Granica is a B2B platform focused on reducing the cost, risk, and inefficiency of large-scale data used for analytics, machine learning, and generative AI, primarily in cloud data lakes and lakehouses.
Granica’s messaging centers on three product pillars:
- Granica Crunch: lakehouse-native compression optimization (especially Parquet) to reduce cloud storage and transfer costs while improving query performance. The vendor reports typical storage cost reductions and query speedups in benchmark and customer materials. Crunch is described as operating outside the read/write path (background optimization) and compatible with engines such as Spark and Trino.
- Granica Screen: sensitive data discovery and protection for lakehouse and GenAI workloads (prompts, retrieval-augmented generation, etc.), emphasizing high detection accuracy and cost-efficiency at scale, and the option to run components inside the customer cloud environment.
- Granica Signal: model-aware data selection and refinement (early access) intended to reduce training costs and improve model quality by selecting high-impact samples.
