Clusterpoint

Clusterpoint, founded in 2006 by software engineers Gints Ernestsons, Jurgis Orups, and Oskars Viksna, is a software technology company headquartered in London, United Kingdom. The firm began as an enterprise software vendor, securing venture capital backing to develop its core product. By February 2012, Clusterpoint had raised $1.3 million in a later-stage venture round, part of a total of $2.68 million raised over its lifetime.

The company's primary offering is a schema-free, document-oriented NoSQL database management system. This platform is engineered to manage data in open XML or JSON formats, providing a solution for performance and scalability challenges often encountered with traditional SQL databases, especially in web and mobile applications dealing with large data volumes. The database architecture supports high-speed data retrieval, with performance claims suggesting it can be significantly faster than relational systems for certain tasks. It blends ACID-compliant transactions with full-text search and analytics capabilities within a single platform.

Building on its database technology, Clusterpoint developed a network forensics cybersecurity solution called the Network Traffic Surveillance System (NTSS). This system is designed to capture, store, and analyze all internet traffic on a corporate network in real-time. It allows non-technical users to investigate network activity, monitor for regulatory compliance, prevent data leakage, and provide warnings of cyber attacks through an intuitive, graphical interface. The NTSS serves commercial and government enterprises by helping them manage and derive intelligence from network data. According to PitchBook, the company is now out of business as of August 2015.
