What Is Granica?
Granica is an AI tool designed to enhance the efficiency and privacy of data storage and access for training purposes. It operates as a developer-first platform, capable of handling petabyte-scale data and seamlessly integrating with AWS and GCP cloud environments.
Granica aims to address the growing demand for generative AI and the need to organize data effectively. It introduces efficiency as a new layer in the AI stack, making AI pipelines more performant and privacy-preserving.
One of Granica’s notable features is its ability to estimate cost savings within just 30 minutes in your cloud environment. By analyzing a read-only sample of your S3 or GCS data, it allows you to assess potential savings without the need for extensive budget allocation or total cost of ownership analysis. Importantly, Granica ensures that your data never leaves your environment and deploys into your secure Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), respecting all your security policies and integrating seamlessly with your applications.
Granica supports a wide range of data types, including images, LiDAR, clickstream data, logs, and more. It provides lossy and fully lossless compression variants to accommodate diverse AI/ML/analytics use cases. Additionally, Granica safeguards data both at rest and in motion, enabling the detection and protection of sensitive information before it even enters your cloud object store. This proactive approach enhances data security and reduces the risk of breaches.
Granica enables you to unlock more data and train better models by safely leveraging files containing secured and de-identified data for downstream model training, analytics, and other applications. Granica scans all data at rest cost-effectively, without the need for application integration, ensuring maximum data privacy.
With a unified platform and API, Granica offers multiple efficiency services such as Crunch and Screen. By making only a simple change to the endpoint in your applications, you can access these services, which are compatible with S3 and GCS. Granica remains within your VPC, co-resident with your data, and shares only platform telemetry to provide proactive support.
Granica provides deep observability into how your data is stored and accessed, empowering you with granular insights to optimize its efficiency. It also boasts auto-scaling capabilities, allowing it to autonomously meet the capacity and throughput demands of workloads across different zones, regions, and clouds. Importantly, Granica follows an outcome-based pricing model, ensuring you only pay when the tool has delivered value through its various services.
