Based on Actian’s advanced technology that is already driving complex analytics use cases including real-time fraud detection, retail store merchandising and drug discovery, the Avalanche data warehouse sets the high-performance bar for what the next generation of data analytics applications can achieve. Deep integration with Looker and other leading BI tools out of the box ensures customers can set up an accelerated BI experience in just minutes.

“Whether a business is moving all of its data to the cloud or looking to adopt a hybrid model between cloud and on-premises locations, the need for this kind of solution has never been more paramount,” said Kevin Price, IT Director at HSS Hire. “Where the idea of ‘future-proof’ solutions was once a nice to have, we are now experiencing a rapidly increasing need for this exact kind of technology in order to solve today’s operational analytics workloads.”
