Talena Reinvents Traditional Data Management With BigData Availability Management Solution | Reuters

Solution Protects Critical Data Assets Across Next Generation Platforms From NoSQL to Hadoop toModern Data Warehouses

MILPITAS, CA--(Marketwired - August 11, 2015) - Talena, a pioneer in Big Data AvailabilityManagement, today announced the immediate availability of the Talena Big Data AvailabilityManagement solution, a new software architecture that optimizes data management processes toalleviate today's Big Data challenges. The company also announced that it has securedhref="http://talena-inc.com/blog" rel="nofollow"2 million in financing.

With annual growth rates exceeding 40%, Big Data Data Management technologies such asCassandra, MongoDB, Spark, Impala, and HP Vertica, have given rise to new types of applicationsacross all industries. However, the unique deployment models of these data platforms make itimpossible for traditional data management solutions to support the modern application lifecycle. Asa result, mission-critical processes like application recovery and test/dev management are rapidlyincreasing IT costs and absorbing valuable technical resources.

The first to focus on Big Data workloads, the Talena solution was developed to address afundamentally different set of requirements for data availability management including:

Petabyte-scale architecture. Scale elastically and horizontally to run data workloads that are 100xthe size of traditional environmentsManageability In a distributed environment. Support thousandsof distributed nodes via an agentless architecture Storage optimization across diverse data.Implement storage reduction techniques that are optimized for unique data formatsSupport for data-aware workflows. Expand beyond traditional file-based approaches to include data-awareprocessesCompute and storage pools on any commodity environment. Run on any referencearchitecture based on commodity hardware and storage

The Talena solution delivers an entirely new architecture that overcomes the limitations inherent intraditional data management operations. Via the Talena software environment, companies canimplement multiple workflows including test/dev management, backup and recovery, archiving, anddisaster recovery.

"Our data assets are fundamental to our business operations," said Abhijit Pol, Head of Data Systemsat Rocketfuel. "Talena's new approach to data availability management greatly reduces the riskassociated with data loss and corruption, while simultaneously providing us with resource savingsacross our rapidly growing infrastructure."

"As Big Data applications grow in size and scope, companies need to rethink the data managementarchitecture required to support their SLA goals," said Talena Founder and CEO Nitin Donde."Today, companies often write one-off scripts to create backup copies or to move data to test/devsandboxes or for archival purposes. This approach isn't scalable and makes it difficult to recoverdata as needed, and results in increased capital and operational burdens."

"Talena plays a critical role for us as we expand our exchange operations," said Kersi Tavadia, CIO,Bombay Stock Exchange. "When we moved to a Big Data architecture, we knew that application anddata backup and recovery was a fundamental requirement. Where most conventional methods wouldfall short, Talena provides that at scale."
