SQream is the first product from SQream Technologies Ltd, a company founded in 2010 by Ami Gal and Kostya Varakin in
Tel Aviv, Israel. SQream was first released in 2014 after a partnership with an
Orange S.A. in
Silicon Valley. The firm claimed
Orange S.A. saved $6 million by using SQream in 2014. SQream is aimed at the budget multi-terabyte analytics market, due to its modest hardware requirements and use of compression. SQream is also the basis for a product named GenomeStack, for querying many DNA sequences simultaneously. A US$7.4M investment of
venture capital was announced in June 2015. It is an example of
general-purpose computing on graphics processing units, alongside
OmniSci and
Kinetica. The firm applied for patents, encompassing
parallel execution queries on
multi-core processors and speeding up parallel execution on
vector processors. In February 2018, SQream Technologies partnered with
Alibaba Group's division
Alibaba Cloud to deliver a GPU database service on Alibaba Cloud. In December 2021, SQream announced that it had acquired no-code data platform Panoply for an undisclosed sum, as part of the push to grow its
cloud computing offering. ==Software and features==
