History
SQream is the first product from SQream Technologies Ltd, a company founded in 2010 by Ami Gal and Kostya Varakin in Tel Aviv, Israel.
SQream was first released in 2014 after a partnership with an Orange S.A. in Silicon Valley. The firm claimed Orange S.A. saved $6 million by using SQream in 2014. SQream is aimed at the budget multi-terabyte analytics market, due to its modest hardware requirements and use of compression.
SQream is also the basis for a product named GenomeStack, for querying many DNA sequences simultaneously. A US$7.4M investment of venture capital was announced in June 2015. It is an example of general-purpose computing on graphics processing units, alongside OmniSci and Kinetica.
The firm applied for patents, encompassing parallel execution queries on multi-core processors and speeding up parallel execution on vector processors.
In February 2018, SQream Technologies partnered with Alibaba Group's division Alibaba Cloud to deliver a GPU database service on Alibaba Cloud.
In December 2021, SQream announced that it had acquired no-code data platform Panoply for an undisclosed sum, as part of the push to grow its cloud computing offering.
