MemSQL Establishes a New Baseline for Database Speed

SAN FRANCISCO, March 8, 2018 — MemSQL, a database for real-time applications, has announced at the Strata Data Conference that it can scan over a trillion rows per second using standard hardware, making it one of the fastest databases on the market.

According to 451 Research, the combined data platforms and analytics market will be worth more than $146 billion by 20221. In order to harness the most business value from the data behind this growth, companies need a way to capture and analyze every bit they collect. To maximize data value, companies building intelligent applications need a database capable of handling transactions and analytics in slivers of a second.

“Today, scanning a trillion rows per second is most relevant for larger data sets,” said Nikita Shamgunov, CEO and co-founder of MemSQL. “However, the industry is evolving rapidly, and we’ve built a database to support the applications that will make the biggest impact on your business. If your database is the bottleneck for your workloads, then you need MemSQL.”

Achievements of this magnitude push the technology industry forward, and it takes collaboration with industry partners. MemSQL leveraged the new Intel Xeon Platinum 8180 processors – part of the Intel Xeon Scalable platform – to scan 115.6 billion rows of synthetically-generated trade data in an average response time of 0.0991 seconds. That equates to a scan rate of 1.1 trillion rows per second*.

“Intel is proud of our collaboration with software partners, such as MemSQL, to drive breakthrough innovations,” said Jennifer Huffstetler, Vice President and General Manager of Datacenter Product Marketing, Intel Corporation. “The database speed MemSQL accomplished using deep software optimizations for the Intel Xeon Scalable platform will help customers capture more real-time actionable insights from their data.”
