From the very beginning, the HEAVY.AI platform was built as a vertically integrated platform designed to allow fully interactive visual exploration of massive multi-billion row datasets, without needing to index, downsample, or pre-aggregate the data. This required the development of a built-in capability to zero-copy render large datasets using the GPU, as well as a web-based visual analytics frontend, HeavyImmerse, that would allow users to effortlessly slice-and-dice data with a few clicks and drags of their mouse.
