Introducing TigerGraph 3.0

  • Introducing TigerGraph 3.0
This blog is the first in a series to unveil the TigerGraph 3.0 GA release. In this blog, we would like to talk about the motivation behind the release, the benefits to the users and of course, the feature set introduced in this release.

Importance of Graph in Today’s World 

As we announce the release of TigerGraph 3.0 GA version, we would like to step back and take a wider look at the current state of the data management market. Graph is consistently listed as a top 10 technology trend in the past few years. There is a clear, big change in recent times in terms of use of Graph to solve business problems. Businesses are no longer satisfied with knowing what happened in the past. Rather the new use cases in advanced analytics are about predicting future outcomes. Any use cases that require in depth analysis of relationships are a natural fit for Graph. Graph analytics allow the exploration of relationships between entities of interest such as organizations, people and transactions.  Graph analytics will grow in the next few years due to the need to ask complex questions across complex data, which is not always practical or even possible at scale using SQL queries. Graph data stores can efficiently model, explore and query data with complex interrelationships across data silos, but the need for specialized skills has limited their adoption to date. So, the key question is: Will Graph DB vendors step up to make Graph databases easily accessible for non-technical users? The answer is yes. TigerGraph 3.0 addresses some of the features to help democratize Graph Analytics.

Areas of Product Focus 

As with any major software release, there is a need to clearly delineate the design thinking behind the TigerGraph feature set. Prior releases have laid the groundwork for the industry leading Graph Database. In terms of performance and enterprise-level features, TigerGraph is the best Graph database in the market. So, the challenge was to build on top of existing functionality and focus on specific areas to make TigerGraph even more compelling for our customers. With that in mind, our approach was to follow three key design principles for 3.0 release: Ease of use: Make it easy for non-technical, new-to-Graph users to quickly onboard and gain value from Graph Databases. Scale and Performance: Ensure that performance and other enterprise requirements scale seamlessly from TBs to PBs to future-proof customer investments. Better Together: Make TigerGraph entry into existing customer data environments as frictionless as possible. Basically, ensure TigerGraph can interoperate with other data management tools so that customers can continue to get returns on their previous investments

TigerGraph 3.0 Feature Benefits

Industry Recognition for TigerGraph 3.0

In closing, we wanted to share some exciting news for us at TigerGraph. We are honored to be selected ‘Cool Vendor in Data Management’ by Gartner. This recognition by a leading industry research firm speaks volumes on TigerGraph’s impact and potential to provide Graph Analytics solutions. The latest recognition is not one off. It is part of a trend.
