Introducing ZiZo©
the uniquely transparent data & analytics platform
Conventional Business Analytics has become extremely complexand costly. That is bad enough, but it is also less transparent thanever; the process of turning transaction and customer data intoactionable business intelligence is one that few business people canfollow, and one that fewer Information Technology people cancompletely explain.
Time to rethink how analytics data is managed and used. ZiZo© is arevolutionary software platform which provides a single, simplesoftware environment for provisioning, acquiring, sharing, andtransforming data for business analytics.
ZiZo© is an in-memory "data sandbox" where architects and analystscan work together to collect and shape analytical data with ease,security, and control. ZiZo breaks all kinds of data down into itsrepeating constituent patterns and stores only those patterns in acompact proprietary store. The resulting compression is typicallybetween 90% and 97,5% sheer data compression over SQL or XMLtype data and, critically, is completely lossless ensuring the retrievalof all original data from the stored patterns in the most efficientmanner. ZiZo is simply the fastest and most efficient way to storeanalytics data.
ZiZo© fully supports JDBC, ODBC and SOAP. This simply means thatthe analytical solution of your choice can be based on an entirelyscaleable ZiZo database. The inherent limits in many of theseproducts can therefore be extended to analysing data from billionsof rows, easily and quickly.
Improved Performance
ZiZo© uses a uniquecombination of technologies
for amazing databaseperformance. In combination
with the inbuilt Graphicaldevelopment tool, you can
deliver any data projectfaster, more efficiently with
improved data integrity
Scale up or down
Through our patentedpattern-based architecture,ZiZo is an intelligent solution
that responds to userrequests, self-tunes and
reduces data to a fraction ofits original size, delivering
scalability across even thelargest data sets
Rapid ROI
The ability to run oncommodity hardware, a
simplified licensing model andflexible deployment options
means that ZiZo can help youdeliver the complex analysisyour business requires, at a
considerably lower cost
Seamless Integration
Complete analyticsecosystem so you can
efficiently and effectivelymanage all your data
Simplicity
Data can be pulled from anysource, integrated quickly,
and then published towhichever analytical platform
you require

How does ZiZo©
do all this?The two key components that make
up the ZiZo platform are the ZiZodatabase, together with Pathway, an
entirely graphical programminglanguage.
ZiZo© is an in-memory patterndatabase of a particularly unique
structure. The key to the structure isthat the system itself recognises and
stores only the patterns it finds in eachrow of data. And that it only stores
each pattern once. This means that allredundancy is stripped from the dataand that access to the pattern space,
in memory, is extraordinarily fast. Formost data sets the “compression” is 30
to 1 or greater and ZiZo has oftenachieved a 98% saving on disk space.
ZiZo also does not have toreconstitute the data for queryingsince all queries are directly to the
pattern space.
PathwayTM is a visual scriptingenvironment for integrating,
transforming and synthesizing datafor analytics. Pathway is also 100%computationally complete which
means that anything that cantheoretically be computed in any
programming language, can also bedone in Pathway.
Apart from speed of development,the greatest contrast to, say SQL, is
that queries do not have to beclosely defined and agreed before
they are written. The data isstreamed “through” the developing
graphical query so that theuser/developer can see the data as it
is resolved by the query as it isconstructed.
