E6DATA QUERY ENGINE

More answers
per dollar.
Same performance.

The agent-ready query engine with compute-storage separation for teams with ambitious data needs that charges for what you use, not a provisioned size. Sustains high velocity under high concurrency, on your existing tables, SQL, and platform governance.

Up to 50% lower TCO, at the same or better performance.

WHY IT MATTERS

Stop paying for the warehouse size you guessed.

Query bills grow faster than analytics. Warehouses are sized for the peak and paid for while idle, so teams often ration dashboards, delay new use cases, and jump size tiers to scale. Agents asking thousands of questions an hour make it worse.

WHERE IT FITS

Drops into the stack you already run.

Compute you can deploy and run anywhere, in-VPC, on-prem, or any cloud in your lakehouse: no changes to data, queries or governance. Connect to your analytics layer and point to your existing tables and catalog, one workload at a time.

Questions

Do we have to migrate our data?

No. e6data reads the open tables you already have, in your object storage, through your catalog.

Will our SQL run unchanged?

The measured share of queries that run unchanged will be published with the method. Where a dialect differs, the statement is rewritten and the rewrite is explained.

Does our data leave our account?

Not with in-VPC deployment: compute runs next to your tables. For serverless, we document the exact data flow before you decide.

How is this different from scaling our warehouse?

You pay per query, not for the size you picked, and it stays fast at high concurrency instead of queuing behind a coordinator.

Your benchmarks look good. Why trust them?

Do not take them on faith. Ask us for a pilot on your own workload. We put the target savings in writing. No proof, no contract.

Where does e6data not fit?

Workloads dominated by 10 TB+ batch reports, or long join-heavy finance reports. We will tell you up front.

Can we run it alongside Databricks or Snowflake?

Yes. Move one workload at a time, on the same tables. Reverse it if you want.

How do we buy?

AWS or Azure Marketplace, against existing commitments.

Is it ready for AI agents?

Built for high-concurrency, short queries, which is what agents send. Production proof is 1,000+ QPS under 2s at p95; an agent-specific benchmark is in progress.
