Fastest, Most Secure
Databases.
QuinineHM - the first hardware manager ever. Pure bare-metal performance, uncompromising security. TonicDB, the fastest in-memory database, is the first database built on this foundation.
Whitelist alpha has ended. We are funded and working on new products.
A New Category in Computing
QuinineHM is not an operating system. It is something entirely new: the world's first Hardware Manager. Where operating systems were designed for general-purpose computers - desktops, laptops, smartphones - QuinineHM was built exclusively for servers running critical workloads like databases.
By removing decades of unnecessary abstractions, QuinineHM exposes raw, bare-metal performance directly to the applications that run on top of it.
Traditional OS vs Hardware Manager
Operating System:
General purpose, bloated, slow
Hardware Manager:
Purpose-built, minimal, blazing fast
What is a Hardware Manager?
A Hardware Manager is a minimal layer of software that only has one purpose:
What Hardware Manager Does
Manages CPUs, timers, drivers, etc.
Provide high-performance networking stack
What Hardware Manager Doesn't Do
Nothing more. Nothing less.
Just the hardware, managed at its fastest and most secure potential.
How QuinineHM Differs from a Traditional OS
When you run software on a traditional operating system, the OS has no idea what application it is serving. System calls and libc functions are treated the same whether you're running a web browser or a high-performance database. This lack of context means the OS cannot be optimized for your workload.
For security reasons, the OS doesn't "trust" applications - it isolates them and enforces abstraction layers, adding latency and overhead.
QuinineHM is different. It doesn't try to be a general-purpose environment. It manages the hardware and then integrates directly with the application running on top of it. No abstraction layers. No wasted cycles. The software can optimize every aspect of execution - in ways impossible with a traditional OS.
TonicDB: Proof of Concept
up to 20x
Faster Than Redis
up to 9x
Cheaper Than Redis
TonicDB is our MVP - a Redis-compatible in-memory database proving that QuinineHM technology works. We're building more data infrastructure products on this foundation.
