How Molecula Works
Molecula provides real-time, virtualized access to all data in-memory via an abstraction layer above the physical implementation of data. Here’s a closer look at the virtualization process. Roll over a component in the below diagram to learn more about it.

Plugin Ecosystem
Ingest
Monitoring
Consumption
Plugins available today—
In addition to a REST API, client libraries, and SQL support, Molecula has an extension framework to support plugins for most upstream and downstream systems, including ingest, data consumption, and security.
These plugins are designed to connect to data sources ranging from databases (sql or nosql), to data pipelines and file systems in order to ingest data into Molecula.
Kafka
Ingest data from a Kafka topic into Molecula
Kafka Connect
Ingest data via Kafka Connect into Molecula
MySQL
Ingest data from MySQL database into Molecula
SQL
Ingest data from SQL Server database into Molecula
Snowflake
Ingest data from Snowflake data warehouse into Molecula
Cassandra
Ingest data from Cassandra database into Molecula
Teradata
Ingest data from Teradata data warehouse into Molecula
Spark

Molecula in action—
Molecula’s Cloud Data Access Platform simplifies, accelerates, and controls big data infrastructure by leveraging highly-performant data representations, eliminating the need to pre-aggregate, federate, copy, cache, or move source data.
Data in real time delivers real advantages—
With Molecula, your entire team will see significant, job-changing enhancements to the way they’re able to perform their jobs.
IT/Data Engineers
will be able to simplify data availability with no compromise via:
Advantages—
- 100% data access up to PB scale
- Most performant, secure unified access
- Unlimited joins/any format, no pre-aggregation
- No data copies or movement
Business Users/Data Scientists
can accelerate time from data to decisions thanks to:
Advantages—
- Instant, continuous, deeper insights across any data set
- Choice of any data science/BI tool
- 1000x faster BI/ML
- Lower time to value with fast queries and no data delivery cycles
CISOs/CIOs/CDOs
can control data access, compliance risks, and costs through:
Advantages—
- Secure sharing across ecosystem and edge to core
- Meet compliance requirements
- Reduce data sprawl
- Reduce data infrastructure footprint or cloud costs 10-100x
Molecula’s Technology Superpowers—
Key Differentiators:
Breaking the Latency Floor
By deconstructing by entities, fields, values, and relationships and standardizing it as a core data format, we enable a cascading set of benefits that includes Analytics at UI speed supporting highly concurrent access.
JOINS
The ability to performantly JOIN at query-time across disparate VDSs.
Copy-free Portability
When spawning our highly-performant data representations, only translation keys and updates to relationships are moved across the network, yielding up to 100X reduction in hardware footprint and data movement.
High Concurrency Analytics
Because of the extreme performance achieved querying a VDS, clients can now offer "UI latency" analytics to large user bases.
Effortless Control
Control access to cell-level data, audits usage, track lineage, anonymize data and manage infrastructure resources with unrivaled precision.
Schema Simplification
The value-first data representation used by Molecula enables some interesting benefits in terms of schema, including multi-valued and time quantums.
