According to Yu Xu, founder and CEO of TigerGraph, the company is at the forefront of a significant shift in data analysis.

These customers leverage the company’s services to efficiently store and query their graph databases using GSQL, a query language resembling SQL.

The core of TigerGraph’s offerings is the TigerGraphDB database and analytics platform.

Additionally, the company provides TigerGraph Cloud, a hosted service with pay-as-you-go pricing available on both AWS and Azure.

For visual data modeling and analysis, GraphStudio offers a user-friendly graphical interface.

Scalability and Diverse Applications

The TigerGraph database services are engineered to handle substantial datasets, scaling to tens of terabytes with billions of edges.

Its technology supports a wide range of applications, including fraud detection, comprehensive customer profiles, IoT solutions, and advancements in AI and machine learning.

Accelerated Digital Transformation

Like many companies in the data analytics sector, TigerGraph is benefiting from the accelerated digital transformation initiatives undertaken by enterprises during the recent pandemic.

The company notes that the pandemic has driven an increased urgency for businesses to gain deeper insights into their customers, products, services, and supply chains.

Graph technology effectively connects these domains from relational databases, streamlining data preparation and enhancing data quality.

This connectivity facilitates the identification of patterns and enables the delivery of more effective recommendations.
