XtremeData, a provider of data analytics and computing offerings, has launched the dbX 100 Series of desk-side analytical data warehouse appliances, which leverage the Cray CX1 desk-side supercomputer and are designed for the unconstrained analysis and exploration of large data sets.
The company said that the dbX 100 Series is a fully-integrated appliance incorporating all the components of an analysis system, storage, computing, interconnect network and database engine.
All methodology, processes, and analytic queries developed on the dbX 100 Series will automatically scale to the larger dbX 1000 Series system to accommodate petabytes of data, XtremeData said.
According to XtremeData, the dbX 100 Series features include, 110v/20A office power with no data centre cooling requirements; suitable for a departmental workgroup or a single power-user; unrestricted ad hoc access to data; and load balancing at run-time.

This brings our high performance analysis capabilities to a whole new category of users by offering immediate deployment at a highly affordable price and operational cost.”
