People have grown to believe that big data is unwieldy, cumbersome, slow. Tectonix believes otherwise. They set out to deliver an unmatched data experience, where rapid response times and intuitive controls combine to yield actionable insights in seconds instead of hours. Traditional data tools are built to take a large data set, accept a narrowly defined query and provide the answer that the user thinks they're looking for. Tectonix sought to take a different approach. Instead, they start with the big picture, allowing their users to whittle down to the answers they seek. In doing so, users discover answers to questions along the way that they would never have thought to ask, generating actionable intelligence that would have otherwise gone undiscovered. Most analytics platforms can help you find a needle in a haystack — but when scaling your lens to start with hundreds of billions of data points becomes not just possible, but PRACTICAL, you'll be able to find every needle in every haystack and see how they all fit together.

Mike DiMarco, with Tectonix, explains their large scale data visualization and how they are able to work with datasets in the hundreds of billions. Their frontend UI allows users to easily interact with the data at the speed of thought. He demonstrates how their scalability creates an environment where analysts can get core insights without having to wait hours.
