Alkira and RestorePoint.AI announced a strategic partnership at the Gartner Data & Analytics Summit in
Orlando, FL, to deliver a cloud-based data management service running on a
private, secure network aimed at mid-market enterprises. The joint offering
improves time to value and total cost of ownership for companies that lack the
resources to build their own analytics and Generative AI (GenAI) integrations,
so they can better compete in today's data-driven economy.
For
mid-size companies extracting business value from siloed data assets requires
that they unify and categorize disparate data sources both on-premises and in
the cloud, while enforcing data security and privacy policies to prevent
breaches and avoid regulatory compliance violations. The joint Alkira and RestorePoint.AI
solution enables customers to address these challenges by offering a turn-key
data management service running on a secure multi-cloud networking platform
that supports granular access controls and micro segmentation.
"This
partnership between Alkira and RestorePoint.AI represents a forward-thinking
approach to addressing the data management needs of AI-driven businesses," said
Shamus McGillicuddy, Vice President of Research, Enterprise Management
Associates. "By combining their unique strengths in multi-cloud networking and
data management, they are setting a precedent for how all businesses can
harness the power of AI while ensuring data security and regulatory compliance
in a rapidly evolving landscape. Together, both companies are paving the way
for a more secure and responsible future powered by AI."
The
Alkira-RestorePoint.AI solution enables joint customers to take advantage of
new analytics and AI driven technologies and extract business intelligence from
their data regardless of where it resides, while meeting security and
governance requirements. It is ideally suited for organizations with large
volumes of data requiring regular synchronization and that must comply with
data privacy mandates and/or operate in highly regulated industries including
financial services, healthcare and pharmaceuticals.
"Enforcing data security
and privacy controls over distributed analytics and AI applications deployed in
hybrid cloud and multi-cloud environments poses significant challenges for
mid-market organizations with limited resources and expertise," said Abdul
Altamimi, CTO at RestorePoint.AI. "This partnership with Alkira allows us to
provide our customers with the policy-based access control and micro
segmentation capabilities to securely scale their businesses in the cloud."
"Alkira and RestorePoint.AI share a lot in common and we both have an
acute understanding of the modern enterprise and the flexibility that's
required from a cloud infrastructure standpoint," said Amir Khan, CEO at
Alkira. "Today, organizations that are able to leverage and operationalize
their data quickly, securely, and compliantly are creating a gap in the market
that typically favors larger enterprises. Our partnership with RestorePoint.AI
is leveling the playing field and helping more enterprises take on new and
exciting challenges that have the potential to transform their industries."
