Sqrrl is a Boston-based Big Data startup that has built an enterprise solution on top of Apache Accumulo.

Apache Accumulo is a NoSQL database that is flexible, secure and can scale to up to multiple petabytes. Accumulo is used throughout the Department of Defense and the U.S. Intelligence Service.
Sqrrl was founded in August 2012 when a team of the core creators and developers of Accumulo teamed up to develop an enterprise solution. With a $ 2 million seed funding from Matrix Partners & Atlas Venture they started to develop a NoSQL platform for powering real-time web applications on top of Big Data.
