A Star Quantum Inc.

A Star Quantum Inc. (President & CEO: Koji Funabashi) has been awarded a contract by JAL Engineering Co., Ltd. (President: Takashi Hamamoto; hereinafter "JALEC") to develop a data analytics platform. The platform will store and analyze in-flight sensor data collected from aircraft operated by JALEC to predict potential faults.

Leveraging the speed and security of AQCloud, its high-speed Quantum AI cloud computing platform, A Star Quantum will provide the “AQ Data Nexus × Data Analytics Platform.” Powered by a proprietary ultra-high-speed database, the platform can sort, cluster, search, and perform operations such as sorting, clustering, and searching on datasets containing up to 100 trillion records in under one second.

By deploying the AQ Data Nexus × Data Analytics Platform, A Star Quantum will accelerate data analytics workflows and contribute to JALEC’s ongoing efforts to improve aircraft reliability.

■About the AQ Data Nexus × Data Analytics Platform

Heading: 1. Uniqueness and Technological Advantages. AQ Data Nexus breaks through data analytics latency bottlenecks by processing 100 trillion records in under one second. Side-by-side comparison: On the left, "Conventional Standard Architecture" highlighting limitations of large-scale, complex queries (queries taking over 20 seconds or timing out) and rising costs due to parallel processing. On the right, A Star Quantum "AQ Data Nexus" highlighting: 1) Processes 100 trillion records in under one second via a proprietary ultra-high-speed database algorithm, and 2) 10,000x greater capacity (expanding from TB to PB scale) and dramatically lower costs by eliminating parallel servers.
