Parstream

ParStream was a big-data analytics database company founded in 2011 in Cologne, Germany by Michael Hummel, Joerg Bienert and Norbert Heuber. Its columnar, GPU-accelerated OLAP database was built for Internet-of-Things environments, filtering and analyzing billions of records in sub-second time at the edge of the network, with query access via SQL and a JSON query format plus a C++ API for user-defined query nodes. Cisco acquired ParStream on October 26, 2015 and folded the team into its Data and Analytics Group; the standalone product was declared obsolete and retired in 2018. The former parstream.com domain now redirects to a Cisco end-of-life product page, and no independent developer portal, API, SDK, or discovery surface remains to enrich.

Parstream is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Analytics, Big Data, Database, and Internet of Things.
