Kognitio, a global provider of business intelligence (BI) and data warehousing solutions, recently announced that its WX2 analytical database has been selected as a winner of the 2009 Best Products and Services Award by Network Products Guide, a leading publication on information technologies and solutions.

The annual award honors products and services that represent the rapidly changing needs and interests of the end–users of technology worldwide. As part of the tech–industry’s leading global awards program, this year’s Best Products and Services were nominated by companies worldwide.  The announcement was made at the Interop technology conference, being held in Las Vegas, where Network Products Guide is a media sponsor.

Kognitio’s award–winning WX2, the most mature analytical database of its type on the market today, is now in its third decade of helping mid–sized and large enterprises gain unprecedented analytical access to, and insight from, massive amounts of data, thus allowing them to remain ahead of their competitors. Available via traditional software license, as an integrated data warehousing appliance, or through Kognitio’s industry–first Data Warehousing as a Service (DaaS) offering, WX2 enables users to reliably gain greater benefits in less time by querying, in detail, vast amounts of granular data in just seconds. WX2 consistently obtains results several times faster than competing data warehouse appliances and up to 60 times faster than typical software–only databases.

“Increased end-user awareness and ongoing advances in technology are helping shape better products and services,” said Rake Narang, Editor–In–Chief, Network Products Guide. “Kognitio’s WX2 is at the forefront of delivering quantifiable improvements to companies with an escalating need for the benefits of data analytics, delivering quantifiable value more rapidly and at a fraction of the cost of competing products.”
