Their products are built upon the proprietary time-series database kdb+ and its programming language Q. Kdb+ is optimized for ingesting, analyzing and storing massive amounts of structured data in real-time and has set multiple records in STAC Research benchmarks.[3]Kdb+ is used in financial modeling and data analysis by Wall Street investment banks,[4] and energy, telecommunications, government, and other industries.[5] The company was founded in 1993 by Janet Lustgarten and Arthur Whitney.[6] Whitney is the developer of the K language. In 2014, First Derivatives increased their ownership interest to a 65 percent share of the privately held company as it began expanding its databases to retail, pharmaceuticals, and utilities.[5] In 2018, First Derivatives announced plans to buy out the remaining shares of Kx Systems.[7] Kx Systems is headquartered in Palo Alto, California, and has further offices in New York City, England, Ireland, Germany, Australia, Singapore, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.[1][8] OverviewIn 1993, Whitney and Lustgarten joined together to commercialize the K programming platform Whitney had created after building the A+ language and other trading systems at Morgan Stanley.[4][9] The purpose of the software was to access and explore large data volumes in financial services computer systems.[10] Initially, Kx Systems had an exclusive contract with Swiss global financial services firm UBS to provide them with the K language. In 1998, the contract with UBS expired and the firm launched the Kdb+ database. As part of Kdb+, Whitney developed a new language named Q that operates with K and allows the use of English words as functions.[11] In 1999, the firm reached a marketing agreement with Northern Ireland based firm, First Derivatives.[12] Kx Systems opened an office in Manhattan in 2002,[13] offices in Germany and Japan in 2003,[14] and an office in Hong Kong in 2009.[15] In 2014, First Derivatives purchased a 65 percent share of Kx Systems, which began a trend in offering Kdb+ to other data-driven industries.[5] Kx Systems has also partnered with the equity trading platform, IEX Group Inc., to conduct real-time market surveillance, which can be used to monitor actions such as insider trading.[16] To demonstrate this expansion of Kdb+ into verticals outside of finance, Kx has entered into a partnership with Aston Martin Red Bull Racing[17] and has become a technology supplier to NASA's Frontier Development Lab[18]. As of 2019 Kdb+ is available as an on-demand solution via the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace. [19] Fusion InterfacesAs of mid 2018, Kx released a ‘Fusion’ initiative to increase the interface options for kdb+[20]. These include:
