iLuminate sets out to address data warehousing limitations with its iLuminate 4.0 correlation database. Rather than store data in tables, iLuminate 4.0 organizes information in value pools based on data type, with an auto-generated indexing system that keeps track of the values context. This fully indexed, value-based storage approach can yield significant performance benefits, but eWEEK Labs was most impressed by iLuminate's knack for making data available for analysis with very few planning or design requirements.
Every organization creates data in the course of its operations, often in such large quantity and variety that it can be challenging to store it all, let alone make it available for analysis.
Data warehouses offer organizations a means of storing and exposing their data for mining, but setup and maintenance costs, along with the planning and user training tasks required to make data warehouse projects successful, can dissuade companies from deploying these systems.
Enter iLuminate, which sets out to address these data warehousing limitations with iLuminate 4.0. Where most data warehouses are built on relational DBMSes be they row-or-column-oriented iLuminate describes its product as a correlation database.
