Panorama Database Engine

X88 Software - The Data Interrogation Company<br/>X88 Panorama Database Engine - Get your applications into the fast-lane

Accelerate your data applications
Panorama is a completely new kind of intelligent database server that provides ultra-fast interrogation, analysis, manipulation, aggregation and transformation of enterprise-scale data with zero design or administration. Designed to be embedded into 3rd party applications, it forms the core of our X88 Pandora product.

Data can be loaded of any quality, with the correct structure, relationships and content automatically evaluated from the data. Panorama automatically assesses the quality of data and creates navigation structures to allow for ultra-fast querying, filtering, aggregation and transformation of data using simple and familiar SQL statements. Data is never rejected.

Panorama automatically relates all tables and columns together that have common values, discovering relationships across the entire Enterprise based on the actual data content itself, not just semantics.

How Panorama Works

Panorama combines the best aspects of Relational, Column-Oriented and Correlation database technologies to provide astounding performance with a familiar SQL interface. It has built-in market-leading profiling, quality and transformation capabilities.

It runs on everything from a laptop to a multi-core server and turns raw data into business information with simplicity. The value centric storage model employed means that data values are only ever stored once regardless of how many tables or columns a value appears in. As a result, every Row/Column location of every value is automatically indexed.

Panorama instantly identifies Joins being Tables, duplicate data, and much more. The advanced query engine breaks down SQL statements to take advantage of the internal structure and can answer many questions prior to query execution which means no table scans and no manual indexing.

Over 200 transformation, cleansing, manipulation and aggregation functions are provided that are the match of any Data Integration product. They are executed in real-time so there is no need to build an entire result set to see the result of an expression, even for multi-column table lookups. Panorama also provides a customisable self-creating metadata repository and a full business glossary to classify data in business terms. Panorama allows exactly the same query capabilities for the repository and glossary as it does for data.
