JethroData Raises $4.5M For New Analytics Database That Addresses Hadoop’s Achilles Heel

Funding Rounds

▤ Summary

JethroData, an analytics database company based on Hadoop, announced today it has closed a $4.5 million investment round led by Pitango Venture Capital. JethroData, based in Israel, combines the storage scalability of Hadoop with the query performance of a fully indexed, columnar analytic database. Founder Eli Singer said in an email interview that its differentiation comes with simplifying and enhancing the often complex process of storing data in Hadoop and then extracting it for analysis. Cloudera is releasing Impala, which replaced MapReduce with a faster full-scan system based on Google Dremel, the successor to the search company’s pioneering work in big data analytics. Analytic database and data warehouse companies that compete with JethroData include HP Vertica, EMC Greenplum, IBM Netezza, Teradata Aster and InfoBright.
