Kognitio is a fully-functional, fully parallelized mature analytical platform which has now been evolved specifically for #Hadoop. For years, Kognitio has been developing parallel SQL which means that Kognitio is a full ANSI SQL solution, giving great flexibility and maturity over other SQL engines.
SQL is an incredibly complex standard. It's difficult enough to implement on a serial platform, but to implement it in parallel is mind-boggingly difficult. Kognitio's mature SQL implementation means that it is more likely to have solved the complex issues around concurrent workloads and provides ultra-fast access to big data, especially for users of BI tools like Tableau or MicroStrategy.
