Kinetica

Kinetica is the creator of a real-time analytical database designed for complex time-series and spatial workloads. The database uses native vectorization, where data is stored in fixed-size blocks called vectors, and query operations are performed on these vectors in parallel, enabling faster query execution and improved performance. Independent benchmarks showed that Kinetica is 5X faster than Google BigQuery and 12X faster than ClickHouse. The platform supports multiple genres of analytics across graph, time-series, and spatial data, allowing organizations to analyze sensor and machine data in real-time. In September 2023, Kinetica integrated native Large Language Model capabilities to enable natural language data analysis on real-time structured data within customers' environments. The database connects to various business intelligence tools like Tableau, Spotfire, PowerBI, ESRI, DBeaver, and Grafana through Postgres Wireline compatibility or ODBC/JDBC connectors. The company saw significant growth in 2023, achieving 90% Annual Recurring Revenue growth and a Net Dollar Retention Rate of 163%.
