HEAVY.AI

What is HEAVY.AI?

HEAVY.AI is a hardware-accelerated analytics platform for large location and time datasets. Its core is HeavyDB, an ANSI SQL columnar database that uses GPU and CPU parallelism and supports native geospatial types. On top sit Heavy Immerse, a browser-based visual analytics client with cross-filtering, multi-layer geo charts and multisource dashboards, and HeavyRender, which draws large maps and scatterplots on the server and sends lightweight images to the browser. HeavyIQ adds conversational analytics: you ask a question by typing or speaking, a language model translates it to SQL, and results appear as charts, tables or text, with the generated SQL available to check. HeavyConnect queries data in warehouses and lakes without moving it, and HeavyML runs regression and clustering models inside the database. Interfaces include SQL, Python, JavaScript, JDBC and ODBC. HEAVY.AI Free supports up to 3 active users and 32GB of RAM, an open-source HeavyDB is available, and Enterprise is priced through sales with a free 30-day trial.

Why use HEAVY.AI

• Lets analysts filter and explore very large datasets interactively instead of waiting on batch queries.
• Handles geospatial data natively, so maps and spatial relationships are built into dashboards.
• HeavyIQ shows the SQL behind each answer, so results can be verified.
• Runs in Docker, on bare metal Linux, on premise, in public clouds or as a managed cloud service.
• A free edition and an open-source engine make it possible to try before an enterprise purchase.
