Company Background
Akiban’s data-grouping technology is a new approach for relational systems to deal with the complexity of scaled-out database schemas. It enables pre-computing of joins, which reduces and in many cases eliminates the high costs of these operations. That leads to transformational advances in performance and scalability, especially for complex operational queries. Akiban’s solutions can be deployed without the disruption and risk of a full database replacement. The solutions use only industry standard protocols and access mechanisms – including SQL – and therefore require only minimal changes to existing database applications. Akiban has its headquarters in Boston MA, and is funded by Foundation Capital and North Bridge Venture Partners.
