Kyligence Launches Intelligent Data Cloud for Interactive Analytics at Massive Concurrency and Scale
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Kyligence, originator of Apache Kylin and developer of the AI-augmented analytics platform Kyligence Cloud, today announced the immediate availability of Kyligence Cloud 4, its new cloud-native distributed big data analytics platform.
Available on Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS, Kyligence Cloud 4 leverages cloud-native concepts such as the separate scaling of compute and storage to enable fast, scalable and highly concurrent analytics against cloud data warehouses and data lakes. It combines high performance and high concurrency OLAP, a cloud-native architecture, and auto-optimization using machine learning algorithms to simplify and automate cloud analytics. Kyligence Cloud 4 can routinely deliver sub-second query response times against datasets of hundreds of terabytes to petabytes.
“I’m very excited about our partnership with Kyligence,” said Brian Parone, CTO, risk technology, UBS. “Kyligence Cloud is a foundational technology at the heart of our centralized reporting platform built upon our Azure-based data lake. Now, for the first time, we are able to combine our data from Risk, Finance, and Treasury creating a unified reporting layer.”
“As the race for unified analytics heats up, Kyligence offers a solution that overcomes the challenges of querying data in both data lakes and data warehouses located both in the cloud and on premises,” said John Santaferraro, research director for analytics, EMA. “While this is being attempted by other vendors, Kyligence also solves the need for high performance, real-time analytics required by digital business. Looking forward, EMA expects Kyligence to further advance its use of artificial intelligence in the platform to automate even more aspects of unified analytics.”
Kyligence Cloud 4 drastically reduces cloud analytics costs by offloading processing from cloud data warehouses and data lakes by employing distributed aggregate indexes – a cloud-native successor to OLAP cubes. Kyligence Cloud also provides intelligent query routing and Smart Pushdown™ that ensures queries of all kinds are delivered with optimal performance. With its Unified Semantic Service, Kyligence Cloud offers a consolidated analytical view across enterprise data sources to build a single expression of truth for business users.
Through the use of machine learning, Kyligence Cloud’s AI-augmented engine automatically identifies the most frequently accessed datasets from SQL query history, analyst usage patterns, data profiles, and runtime metrics and uses that intelligence to efficiently rationalize analytical models. Kyligence Cloud has an intuitive administrative user experience that significantly reduces operating and maintenance costs. In addition, it dramatically increases the number of concurrent users conducting data analytics on these platforms, which is the best option to deliver data-as-a-service to machine learning and SaaS analytics applications.
“When a significant proportion of your IT budget is allocated to cloud services, significant performance gains translate to pure savings in the cloud,” said Li Kang, vice president of North America, Kyligence. “Kyligence Cloud functions as a high performance data service that delivers unified semantics and supports SQL, MDX, and REST interfaces. Our mission is to follow a cloud-native approach to enable data engineers and SQL experts to build high performance into the datasets they curate.”
Key features of Kyligence Cloud 4 include:
- Unified Semantic Service – Abstracted from different data sources on cloud and performs as a centralized data service for all kinds of analytics with one single data view. It does not require the need to move all data from one source to another. It’s easy to architect a SQL service on top of Cloud Storage like S3 directly, and with its complex calculation logic and security, ACL settings are no longer tied to specific BI tools and platforms. Instead, they are now available to all business users no matter what BI tools they choose.
- AI-Augmented Engine – Machine learning algorithms are used to continually improve performance by auto indexing based on query history and user behavior. It also provides automation of data modeling that can drastically reduce the time to prepare data services for data science, machine learning, and SaaS analytics workloads.
- Cloud Native Architecture based on Open Source – Designed and built for today’s cloud, Kyligence Cloud is powered by Apache Kylin with added machine intelligence, support for all popular BI tools (Excel, Microstrategy, Power BI, Tableau, Qlik) and back end data platforms (Snowflake, AWS S3, Azure Data Lake Storage, Azure Blob Storage.)
- Intelligent Distributed OLAP – Using precomputed aggregate indexes, smart Indexes and Smart Pushdown™, Kyligence Cloud 4 delivers sub-second query response times on petabyte-scale datasets. This drastically reduces the load on back end systems like Snowflake and Synapse, and lowers cloud infrastructure costs.
- Smart Pushdown™ – The benefit of smart routing and pushdown is to enable the best strategy to maximize sub-second response times without sacrificing the ability to run ad hoc or detailed queries. This also removes the need to move data for data discovery and exploration.
“Contrary to popular belief, OLAP isn’t dead. It has not been killed by big data,” said Mike Leone, senior analyst, ESG. “There are many companies – along with millions of users, cubes, and experts – that continue to leverage OLAP, and have turned to Apache Kylin and Kyligence Cloud for better enablement. The latest release, Kyligence Cloud 4, redefines what OLAP means for those embracing cloud analytics, reinvigorating life back into lagging BI implementations.”
Availability
Kyligence Cloud 4 is immediately available on Microsoft Azure and Amazon AWS.

Courageous Whistleblowers Reclaim Derogatory Terms As Data Shows 80% of Financial Professionals Stay Silent on Suspected Internal Fraud, Fearing Retaliation
Enron whistleblower, Sherron Watkins, alongside stars of Apple TV’s The Big Conn, Sarah Carver and Jennifer Griffith, reclaim derogatory labels for whistleblowers Concerning new data shows more than half of financial professionals in the UK and US have spotted or suspected internal fraud in their workplaces, yet four out of five stay silent fearing retaliation 32% of professionals in finance have seen whistleblowers victimized behind their back or to their faceJACKSONVILLE, Fla., May 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — New data from fraud detection software company Medius shows more than half of financial professionals in the UK and US (56%) have spotted or suspected internal fraud in their workplaces yet four in five (81%) stayed silent. When asked why, 45% of professionals cited the fear of recrimination.
Whistleblowers Sherron Watkins, Sarah Carver and Jennifer Griffith have joined forces to reclaim the derogatory names they were called after reporting serious internal financial fraud.
To help empower others to come forward, the whistleblowers are reclaiming the terms “snitch”, “rat” and “traitor”.
Sherron Watkins is the former Vice President of Enron Corporation who alerted the CEO to accounting irregularities, warning the organization “‘might implode in a wave of accounting scandals.” Watkins received national acclaim for her courageous actions and TIME magazine named her along with two others as their Persons of the Year in 2002, calling them simply ‘The Whistleblowers.’
Sarah Carver and Jennifer Griffith are the stars of Apple TV’s The Big Conn after they exposed a fraud scheme of more than $550 million while employed at the Social Security Administration. In efforts to silence their disclosures, they experienced multiple acts of severe retaliation and were denied protection. Ultimately, both Carver and Griffith were forced from employment.
Concerns of repercussions are vindicated – the survey reveals the extent to which financial professionals in the UK and US have witnessed negative consequences for whistleblowers firsthand:
59% have seen whistleblowers subsequently left out of important decisions 33% have seen whistleblowers moved to a different team 32% have heard whistleblowers called derogatory names behind their backs or directly to their faceWhen asked what would encourage them to flag suspicious activity, 93% of workers surveyed would feel more comfortable doing so if they had more evidence, yet nearly half (48%) said the legal system simply does not adequately protect whistleblowers.
Jim Lucier, CEO at Medius, a leading global provider of cloud-based accounts payable automation and spend management solutions, said:
“White collar crime is on the rise and no organization is safe. Employees are the last line of defense against fraud but confidence to report suspicious activity is declining. AI anomaly-detection technology can provide employees with the evidence and assurances they need to be more forthcoming. Building a culture where employees feel comfortable to report their suspicions could save organizations millions in the long-run.”
Medius works with over 4,000 customers across 102 countries and processes $200 billion in annual spend. It uses the power of AI and automation to detect fraud the moment invoices are submitted safeguarding against bad actors and potential threats, internal and external.
Sherron Watkins, whistleblower who was called a “snitch”, said: “When someone is troubled by corporate wrongdoing and they attempt to sound the alarm, the pathway is uncharted, things happen organically. Normal rational people speak about their concerns with their closest friends and work colleagues, who often suggest staying safe saying “keep your head down, if you must report, go soft, nothing black and white.” Yet black and white evidence is what is needed to get the attention of those in power, either internally or with media or outside watchdog groups to prevent or stop fraudulent activity.”
Jennifer Griffith, whistleblower who was called a “traitor”, said: “Choosing to blow the whistle involves more than just the desire to right a wrong. It’s about protecting their employers from fraud. However, it’s more often than not seen as causing trouble for the employer, or as a self-serving action to get a financial reward. No one who chooses to blow the whistle expects to have their reputation attacked, their credibility impugned or to lose their job. The cost of ignoring a whistleblowers complaints are far greater than acknowledging that a problem exists and taking steps to fix it. It’s been 19 years since I blew the whistle and the problems that existed then with the Social Security Administration still exist today. We must do more to protect whistleblowers.”
Sarah Carver, whistleblower who was called a “rat”, said: “The government’s attempt to conceal the fraud resulted in exacerbated damage, whereas a more prudent approach would have entailed immediate acknowledgement and rectification upon initial disclosure. The retaliatory measures aimed at silencing me made me stronger and fight harder to find someone to listen and stop the fraud.”
Georgina Hallford-Hall, CEO of Whistleblowers UK, said: “Too many organisations talk the talk but fail to engage with whistleblowers often at great cost to both. Technology used properly can remove the fear that both organisations and whistleblowers have about dealing with whistleblowing because it removes the person and focuses on the concerns or malfeasance. WhistleblowersUK are calling on the UK government to introduce an Independent Office of the Whistleblower to protect everyone from discrimination setting standards that end stigmatisation and discrimination making it safe to speak up.”
The billboard advertising campaign runs on Wall Street from Saturday, 18th May to Friday, 24th May 2024.
