Engineered by KX, kdb Insights Enterprise on Microsoft Azure enables businesses to transform into real-time intelligent enterprises, with preview customers reporting up to 100x the performance at one tenth of the cost of competing solutions.

KX has developed a go-to-market strategy to target those businesses where the processing and analysis of time series and machine data is a critical business requirement. Customers also benefit from being able to use their Azure Consumption Credits, simplifying adoption, b****** and payment.

Also announced today is the first customer win for the new service, with Syneos Health signing a multi-year subscription contract to leverage the power of kdb Insights Enterprise on Microsoft Azure to significantly reduce the time it takes to execute clinical trials and discover new drug treatments. The agreement with Syneos Health will see KX deployed across a variety of use cases – including disease modelling for virtual clinical trials and patient journey mapping – to enable Syneos Health to drive greater value from faster clinical trials, increase the likelihood of successful trials and bring new drugs to market faster.

Ashok Reddy, KX CEO, commented: “The launch of kdb Insights Enterprise on Microsoft Azure as a first party service is a watershed moment for KX. Representing the industry’s first Data Timehouse, it enriches data warehouse and lakehouse technologies and gives customers access to the power and performance of kdb with all the benefits of the Azure platform. It enables companies in all sectors to accelerate their AI and ML analytics workloads, putting data driven decision science at the very heart of their business for enhanced operational and commercial outcomes. We continue to see enormous opportunity for our strategic partnership with Microsoft, helping to underpin our growth expectations.”
