What is Exasol Personal?
Exasol Personal is a fully functional version of the Exasol database that removes the traditional barriers around data size, cluster management and performance for individuals.
Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC), or now run it entirely on your own machine. Spin up a high-speed cluster with a single command, with no limits on data or features. It’s the same engine you’ll run in production, free for you to learn, prototype, and build on.
Exasol Personal is currently available on:
add macOS logo
Sovereign by default.
Whether you run on your own cloud account or fully local on your Mac, your data never leaves your control: the full engine, no cloud dependency, nothing sent anywhere.
Coming next: Windows local install (timing TBC) · Linux · StackIT cloud support.
