A recent press release states, “MemSQL, the no-limits database for modern applications and analytical systems, today made generally available a significant new version of its product. MemSQL 6.5 cements the company’s position as the world’s fastest SQL database by advancing performance and adding capabilities to accelerate time to insight and simplify operations. With MemSQL, customers get a single database that can easily support real-time decision making and insight-driven customer experiences combining massively-scalable ingest, the ability to scan billions of rows per second across thousands of users, and a familiar relational structure for user- and developer-friendly access.”

The release goes on, “The world’s leading companies are more competitive because they use data better than their peers and competitors. But to extract value from data it must be collected, analyzed, and accurately acted upon. MemSQL 6.5 delivers an integrated database for data capture, management, and operations that integrates seamlessly with existing systems, infrastructure, and employee skills. This allows customers to get faster time to value and reduces cost and complexity. ‘To extract optimal insights from data, modern applications will require an integrated database that handles both transactions and analytics,’ said Matt Aslett, Research Director, 451 Research. ‘As data growth and usage increases, so does the need for a more scalable database architecture. These new capabilities haven’t been possible with legacy databases’.”
