Arcion (formerly Blitzz) officially launches the only
cloud-native, zero-code data mobility platform to interconnect the $125 billion
cloud data ecosystem with transactional databases and cloud warehouses. Arcion
secured $13 million in Series A funding led by Bessemer Venture Partners,
with Bessemer Vice President
Sakib Dadi joining the Arcion board of directors. Strategic investor
Databricks also participated in the round.
Real-Time Data Mobilization Drives Critical Business
Breakthroughs
In a world where the cloud accelerates business growth
through scalable and resilient infrastructure, most enterprises find themselves
blocked by traditional databases that severely hinder their ability to derive
value from real-time data. Arcion changes this with its first-of-its-kind,
zero-code solution that enables enterprises to deploy high-performance,
high-volume data pipelines - in minutes instead of months.
"Built by
database experts, Arcion has solved a remarkably difficult problem that all
enterprises struggle with: moving large amounts of data in real time. As data
becomes generated and sprawled across applications, databases and cloud
destinations, all companies will look to fully utilize the data they own.
Arcion's technology will be an essential and valuable part for businesses
building analytics and operational models to remain competitive," said Dadi.
New CEO To Lead the Future of Real-Time Data
Along with the Arcion platform's public release, the company
recruited a new CEO, Gary Hagmueller, to drive its growth. Hagmueller is well
known as a proven leader,
with deep experience scaling companies in high-growth markets. He is considered
a product visionary in establishing new categories as reflected in the over
$7.5 billion in enterprise value generated by the companies he led.
"Over the
last 25 years of selling into enterprises, I've seen all my customers struggle
with a lack of access to real-time data. This lack of access always resulted in
apps that generated limited business value, brittle data pipes, broken
applications, and countless missed opportunities," said Hagmueller. "When I
came to understand what Arcion does, I was blown away. Arcion has developed a
unique, category-defining product that enables companies to extract
maximum value from their own data, instantaneously and without the need for an
army of data engineers. I can't wait to introduce Arcion to the broader market
so that companies modernizing their data architectures can experience just how
transformational this platform is."
Arcion already has hundreds of deployments across three
continents and is the leading data mobilization platform on the market today.
5x Faster Data Replication at Petabyte Scale
With a library of more than 20 pre-built data connectors,
enterprise-grade change data capture (CDC), and distributed cloud-native
architecture, Arcion is the only modern solution to mobilize data from
notoriously difficult transactional databases like Oracle, SAP and IBM, among
others. This enables enterprises to move data wherever and whenever they need
it so it can be easily accessed and utilized to drive transformation.
Additional features include patent pending "Read Once, Write
Multiple" technology for faster, low-impact data replication, zero data loss
architecture, fault tolerance, auto-scaling, and enterprise security features
such as data masking and at-rest/in-flight data encryption.
Arcion's early adopters include a long list of Fortune 500
companies that leverage its high-performance and high-volume real-time data
streaming capabilities to stream 150 terabytes of data every month. Customers
from different industries, such as financial services, consumer electronics,
security, telecommunication, food delivery, etc., use Arcion for everything
from up-to-the-minute inventory management, consolidating data from thousands
of heterogeneous database instances, to real-time fraud detection and AI/ML
workflows to help them gain meaningful competitive advantages.
