Rick Whiting

Businesses are looking to next-generation databases, data management tools and big data analytics software to help them leverage huge volumes of data to gain a competitive edge. Here’s a look at 10 hot big data technology startups developing leading-edge technologies that help solution providers and customers meet their big data challenges.

Grafana Labs

Top Executive: Raj Dutt, Co-Founder, CEO

Grafana Labs develops the popular Grafana open-source data visualization and analytics platform for building data dashboards and visualizations for metric, log and trace data generated by IT infrastructure, networks, cybersecurity tools and other systems. The analytics and visualizations are used by IT and AppDev managers to monitor IT system performance and track users and events.

The company also provides commercial enterprise and cloud service editions of Grafana with additional functionality, plug-in software, training, and professional and support services.

In November Grafana Labs struck a strategic partnership with Microsoft to develop a Grafana managed service that runs on the Azure cloud platform. The deal is similar to a partnership the startup has with Amazon Web Services.

Grafana Labs, founded in 2014 and based in New York City, raised $220 million in a Series C round of funding in August that put the startup’s valuation at $3 billion.
