New Patent Issuance for Clareos's Enterprise-Level Business Data Analysis Software Technology; CrossCut Enables Detailed On-Demand Analysis in Interactive Time.HERNDON, Va. -- Clareos, a software company that created the first comprehensive enterprise platform for on-demand analysis of multi-terabyte datasets, today announced that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has approved the issuance of patent 6879984, awarded in 2005, for the Clareos CrossCut analytical software Analytical software is software that is designed specifically for and development of a particular environment or object. . The patent covers a variety of techniques used within the Clareos platform that generate up to 50x faster performance over traditional relational database relational database Database in which all data are represented in tabular form. The description of a particular entity is provided by the set of its attribute values, stored as one row or record of the table, called a tuple. technologies used within strategic business intelligence applications. Clareos uses a columnar data representation with unique compression algorithms that are optimized for large-volume data queries and disk I/O (Input/Output) The transfer of data between the CPU and a peripheral device. Every transfer is an output from one device and an input to another. See PC input/output. I/O - Input/Output efficiency. To achieve maximum performance, Clareos is the first technology company to maintain compression throughout the entire query operation process, a significant breakthrough enabling on-demand analysis of multi-terabyte datasets. Clareos performs analytical queries using multiple CPUs in a massively parallel See MPP. processing (MPP (Massively Parallel Processing or Massively Parallel Processor) A multiprocessing architecture that uses up to thousands of processors. Some might contend that a computer system with 64 or more CPUs is a massively parallel processor. ) architecture. By employing patented algorithms for distributed computation, each CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. is allocated a portion of the query in parallel, vastly improving speed and allowing for near linear performance scalability as new CPUs are added. The software runs on either 32- or 64- bit processors on the Windows or Linux operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. , and accesses data on either local storage or through a storage area network (SAN). The combination of a highly optimized datastore and a parallel architecture gives users incredibly fast query speed, allowing insight into more complicated business questions and exploratory analysis.

It is the top-selling furniture store in the US with more than 150 showrooms. In September 2005 Cindy Crawford launched the "Cindy Crawford Home" furniture line exclusively with Rooms to Go. , states, "Businesses in our industry generate huge amounts of data, which typically makes it very hard to perform any type of analysis on-the-fly. Clareos CrossCut is the first solution we found that could quickly scale to address even the biggest data sets. It has offered us a tremendous competitive advantage." "The ideal solution for on-demand analysis of very large datasets must be exceptionally fast, scalable to handle many terabytes of data, and provide users the flexibility to run any analysis their business needs require. Clareos's patented technology accomplishes all of these goals with an architecture that offers a cost-effective alternative to existing solutions," said Steven Horwitz, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.
