Description
Kx offers fast database platforms (32-bit and 64-bit on Linux, Solaris and Windows), as well as applications for capturing, managing and analyzing tick data and NYSE TAQ data. Our technology is known for very fast performance in acquiring, managing and analyzing enormous volumes of data and for eliminating the "analysis gap" between historical and in-memory data. It is also highly interoperable, with easy interfaces to C++ and Java, as well as to legacy relational databases.

In financial institutions, business is conducted in real-time. But all too often, business intelligence data takes overnight to analyze and days to act on. With emerging requirements for real-time enterprise models -- for example, in trade execution, compliance reporting, market strategy back testing, or market and credit risk management -- conventional RDBMS, in-memory databases, and business intelligence analytics systems are showing their age. Since 1993 Kx Systems has enabled leading financial firms to capture, manage and analyze vast amounts of historical and streaming financial data at real-time speeds.
