# ParAccel vendor-specific interface · access · 2012

Revision 1 (11 October 2026) · Modeled snapshot · through 8 October 2026.

All figures are research-informed estimates of analytical activity. Significant errors may remain; decimal places do not imply measurement precision.

0.08% of the full access layer.

[ParAccel vendor-specific interface](https://history.columnar.tech/technologies/access/vendor-paraccel.md): historical names and annual shares.

A separate column-oriented analytical database, later named Actian Matrix. Redshift has its own box; shared ancestry does not count its workloads here. Also separate from Actian Ingres and Vector.

Connections below describe the whole ParAccel engine. Access and storage mixes are estimated separately; they are not a joint interface-to-storage distribution.
