Akiban is revolutionizing the relational database landscape with its unique table-grouping technology, designed to eliminate the impedance mismatch found in traditional systems. The company's flagship product, Akiban Server, is an open-source database tailored for operational systems, combining the speed, scalability, and agility of document stores with the ACID guarantees and rich SQL capabilities of a traditional RDMS. This architecture allows SQL queries to perform 10-100x faster than their in-memory equivalents, making it a powerful tool for data-intensive applications.
Akiban also offers Akiban Persistit, a fast, transactional Java B+Tree library that serves as the storage layer for Akiban Server. Persistit provides highly optimized key-value operations with full ACID semantics, ensuring data integrity and performance.
Additionally, Akiban SQL Parser is an open-source, production-quality parser for SQL. It is built as a modular code base that supports both standard SQL and Akiban-specific extensions, such as nested queries, to better align with application needs.
Akiban primarily serves businesses that require high-performance, scalable, and reliable database solutions. Its products are particularly suited for industries with complex data models and high transaction volumes, such as finance, e-commerce, and telecommunications. The company's business model revolves around offering open-source software, with potential revenue streams from enterprise support, consulting services, and custom development.
