Value proposition
One platform for search, analytics, vector, graph and spatial queries, so enterprises don't have to stitch together separate databases. It is built for the volume and complexity of queries that AI agents generate.
Products and solutions
Edelbyte unified data platform: search, analytics, vector, graph and spatial processing, a built-in knowledge base and controlled data access for AI agents. Connectors include Apache Iceberg, Parquet, S3, Kafka, PostgreSQL and MySQL, integrations include Claude, Codex, Grafana, Tableau and Jupyter. Deployable on public cloud, sovereign cloud, self-hosted or on-prem, with usage-based pricing.
Unique value
Indexes all data so ad hoc queries run without pre-defined access patterns. It claims millisecond queries over petabyte-scale data, query federation, and a single engine from hot cache to long-term object storage.
Target customer
Enterprises with petabyte-scale data workloads. Current customers include Fortune 500 companies in information security, automotive manufacturing and financial services.
Industries served
Information security, automotive manufacturing, financial services, observability, real-time applications
Technology advantage
The founding team built Kusto / Azure Data Explorer at Microsoft. Differentiators are heavy data compression, comprehensive automated indexing, query federation that runs queries where the data lives, and flexible deployment. Security: SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001.
How they differentiate
Positions as a single AI-native engine covering search, analytics, vector and graph workloads, versus separate specialized systems. Claims lower cost and millisecond latency at petabyte scale, with deployment on cloud, sovereign or on-prem environments.
