“They’re drowning in the amount of data, and so they just need a better database, a data infrastructure to deal with all the new data that’s coming in,” explained Praveen Kankariya, founder and CEO of Impetus Technologies, Inc.

During an interview with SiliconANGLE’s media hub theCUBE during Hadoop Summit 2015, Kankariya described the enterprise customers that come to Impetus seeking fast solutions to their Big Data problems.

Open source allows for cross-learning

Enterprise customers could consider open source as the solution to their problems. According to Anand Venugopal, Impetus’ head of real-time stream analytics platform StreamAnalytix, “People have become so friendly to open source, and they have been waiting to be liberated from the hold of proprietary vendors that they are positively biased toward open source-oriented technology.”

Discussing a recent use-case scenario, Kankariya said, “The guy was looking for his problem to be solved; he doesn’t care if it’s Hadoop or NoSQL or whatever.” This openness has allowed Impetus to become a trusted partner and advisor for customers that want to “cross-learn from across the ecosystem.”
