What InfiniteGraph is

InfiniteGraph is a graph database and graph analytics platform from Objectivity for connected and relational data. It supports deep-link analysis, complex graph queries and queries over relational data. The platform can ingest distributed data while constructing the graph, enabling near real-time queries as information arrives. InfiniteGraph is available for on-premise deployment and can run in any cloud environment, including the Microsoft Azure Marketplace and Amazon AWS Marketplace. Listed platforms include API, Linux, self-hosted and Windows. Objectivity describes applications in social networking, business intelligence, scientific research and national security, with customers ranging from U.S. federal government organizations to Fortune 500 companies in manufacturing, finance and healthcare. A 2010 release describes a distributed architecture intended to scale to exabyte or greater sizes. The free version provides up to 50GB of disk storage, and a free trial is available. Objectivity has announced a planned lightweight driver architecture for Python, Java and C++ users. The company is headquartered in Mountain View, California, and its 2021 announcement cites eleven U.S. graph and NoSQL patents plus a GSA schedule.
