The company also claimed Orange saved $6,000,000 by using SQream's database solution, when presenting at the 2014 GPU Technologies Conference. SQream DB is aimed at the budget multi-terabyte analytics market, due to its smaller footprint, more modest hardware requirements and extensive use of compression.
SQream DB is also the basis for a solution named GenomeStack, which makes extensive use of SQream DB's capabilities for querying many DNA sequences simultaneously.
Patents
