Otta's take
Xav Kearney
CTO of Otta
Organisations today are swimming in data, and often find difficulties with data management. SingleStore provides a converged data platform for transactions and analytics, which organisations can use to process and analyse their most important time-critical application workloads spanning transactions, analytics and AI.
The company can ingest and transform millions of events per day while also analysing billions of rows of data using standard SQL, while its users can query the records in real time. The hybrid architecture and speed of their technology is what differentiates them from competitors such as Oracle and SAP.
Rebranded from MemSQL to SingleStore, the new vision for the company is the ability to access data anywhere, even beyond the SingleStore platform, through global federated access that provides greater flexibility and further simplifies cloud data management for organisations. Recent series F funding will be used to fund geographic expansion as SingleStore eyes a broader swath of customers across Europe and Asia.
