workloads and making sense of significantly increasing volumes of data. Meanwhile, the delivery of faster insights and more accurate data for decision-making leads to a competitive advantage. To solve these issues, MemSQL provides a real-time data warehouse that works seamlessly to meet customers’ hybrid, multicloud and high security needs.
“Today, MemSQL has completed its vision to become the first and only real-time data warehouse to run anywhere to fit the needs of any enterprise,” said Eric Frenkiel, co-founder and CEO, MemSQL. “Now customers can choose to use our managed cloud solution, deploy to any public cloud, operate in their own infrastructure, or a combination. The freedom to choose among deployment options allows companies to architect advanced analytics solutions for today and give them the flexibility to adapt for tomorrow.”
Key features of MemSQL
