About us

Our mission is to accelerate the transitionto a Big Data-driven economy and society.

Our roots

Years of research at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center

We are Qbeast Analytics. Our name is a tribute to the Cubistic artists that understood the complexity of the world and knew that drawing it realistically, was a limit to expression.

We faced technical challenges in data analytics that other industries will face only in the years to come. And we solved them.

Merging the scalability and flexibility of Big Data software with the superior efficiency of HPC technology results in a new, innovative architecture to store, organize and analyze data.

They knew that the goal of art was to communicate emotions, not to photocopy their surroundings.

And we solved them. Merging the scalability and flexibility of Big Data software with the superior efficiency of HPC technology results in a new, innovative architecture to store, organize and analyze data.
