Top Executive: President and CEO Ali Kutay

Striim is one of several companies on this year's Big Data 100 list that's addressing the challenge of working with streaming data. The company develops software that combines streaming data integration and streaming operational intelligence in one system, making continuous query/processing and streaming analytics possible.

In April Striim launched version 3.7 of its software with a focus on facilitating real-time, hybrid cloud integration and simplifying the management of applications running on streaming data.

Striim (pronounced "stream" with the "I"s standing for integration and intelligence) is based in Palo Alto, Calif., and was founded in 2012 by former executives from Oracle, Informatica, WebLogic and other big name data management companies.
