Alluxio
Top Executive: Founder, CEO Haoyuan Li
Alluxio’s Data Orchestration Platform manages large-scale, distributed data workloads by linking data-driven applications, such as machine learning and business analytics software, with data sources such as Hadoop-based data lakes, Amazon S3 and Google Cloud Storage that are increasingly dispersed across hybrid and multi-cloud IT environments.
The company’s software is a virtual distributed file system that makes all data appear local no matter where it’s stored.
Alluxio, based in San Mateo, Calif., raised $50 million in a Series C round of funding in November.
