News Flashes
Arcion, a provider of a cloud-native, CDC-based data replication platform, is launching its latest product release to further extend their platform's capability to cater towards ease of use and increased performance for data migration and access. The launch continues to address the issue of data trapped in transactional data silos, like Oracle, as well as migration of that data into a variety of cloud data warehouses. The product's release comes after four years of development, adding dramatic depth to their products that help differentiate their service from anyone else on the market, according to the vendor.
Cloudera, a hybrid data organization, is debuting its Cloudera Data Platform (CDP) One, an all-in-one data lakehouse SaaS, promising accelerated and accessible self-service analytics and exploratory data science on any data type. According to the company, CDP One delivers enterprise security and machine learning (ML) without requiring staff, resulting in lower TCO and reduced risk. CDP One is for customers who desire a low-code, self-service solution in conjunction with CDP One, which was not previously offered.
As machine learning (ML) becomes the norm of the data industry, it's clear that its potential is limited within current data structures. Tabular data strategies have decreased in efficiency, as they lack the ability to acknowledge relationships interconnecting various data points. Data models create complexities as they become scaled by data scientists, constructed by different code languages for different data pipelines, yielding low productivity and high development times. Leaders in ML and data consumption look towards improving data science strategies to widely increase data value and data model efficiency.
Pliops, a provider of data processors for cloud and enterprise data centers, announced it has closed a $100 million Series D funding round, enabling the company to address the broad market opportunity for the Pliops Extreme Data Processor (XDP). This latest investment brings the total investment in the company to more than $200 million since its founding in 2017. This round was led by Koch Disruptive Technologies (KDT)—with SK hynix, Lip-Bu Tan, Chairman of Walden International, and State of Mind Ventures Momentum, in addition to previous investors also participating in the round.
