We solve the tough problem of ad hoc analysis and remove the complications of deploying an analytics system.

illuminate's correlation database is a radical new departure in how enterprise data warehouses, data marts and analytics applications are built, deployed, and accessed. There is no need for upfront user requirements definition. There is no need for database pre-design. Nor is redesign needed when new data sources are added. But most important, correlation database technology gives users complete flexibility when it comes to ad hoc analysis and data mining for gaining business intelligence.

To build a correlation enterprise data warehouse or data mart, the data itself automatically creates a data-driven schema based on correlations in the data source during the loading process. It's genuine automated database design and best practices. At the same time it's building the schema, every single data value is indexed and stored only once. Need to add new data? Go ahead. The data takes care of itself—no re-architecting, no reloading, no recalculating. Nothing like what relational and column oriented databases or data warehouse appliances require.

Is this magic? Absolutely not. This is solid engineering driven by the idea that there must be a better way to do ad hoc analysis than trying to make evolved versions of RDBMS/SQL systems faster, better, cheaper by using data warehouse appliances or in-memory, OLAP cubes and column oriented database structures. We opened our minds to completely new ideas of how to store data in a way that would make database design obsolete for analytics systems and give users 100% flexibility for ad hoc analysis. Thus, we've ended the frustration of the back-and-forth IT query projects that plague all other analytic system technologies.

The result is a stunning new database engine that's ideal for building enterprise data warehouses, data marts and analytics applications that solve the business intelligence needs of users—getting the information they want, when they need it, and in the way they think about discovery. True ad hoc analysis and data mining that achieves fast time-to-answer, not just the fast time-to-results other vendors trumpet.

The correlation database (CDBMS) value-based storage model gives analytic systems super-fast performance with unlimited analytical flexibility. It also keeps every single data correlation from data sources; nothing is omitted. A way to think about is that it's almost like an n-dimensional Excel spreadsheet with unlimited storage.

We know it's hard to believe. But already more than 40 of the world's largest—and smallest—organizations are using correlation data warehouses and data marts to build analytics systems that simply go beyond what reasonably can be done with any other option. Either those take too long, cost too much or just can't do what users need.

We don't expect you to believe this without seeing it demonstrated—with your data. We encourage you to do a FREE Proof of Concept (POC). It's the only way.
