Technology
MySQL
For analytical databases Quantics has developed high scale MySQL systems
on commodity computer hardware. To model the wholesale electricity market in
New Zealand, a MySQL database containing 28 billion rows of data was created.
Modeling trading conditions for a period of the day completed within sub second
magnitude.
Using MySQL for online applications, Quantics developed a transit scheduling
application, typical queries for stop location, network, route and time information
take less than a second. Time being a critical factor in online versus off line
applications, to allow for network latency.
Quantics has provided training and analysis of existing MySQL applications.
Ranging from quick wins, for example tips on better table indexing, to
describing how to read performance data to allow for independent optimization.
Analysis includes monitoring queries on non relational tables of existing
application to create entity relationship diagrams.
Web Software
Quantics has developed HTML5 applications for desktop and mobile browsers.
This includes using browser extensions to provide geolocation and local storage. Creating Javascript
libraries, developed in house, such as a library to provide web user interface and a library that provides
simplified table queries of web service data.
Alongside Javascript Quantics has used CSS in a application context to provide rich web interfaces.
Development Tools
Quantics develops using sound engineering principles. Software tools such as Git source control,
unit testing frameworks, Wiki and bug tracking software are used to ensure integrity.
When we provide a solution, it will include full access to all
development steps used to build the software meaning any future work will be open for any
internal or third party to continue development or audit. In developing modeling software
for the wholesale electricity market Quantics provided hard copy and live versions of
the software documentation alongside full development source control and bug tracking
databases. Quantics endeavors to create software that requires little or no administration
but if required support staff have access to all information required to diagnose problems.
Existing Software Infrastructure
Quantics has developed software that has worked alongside products from Oracle, Microsoft and
Sun. This includes databases, operating systems, network environments and desktop applications.
Quantics will work with your existing software environment and data formats to provide
consistent business focused information availability.
