Datometry Secures $17M In Funding To Accelerate Go-To-Market With Global Cloud Partners

WRVI Capital leads Series B with participation of existing investors including Dell Technologies Capital, Redline Capital, Acorn Pacific Ventures

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) - Datometry, Inc., the leader in data warehouse virtualization, today announced it has raised $17 million in Series B funding led by WRVI Capital with participation from previous investors, including Nepenthe, Dell Technologies Capital, Redline Capital, and Acorn Pacific.

Datometry will use this new investment to accelerate go-to-market activities with its partners, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud Platform as well as select systems integrators.

Global enterprises pushing to accelerate the move of their most valuable data to the cloud are challenged by lock-in from legacy data warehouse vendors. Existing business applications that have been developed and configured for legacy systems do not work with modern cloud data warehouses. Up until recently, enterprises had no choice but undergo a highly disruptive process of rewriting and reprogramming of their entire application ecosystem; a costly multi-year process that was associated with high risk.

Datometry liberates enterprises by neutralizing vendor lock-in from legacy systems. The Datometry Hyper-Q Platform lets existing applications run as-is, directly on a cloud data warehouse—without requiring any code changes. Existing applications become instantly interoperable with modern data technology. Datometry eliminates the need for time-consuming, costly, and risk-laden migration projects.

“Replacing a legacy data warehouse with a modern cloud data warehouse is one of the most rewarding, but also the toughest, challenges IT leaders are currently facing,” said Mike Waas, CEO, Datometry. “Our Hyper-Q platform redefines this transformation entirely: we give enterprises a software-based, simple, and reliable path. All at a fraction of the cost. We provide both, cloud vendors and enterprises, unique means to improve their competitive posture significantly.”

“At WRVI Capital, we look for innovative technology solutions that solve fundamental problems that enterprises are grappling with as they transition to Cloud. Datometry enables a very seamless way for enterprises to adopt latest cloud infrastructure capabilities with maximum functionality. We are thrilled to back the Datometry team whose vision and execution capability perfectly matches the market needs at the current time, “says Sriram Viswanathan, Founding Managing Partner, WRVI Capital.
“We continue to witness today’s modern enterprises struggle to execute a cloud-first strategy, specifically as it relates to migrating business critical applications to the cloud,” said Creighton Hicks, Partner, Dell Technologies Capital. “Datometry has enabled companies to embrace a more cost-effective approach to cloud migration by unlocking the barrier at the heart of any migration: the data warehouse. We’re excited to continue to back and invest in a company that can offer its partners a truly disruptive solution to such an increasingly evident problem.”

Datometry works with some of the most iconic brands in the Fortune 500 and Forbes Global 2000. Through its partnerships with Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, and Google Cloud Platform, as well as top-tier systems integrators, Datometry helps enterprises unlock the benefits of the cloud while laying the foundation for a comprehensive architecture for virtualized data management.
