Q

is a distributed database that is connected to every device in the network through the Internet. It uses a peer-to-peer model, meaning that data is not stored on a central server. Instead, data is stored directly between the user and the service that the user is trying to access. This provides a faster and more reliable service than a traditional database would because it does not have to be transferred when a change is made.

Q

enables an on-premise software appliance to communicate with cloud-based storage. It provides an edge-­led, no-­premium, high-­speed connection between the software and storage provider, allowing for a more cost-­effective and efficient delivery of software and data to customers. The service can be accessed via a mobile device or web browser and eliminates the need for customers to maintain large, expensive on-premises data centres. Some of the benefits of using a data centre as opposed to a cloud provider include lower costs, longer operational flexibility due to lower operational costs, and availability of human resources for support. A data centre can be more than just a place to park servers. It can be a hub for other business processes, enabling a higher level of integration between the data and the applications that generate it.
