Alluxio develops a virtual distributed file system that began as the Tachyon research project at the University of California, Berkeley’s AMPLab. The technology provides hybrid cloud data orchestration – bringing data closer to compute systems – to improve data accessibility and speed up analytical and machine learning applications.
In March the San Mateo, Calif-based company unveiled the Alluxio Structured Data Service with data catalog and data transformation capabilities that provides just-in-time data transformation for compute-intensive applications.
