Powering tomorrow’s enterprise software
Through a revolutionary data representation model, an ultra-fast in-memory database, and groundbreaking operating system, Starcounter is the first fully AI-enabled platform.
The result? Lightning-fast development with unparalleled accuracy.
Cost
Significant cost reduction.
Starcounter’s platform streamlines today’s increasingly complex software landscape with a simplified stack that eliminates connectivity layers and accelerates development, avoiding the scaling challenges of traditional solutions.
This approach drastically reduces total cost of ownership (TCO): a single commodity server can replace an entire fleet, a small room can replace a vast hall, and a few developers can replace an entire team. Hardware, software licenses, and energy costs shrink dramatically.

Performance
Unrivalled performance
The foundation of Starcounter is the patented Virtual Machine Database Management System, VMDBMS that keeps data in one place instead of moving it between application and database.
This revolutionary solution integrates the execution logic into RAM with the database, allowing data to be immobilized. With Starcounter, bottlenecks like messaging between the database and app server, inter-process communication and data redundancy are eliminated.
Real-world benchmarks confirm extremely high transaction rates compared to all other commercial platforms.

Development
Simplified development
Starcounter’s simplified stack (see illustration below) solves several complexity issues with today’s enterprise software development. Stacks have simply grown too complex, voluminous and fragmented.
Unlike competing platforms, where you need unconventional query and programming languages along with defensively complex software design concepts to leverage underlying technology, Starcounter uses established languages (such as standard SQL) and frameworks (such as regular .NET and .NET Core).
This approach lowers the entry barrier for programmers and enables a faster, more cost effective building of software. It also results in an improved time-to-market with kept levels of performance.

About
Founded in 2006 by Joachim Wester, Starcounter set out to revolutionize enterprise software with its in-memory database technology. Early milestones include the first commercial deployment in 2009 (version 0.9) and the launch of a stable platform in 2012 (version 1.0).
The game-changing 2013 release of version 2.0 combined a web application server and database, forming the backbone of today’s platform. Customers like Heads, Modular Management and AdFenix adopted the technology, driving real-world validation and rapid innovation.
Recognized by Gartner, Forrester, IDC and Horizon 2020 for its groundbreaking advancements, Starcounter launched version 3.0 in 2020. With the fourth-generation platform around the corner, Starcounter is set to redefine enterprise software.
The team
Joachim leads a diverse R&D team of 9 experts, specializing in AI, in-memory computing, and enterprise software, with over 200 years of combined experience.
