Fuzzy Logix develops high -performance analytics solutions for Big Data. Fuzzy Logix offers in-database [1] [2] and GPU-based analytics solutions built on comprehensive and growing libraries of over 600 mathematical, statistical, simulation, data mining, time series and financial models.
Fuzzy Logix was formed in 2007 by Partha Sen and Mike Upchurch who met while working at Bank of America and shared a goal of making analytics pervasive. [3] Kaushal Misra and Aashu Virmani joined in 2015, both from IIT Roorkee (same as Partha Sen) helped grow the company by providing expertise in Sales, Cloud, AI, Marketing, and Alliances. In 2008 Fuzzy Logix released DB Lytix, the first complete and commercially available library of in-database analytics. FIN Lytix was released in 2010 and was the first comprehensive library of in-database financial models. In 2010, Aperity OEM’d Fuzzy Logix models to run in their analytics and CPG software SaaS solutions. In 2011, Quest [4] (now Dell) released Toad for Data Analyst (Data Point) that included Fuzzy Logix's models running in MySQL. The company was started in Charlotte, NC, USA, where their headquarters are located today. Fuzzy Logix has offices in Richmond, VA, Cupertino, CA and in the UK and India and has reseller partners in Mexico, Sweden, Japan and China. Now Fuzzy Logix conducts business through AarkAI LLC.
Fuzzy Logix offers four software products DB Lytix and Fin Lytix are comprehensive libraries of in-database analytic models. The libraries leverage the user defined function (UDF) capability available in database platforms. The software is available on multiple database platforms. Since data movement from the database is minimized and database platforms are growing increasingly powerful, in-database models run 5X to 100X faster than models that use multi-tiered analytics platforms.
Fuzzy Logix released the first comprehensive library of in-database models, DB Lytix in 2008. The library had been under development since 1998. The library includes mathematical, statistical, data mining, simulation and classification models.
Fuzzy Logix released the first comprehensive financial library FIN Lytix, in 2010. The library contains models for equity, fixed income, foreign exchange, interest rate and time series models that are used by the financial services industry for risk management, pricing and portfolio optimization.

Informix is a product family within IBM's Information Management division that is centered on several relational database management system (RDBMS) and multi-model database offerings. The Informix products were originally developed by Informix Corporation, whose Informix Software subsidiary was acquired by IBM in 2001.
Ingres Database is a proprietary SQL relational database management system intended to support large commercial and government applications.
Db2 is a family of data management products, including database servers, developed by IBM. It initially supported the relational model, but was extended to support object–relational features and non-relational structures like JSON and XML. The brand name was originally styled as DB2 until 2017, when it changed to its present form.
Sybase, Inc. was an enterprise software and services company. The company produced software relating to relational databases, with facilities located in California and Massachusetts. Sybase was acquired by SAP in 2010; SAP ceased using the Sybase name in 2014.
The following tables compare general and technical information for a number of relational database management systems. Please see the individual products' articles for further information. Unless otherwise specified in footnotes, comparisons are based on the stable versions without any add-ons, extensions or external programs.
Simple Features is a set of standards that specify a common storage and access model of geographic features made of mostly two-dimensional geometries used by geographic databases and geographic information systems. It is formalized by both the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
Business intelligence software is a type of application software designed to retrieve, analyze, transform and report data for business intelligence. The applications generally read data that has been previously stored, often - though not necessarily - in a data warehouse or data mart.
In database computing, Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) — an option for the Oracle Database software produced by Oracle Corporation and introduced in 2001 with Oracle9i — provides software for clustering and high availability in Oracle database environments. Oracle Corporation includes RAC with the Enterprise Edition, provided the nodes are clustered using Oracle Clusterware.
Embedded SQL is a method of combining the computing power of a programming language and the database manipulation capabilities of SQL. Embedded SQL statements are SQL statements written inline with the program source code, of the host language. The embedded SQL statements are parsed by an embedded SQL preprocessor and replaced by host-language calls to a code library. The output from the preprocessor is then compiled by the host compiler. This allows programmers to embed SQL statements in programs written in any number of languages such as C/C++, COBOL and Fortran. This differs from SQL-derived programming languages that don't go through discrete preprocessors, such as PL/SQL and T-SQL.
SAP IQ is a column-based, petabyte scale, relational database software system used for business intelligence, data warehousing, and data marts. Produced by Sybase Inc., now an SAP company, its primary function is to analyze large amounts of data in a low-cost, highly available environment. SAP IQ is often credited with pioneering the commercialization of column-store technology.
The World Programming System, also known as WPS Analytics or WPS, is a software product developed by a company called World Programming.
The SQuirreL SQL Client is a database administration tool. It uses JDBC to allow users to explore and interact with databases via a JDBC driver. It provides an editor that offers code completion and syntax highlighting for standard SQL. It also provides a plugin architecture that allows plugin writers to modify much of the application's behavior to provide database-specific functionality or features that are database-independent. As this desktop application is written entirely in Java with Swing UI components, it should run on any platform that has a JVM.
In computing, the term data warehouse appliance (DWA) was coined by Foster Hinshaw for a computer architecture for data warehouses (DW) specifically marketed for big data analysis and discovery that is simple to use and has a high performance for the workload. A DWA includes an integrated set of servers, storage, operating systems, and databases.
An embedded database system is a database management system (DBMS) which is tightly integrated with an application software; it is embedded in the application. It is a broad technology category that includes:
IBM Netezza is a subsidiary of American technology company IBM that designs and markets high-performance data warehouse appliances and advanced analytics applications for the most demanding analytic uses including enterprise data warehousing, business intelligence, predictive analytics and business continuity planning.
Michael Ralph Stonebraker is a computer scientist specializing in database systems.
