SCAILIUM overcomes data connectivity challenges and empowers engineering team with Simba

• Connected multiple, complex data sources with ease.

• Provided robust, standards-compliant ODBC connectivity without having to build or maintain the ODBC stack themselves.

• Accelerated development timelines, giving SCAILIUM more time for value-added engineering tasks.

For over a decade, SCAILIUM has been at the forefront of graphics processing unit (GPU)-native acceleration. SCAILIUM is the world’s first GPU-native software engine that collapses CPU-bound pipelines into a direct GPU path, eliminating GPU starvation and delivering industrial-scale throughput at a fraction of the energy. A purpose-built AI Production Layer, SCAILIUM turns fragmented pipelines into a continuous, silicon-speed production flow.

Struggling with fragmented data

SCAILIUM prides itself on delivering excellence in GPU software. As the business expanded its portfolio, it ran into challenges with connecting its platform to multiple, complicated data sources. Knowing the organization needed broad connectivity without adding complexity, SCAILIUM searched for a production-grade ODBC solution.

The organization found Simba Data Connectivity. Simba gave SCAILIUM access to reliable, high-performance connectivity across the organizations’ breadth of different data sources. Simba offered SCAILIUM:

• Frictionless connectivity to multiple data sources with expert-built ODBC drivers.  

• Performance at scale, delivering responsive queries and live data access for even the most complex backends.  

• SQL for everything, enabling tools to speak SQL.

• A trusted business partnership, with white-glove support that helped SCAILIUM deliver results quickly and confidently.

Improved ODBC connectivity without the stress

Simba Data Connectivity allows SCAILIUM to provide robust, standards-compliant ODBC connectivity to clients without having to build and maintain the entire ODBC stack themselves. The framework handles much of the complexity around connection and statement management, metadata APIs, type conversion, error handling, and driver manager integration. This allows engineers to focus on integrating with SCAILIUM and on the core technology where the business differentiates itself.

 “For us, this has translated into faster development and materially lower engineering and maintenance overhead,” said Yuval Shtemer, COO at SCAILIUM.

Customer support at every turn

With Simba’s white-glove support, SCAILIUM doesn’t need to worry about keeping drivers updated because Simba handles that for them. Simba meticulously maintains drivers, enabling SCAILIUM to stay connected without needing to dedicate valuable engineering resources to it.

And when questions arise, the organization can trust Simba’s knowledge and customer support so that the business can continue focusing on delivering AI-powered insights to clients. “The support has also been valuable: when we encounter ODBC-specific questions or issues, we have access to a team with deep expertise in the standard and its implementation,” Shtemer said.

With Simba, SCAILIUM overcame the challenge of staying connected to a complex array of different data sources. And because Simba handles maintenance, SCAILIUM’s engineers have more time for initiatives that drive the business forward. When questions arise, the organization can trust Simba’s support team, ensuring they never need to wait on answers while resolving new challenges quickly.
