Granica: Query Petabytes Like Terabytes with AI-Powered Data Compression

What is Granica? Granica is an innovative data infrastructure solution designed for AI and analytics, offering self-optimizing, lossless compression that transforms petabytes of data into manageable terabytes. This powerful compression technology significantly reduces storage costs and accelerates query performance across various data platforms, including Iceberg, Delta, Trino, Spark, Snowflake, and Databricks. By leveraging advanced AI, Granica helps data-driven organizations unlock the full potential of their data while minimizing expenses and optimizing workflows.

Key Features and Benefits

• Self-Optimizing, Lossless Compression: Granica's state-of-the-art compression technology ensures data integrity while significantly reducing storage footprint.
• Cost Savings: Reduce Snowflake and Databricks bills by up to 50% by shrinking data volume without compromising data quality.
• Accelerated Query Performance: Experience faster query speeds, allowing data scientists and analysts to gain insights more quickly.
• Seamless Integration: Works with a variety of data lakes and platforms, including Iceberg, Delta, Trino, Spark, Snowflake, and BigQuery, without disruption.
• Automatic Scaling: Granica auto-scales to meet changing data needs, ensuring consistent performance and cost optimization.
• Enhanced Security: Offers SOC-2 Type 2 compliance, full audit logs, and ensures data remains within your cloud environment.

How does Granica work?

Granica’s entropy-aware compression algorithm analyzes data patterns and applies optimized compression techniques to reduce the data footprint by 45-80%. This is achieved without any code changes or downtime. The platform continuously learns from query patterns and data characteristics, dynamically adjusting compression strategies to maintain optimal performance and cost efficiency.

1. Native & Transparent: Deploys directly inside your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) with zero code changes.
2. Continuously Adaptive: Learns from every query and data pattern, reshaping compression on the fly.
3. Hands-off Orchestration: Set a cost-performance target once, and Granica auto-scales to maintain it.

Use Cases

• Data Lake Optimization: Reduce the size of your data lake, improve query performance, and lower storage costs.
• AI/ML Workloads: Accelerate model training and inference by providing faster access to compressed data.
• Business Intelligence: Improve the speed and efficiency of your BI dashboards and reports.
• Data Governance and Compliance: Ensure data security and compliance with full audit logs and SOC-2 Type 2 certification.
