Imagine a large, close-knit family together at a party. As soon as someone arrives, you know exactly who they're related to.
Each data point in your warehouse (like an uncle or a cousin) is stored as a 'node' and the K-Store is designed to automatically recognise relationships with that node.
By storing data in this way, we can optimise storage space, while ensuring the data is instantly available and synced with existing reports.
By storing data in a relational way, the Firefly K-Store learns more and more about how your various data crosses and connects.
This accelerates the process of understanding new data so that you can use it faster. Therefore the 'time to value' of new data is also much faster than you'll get via traditional reporting tools.
Imagine being able to get rich insights by simply entering search terms, like: "How many sales over £100 were made in the last quarter across the south east region".
With the query tools powered by Firefly's K-Store, you can.
Actually Firefly can be both. Using smart data solutions and data recipes intelligent Firefly can store data and documents, structured or non-structured to create a Data Lake. For those who require a more prescribed traditional Data Warehouse Firefly can easily and quickly build and maintain it.
