There is a new architectural approach to accelerating storage-intensive databases and applications which take advantage of new techniques that dramatically accelerate database performance, improve response times and reduce infrastructure cost at massive scale. This new architecture efficiently stores fundamental data structures increasing space savings—up to 80%—over host- and software-based techniques that cannot address inherent inefficiencies in today’s fastest SSD technology. With novel data structures and algorithms it is a unique data processing approach to fundamentally simplify the storage stack.
