Bureau 14 is a Paris-based software publisher founded in 2008. The company publishes Quasardb, a distributed associative database that allows for real time manipulation of massive databases with first class reliability and performance.

Originally a proof of concept to evaluate the maximum theoretical performance of modern multi-core computers, especially in terms of memory bandwidth, Quasardb progressively evolved from a pure in-memory data store to a persisted, network-distributed, associative database.

Quasardb is based on recent theoretical breakthroughs in the field of massively distributed software, memory management and I/O management.
The team behind Quasardb is comprised of senior engineers with extensive experience in kernel programming, file systems and high-performance network servers with a strong culture of critical production environments.
