MarkLogic is an American software business that makes a NoSQL database. The company has its headquarters in Silicon Valley with field offices in Washington D.C., New York, London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, and Utrecht.

History
The company was founded in 2001 by Christopher Lindblad, who was the Chief Architect of the Ultraseek search engine at Infoseek, and Paul Pedersen, a professor of computer science at Cornell University and UCLA, to address the emergence of XML as a document markup standard and XQuery as the standard means for accessing collections of XML documents up to hundreds of terabytes in size.

In May 2012 Gary Bloom joined Mark Logic as Chief Executive Officer. Prior to joining Veritas Software as CEO in 2000, Bloom held serveral senior positions at Oracle and was widely considered the successor to Larry Ellison.

MarkLogic is privately held with investments from Sequoia Capital, Tenaya Capital and Northgate Capital.

In 2012, MarkLogic was the vendor with the largest revenue for Hadoop/NoSQL Software or Services, with 13% of total marketshare.

Technology
MarkLogic is a document NoSQL database that has evolved its XML database roots to embrace the "enterprise NoSQL" label. In addition to the distributed, scale-out architecture expected from a NoSQL database, it has a mature feature set, including role-based security features, with JSON storage, direct use of Apache Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS), multiple indexing strategies and ACID consistency. It is the most popular native XML DBMS as of April 2013. The product combines a database, search engine and application services together in one platform.

As compared with other NoSQL document databases, MarkLogic is unique in that it includes replication, rollback, automated failover, point-in-time recovery, backup/restore, backup to Amazon S3, JSON, can run directly on Hadoop Distributed File System, parallelized ingest, role-based security, full text search, location services, geospatial alerting, RDF triple store and SPARQL query support.

MarkMail
MarkMail, which makes heavy use of MarkLogic Server, is a free public mailing list archive service that emphasizes interactivity and search analytics. Every search result shows a histogram traffic chart of the messages matching the query, and also the top matching lists and senders.

MarkMail started in November 2007 with approximately four million email messages. As of 24 November 2013, the service claims inclusion of 66,058,071 messages across 8,761 lists, of which 2,975 were active lists.
