Talena

CEO: Nitin Donde

Talena provides "always-on" big data management software to help companies protect valuable data assets and iterate rapidly on their business-critical applications. The company's technology provides backup and recovery, test and development management, and archiving capabilities across Hadoop, NoSQL data stores like Cassandra and Couchbase, and modern data warehouses like Hewlett Packard Enterprise Vertica.

In March Talena launched the ActiveRx predictive analytics infrastructure for big data management tasks. The software addresses the question of how to incorporate machine learning into predicting data availability and how to turn backed-up data into active data assets.
