Vhayu was founded in 1998 by former Intel technologists who were lead architects for the Pentium™ and Merced™ chips. Their combined experience in engineering and software development led to the vision and design of Vhayu's core technology. Their initial focus was to design software powerful and scalable enough to simultaneously capture and analyze every tick of financial market data in order to make faster trading decisions.

The company was granted a patent in 2005 for our method of processing and compressing market data. If you’re wondering where the name originated, in Hinduism, Vayu is a primary god and represents the element of air. We put the letter H in there just for kicks so that no one could pronounce it (what’s that company called again, Vahayu? Vahahoo?).

The underlying multi-threaded architecture which performs user-customizable real-time analytics across massive amounts of streaming data is called MegaTick™. The common limitation of traditional databases is their inability to maintain low latency in real-time in a format that scales accordingly. MegaTick achieves linear scalability through proprietary reliable multi-cast technology. This allows our Velocity products to scale without dramatically increasing overhead as the volumes of data and the number of users increase. All Velocity products are architected with built-in state of the art fault tolerance to provide an enterprise solution that meets the rigorous demands of today's leading financial institutions.

Vhayu has dedicated all of our resources to creating products for the financial services industry. We are specialists in market data and our experience delivering solutions for some of the World’s most prominent financial institutions drives us on a path of perpetual innovation. We understand the importance of how our customers require the fastest and most flexible Complex Event Processing (CEP) technology which is also capable of storing 20 years worth of tick of data and derived analytics in a single platform.
