McAfee protects what the world values—from personal photos and music to the confidential records of global enterprises. The threats are varied and dynamic; but our experience and innovation keeps McAfee customers one step ahead of trouble. Best of all, our products are unique in how they work together to make security affordable and manageable. In fact, system, network, and online risk is now so complex that you have to stay on top of it constantly—and efficiently. If you don’t, it can quickly overwhelm your resources and prevent you from doing what you need to do. McAfee helps large enterprises manage risk with a process approach and by integrating threat protection with compliance management. Mid-sized businesses manage risk by balancing what they take on themselves and what they choose to outsource to McAfee and our partners. And home users manage risk by outsourcing it—they want one product and automatic updates; they want it to be highly effective, but they don’t want to think about it. So they leave that to the experts. These days, the threats are tougher, and the perpetrators are trickier. But as we have for nearly 20 years, McAfee delivers superior protection that is trusted by millions of people worldwide.

A next generation database solutions company, QD Technology improves the value of analysts and business users to businesses by providing a new way to gain access to data on demand.  With QD Technology’s new Quick Response Database (QRD), analysts and business users will get their entire datamart on their desktop; access to more data anytime, anywhere, no server needed; and responses to their queries up to 10 times faster.  This patented technology was developed by Jack Olson, co-founder, chief tech advisor/architect of the company. 

The Quick Response Database (QRD) is a smart relational database solution that enables business executives, data analysts, and others to quickly, easily and conveniently obtain business or scientific insight by getting answers to ad hoc questions that they could never get before, without disrupting their company’s IT operations.

Benefits
1. On-Demand Access to Localized Data. Users can get responses to random queries on their desktop and laptop PCs at any time with minimal impact to IT operations – because the entire database can be accessed in compressed form even when the computer is not connected to the server.

2. Smart Compression Speeds Query Performance. QRD will compress databases down to 1/10th their size with query response performance about 10 times faster than traditional relational databases
