Kognitio is a mature in-memory SQL engine that truly unlocks the insights of big data. It was specifically built for massively parallel analytical query processing to provide ultra-high-speed analytics. It’s flexible, with three different deployment options to suit your business set-up.
Now you can run hundreds of concurrent SQL queries over your Hadoop data. Suddenly the data in your Hadoop cluster is as easily queryable as your relational database.

Learn about Kognitio client toolsWith Kognitio, you get huge query throughput and high concurrency to serve all your users. Our platform gives you:
A one-server-fits-all design that eliminates the need for workload-specific tuning
The ability to run mixed-workload use cases at the same time
Facility to write code in other languages such as Python and R, and invoke that code from inside your queries within Kognitio
Cross-platform portability to have the same consistent Kognitio interface to your data across Hadoop, MapR, standalone and cloud
Yes, if you deploy Kognitio on Hadoop, it’s completely free to use with no restrictions on time, scale or functionality. We offer Kognitio on Hadoop completely free to use and offer paid support contracts to customers who wish to take out support for production environments.
If you deploy Kognitio on standalone servers or on MapR, it’s free up to 512GB RAM. But should you need more RAM to evaluate Kognitio properly, just get in touch.
No, we have one version of Kognitio which comes with full functionality and various deployment options. However the standalone and MapR versions require a software license for use above 512GB RAM.
Kognitio can be deployed on Hadoop, on MapR, on a standalone compute cluster or in the cloud.
We offer a range of support options for Kognitio, from web only to full enterprise support. For more information visit our support page
There are large variations in the performance, flexibility and maturity of available SQL engines. Hive, Impala and SparkSQL, for example, are new SQL implementations that were developed from scratch for Hadoop. Yet SQL is a very large, complex standard which is difficult enough to implement on a serial platform, but to implement it in parallel is incredibly difficult and time consuming. For 25 years, Kognitio has been developing parallel SQL. So our SQL engine is much more mature and proven to scale-out for the high concurrency required by business users. Kognitio is also a true in-memory engine.
If you intend to use Kognitio on a Hadoop cluster under YARN (not MapR), you should install the “on Hadoop” version. Kognitio on Hadoop runs on Hortonworks Data Platform, Cloudera Data Platform, Amazon EMR, and Azure.
If you intend to use Kognitio on a MapR cluster, you should install the “on MapR” version.
For any other compute clusters, you should download the standalone version.
