1010data

1010data was founded in 2000 by pioneers of large-scale data systems on Wall Street. Drawing on that experience and newly available technologies, the company developed a web-based service and the underlying software that makes it easy to acquire, organize, manage, and analyze large volumes of complex, interrelated data.

The data management architecture developed by 1010data differs significantly from other database software; in theory, it is almost infinitely scalable - simply, cheaply, expediently, and reliably. It is architected to handle multi-terabyte databases at a fraction of the cost and with much higher performance than other data management approaches.
