Talena,
the always-on big data pioneer, enhances its award-winning big data
management platform with expanded cloud support and key security
features. The new platform broadens its support of Amazon Web Services
(AWS) to include capabilities such as Amazon S3 for highly-scalable
object storage, and extends its security capabilities including data
masking, encryption and authentication. The new features will help
companies utilizing Talena for backup, recovery and test data
management, store backup data in Amazon S3, run backup software in
Amazon AWS, and prevent personally identifiable information (PII) from
appearing in native forms in non-production environments. As a result,
companies can drive down the high costs associated with deploying big
data platforms, minimize compliance risk and increase business
flexibility.
The parallel rapid growth of big data and cloud-based
computing makes it increasingly important for companies to understand
how critical functions like backup and recovery work in this new
environment, and how to manage modern data assets securely within
today's enterprise settings.
"Our customers depend on Reltio's
modern data management Platform as a Service (PaaS) to deliver reliable
data, relevant insights and recommended actions that drive critical
functions across their business," said Zoltan Gombosi, VP Engineering,
Reltio. "Through Reltio data-driven applications business users access
and expect constant availability of this data. Talena's backup, recovery
and test data management solution is an ideal fit for our rapidly
growing DataStax Enterprise environment, and their recent security and
AWS S3 enhancements are critical for our customers, particularly in
highly regulatory environments."
"With nearly 70% of companies
experiencing a data loss in the last year, and with many of those
averaging close to $1 million per incident, companies understand that
compromised and lost data is not just a costly error, but puts the
company's reputation and market position at great risk," said Talena Founder and CEO,
Nitin Donde. "Our new security and storage enhancements mitigate these
risks by ensuring that a higher level of data protection is in place
from the start."

management market with a very broad range of enterprise security and
cloud-related capabilities, available immediately.
