Rather than all of your data being centralised into a “data lake”, Zertais lets you analyse your data, anywhere it’s stored, all at one, now supercharged by AI, solving real world problems, lowering costs, and cleverly incorporating Generative AI!
On the latest episode of Talking Tech with Alex Zaharov-Reutt, which is broadcast globally on the TNTRadio.live network, we speak with Zetaris CEO and Founder, Vinay Samuel on a range of topics related to data, AI, insights and more!
Please watch the video interview and read on!
Zetaris. Billed as the world’s fastest analytical engine, it lets you instantly join and access data silos virtually, across your whole data ecosystem, whilst ensuring data governance and security by removing the need to move data into data centres or other locations, letting you analyse and access it from its source.
That source could in the cloud, on-premise, or multiple devices or anywhere you have computing resources. You get a single, unified view of your data, and of course the last 14 months of the ongoing post November 2022 ChatGPT Gen AI chatbot revolution, things are more advanced than ever.
Please watch the interview with Vinay Samuel above, after which there is more info on Zetaris and a summary of the topics we spoke about, so please watch and read on!
You can watch every episode including the full hour-long episode this video interview featured in here, which then interviewed legendary Australian technology journalist, Chris Griffith, with the article on my interview with Chris here! (link coming shortly)
Ok, so back to Zetaris. Vinay Samuel has enjoyed a rich and deep history in the data analysis space across some of the world’s top tech companies. He realised in 2013 there was a better way to analyse data, disrupting silos, data lakes and more.
Not only could Zetaris technology dramatically speed up query times, and dramatically lower costs and TCO, it also promises exponentially rampws up ROI by being a system that is truly a next generation enterprise database and analytics platform.
By connecting to disparate data sources, Zetaris enables connection to existing data sources without moving, ingesting or duplicating data. This speeds up time-to-insight, eliminating data redundancy and creating a single, unified view of your data.
The company’s Networked Data Platform is an SQL-based analytical engine powered by your existing data infrastructure, connecting to all the disparate data sources, ingesting only metadata to create a virtual schema, reinforcing data security, and both optimising and accelerating query performance. It enables, rather than replaces, your existing infrastructure.
This means no need to “rip and replace,” allowing you to realise the full value of your existing IT investments, so legacy investments are preserved and leveraged – future-proofing your data architecture, gaining all the benefits of data lakes without any of the costs or complexity, while adding unthinkable new levels of flexibility. Even better is the ability to deploy Zetaris in minutes or hours – not months.
In the interview above, I started by introducing Vinay, and asked him to explain the Zetaris “elevator pitch” so get an understanding go why the technology is a big improvement over the ways companies traditional store and manage all of their valuable data.
- Next, I wanted to know what was the flash of insight that caused Vinay and his co-founder to realise there was a vastly simpler and better way of doing things what wouldn’t drain the swamp as it were in the US, but which could certainly “drain the lake”.
- Noting the long-awaited availability of Google’s Gemini Ultra at long last, beating OpenAI’s GPT-5 upgrade due in Q2 between April and June, as well as Elon Musk set to release Grok 1.5 soon, I asked Vinay how Zetaris and its customers were using AI and especially Generative AI, with Vinay explaining the new Generative Zetaris AI feature clever dubbed “Gen Z”.
- I then asked Vinay whether companies can use Zetaris tech to support data being free, rather than censored, or id it isn’t really something Zetaris focuses on, and Vinay gives a good answer!
- Next we discussed the other big tech trends that are shaping Zetaris and its customers, after I asked about Vinay starting Zetaris the way so many legendary companies started – in his garage, and his adulthood tech roles after arriving in Australia at the age of 7.
It was at this point that we had spoken so much together that we ran out of time, so we ended the segment and went to a break, after which we then spoke with multi-award winning and legendary Australian technology journalist and so much more, Chris Griffith, which you can watch here.
