Classification: InBrief
EsgynDB is a massively parallel processing SQL-based database that typically leverages Trafodion tables, but which also supports Hive, HBase, Parquet, ORC and Avro formats.
Esgyn was founded by ex-HP staff that had worked on successive generations of that company’s database technology, starting with Tandem NonStop SQL, via HP’s enterprise data warehouses, to EsgynDB, which represents the 4th generation of development, and which is a SQL on Hadoop engine focused on supporting hybrid environments where you want to combine transactional and analytic processing with mixed workloads and multi-structured datasets, though it can and does support either of these as independent requirements.
