IT Europa is currently on the IT Press Tour of Israel, visiting vendors in the data storage and cloud data management space. We have already covered the channel opportunities now available at storONE and the big executive management changes at CTERA.
Here are updates on some other interesting companies on the Tour.
Treeverse
Treeverse provides lakeFS, an open source offering through a SaaS model that allows developers and engineers to more easily manage their data lakes.
“You can manage your data lakes like code in 20 minutes from first using lakeFS,” says the company.
The firm makes money from the support and services it offers around the product. At the moment, it is concentrating on getting the word out there as to what lakeFS can do, and is not currently focusing on training up resellers to sell it.
It does have a channel strategy though, and told the Tour that in about a year’s time it will have hired staff to target the channel and directly support new partners.
Equalum
Equalum allows users to replicate, process and transport data. At the moment it mainly sells its data engine direct, but it has plans to develop a channel.
It already has a small number of partners in some countries and recognises there are white label opportunities to sell its technology through other vendors and system integrators.
Most of its customers are currently large enterprises, but it now wants to target the mid-size company segment as more of these firms look to efficiently manage their growing data projects.
It is expected that Equalum’s offering will also appear on the Google and Amazon marketplace’s “in the next few weeks”, the Tour was told, as many users are “re-assured” with the “guarantees and support” that come with buying from such platforms.
UnifabriX
Next up on the Tour was Haifa-based UnifabriX, which bills itself as the “ultimate solution for scaling memory capacity and bandwidth”.
The company only came out of stealth mode at the back end of last year.
It sells both software and hardware in the data centre and high-performance computing (HPC) space, and is trying to become a key player in the Compute Express Link (CXL) ecosystem.
It already has an important relationship with Samsung, among others.
In the HPC space it mainly sells direct, which is common for most vendors, but going forward the company said it would be announcing partners to help with its go-to-market across market segments and industry verticals.
Definitely one to watch when its comes to its evolving software and hardware combination.
