Zetaris appoints Kent Graziano as its chief technology advisor

Data virtualisation company Zetaris has appointed Kent Graziano as its chief technology advisor.

Graziano decided to come out of semi-retirement to join Zetaris, a fast growth Australian global success story, because he recognises the need for closer integration between the cloud and existing data centre solutions to enable real-time analytics.

This is the first time Graziano will work for an Australian company and previously he served as Snowflake’s chief technical evangelist.

Graziano said he sees a tremendous market opportunity with Zetaris to help enterprise data warehouse, BI and advanced analytics customers, with on-prem and legacy systems migrate to new cloud-based data platform solutions (such as Snowflake). 

“What’s exciting is the possibilities presented by real-time analytics,” said Graziano.

“Zetaris has an innovative platform that enables data-driven organisations to get immediate insight and value without transferring all their data immediately to the cloud. I’m delighted to be asked to advise Zetaris and help the company achieve new levels of success.”

Vinay Samual, CEO and founder of Zetaris said we are fortunate to have Granziano onboard as our chief technical advisor.

He said, “His extensive understanding of the data warehouse market will be invaluable in guiding the global evolution of our Networked Data Platform. His insight will be indispensable as we craft our product roadmap and expand our go-to-market strategy.”

Graziano’s expertise is expected to be especially valuable in rolling out Zetaris’s technology in the US big data market, Zetaris said.

According to Market Research Future (MRFR), the big data market is expected to reach $297.28 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate of 14.52 percent.
