To learn how enterprises like Ciena use Striim to break down silos and unify data in Snowflake, visit us at booth 1741 at the Snowflake Summit in Las Vegas from June 26-29 

LAS VEGAS, Nevada, June 27, 2023 – Today, Striim, Inc. announced at Snowflake’s annual user conference, Snowflake Summit 2023, cutting-edge performance for its streaming engine to unify data in Snowflake as both a fully managed service and a distributed self-hosted offering. In an internal benchmark, running on an Amazon EC2 M6i.2xlarge instance with 8 vCPUs and 32G RAM, Striim was successfully able to scale to terabytes/day of operational data moving to Snowflake with latency in seconds. Striim uniquely combines low latency change data capture from mission-critical databases – such as Oracle, SQLServer, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and others – with a scalable streaming SQL engine to process and deliver data to Snowflake in real-time leveraging Snowpipe Streaming.  Striim was an early Beta partner working with the Snowflake product teams to implement Snowpipe Streaming. The new streaming interface is enabled using a simple drag-and-drop SnowflakeWriter in Striim’s UI, with a built-in OOTB Router component to scale across thousands of schemas. 

Cutting-edge enterprises like Ciena, a global leader in networking systems, software, and services, leverage Striim to accelerate its digital transformation efforts on Snowflake by moving data across disparate systems to Snowflake in real time. 

Ciena will be joining Striim Co-founder and Executive Vice President of Engineering and Products, Alok Pareek, at the Snowflake Summit in Las Vegas from June 26th-29th to discuss their success.

“We chose Striim to stream real-time events from our multiple internal systems. We are pleased with our decision as it has proven to support the scale and volume of data we operate. Striim’s capabilities have been crucial in managing our data effectively,” says Sudeep Kumar, Global Head of Enterprise Data & Analytics at Ciena. 

The combined speed of Striim’s data ingestion and Snowflake’s analytical capabilities gives Ciena a clear and distinct competitive advantage. Ciena estimates that Striim moves up to 100 million events in real time to Snowflake every 24 hours, across systems that manage sales, manufacturing, accounting, and dozens of other crucial business functions.

The smart data pipeline automatically creates schemas on Snowflake and coordinates both batch historical loads and streaming CDC workloads while providing ongoing observability of pipelines to maintain fast data delivery SLAs within the enterprise.

“With Striim’s data streaming capabilities, our joint customers benefit by unifying data in Snowflake to build a real-time source of truth at a massive scale,” said Tarik Dwiek, Head of Technology Alliances at Snowflake. “Using Striim for Snowflake, customers have access to an innovative UX and full automation to start streaming data into Snowflake with a matter of clicks.” 

“Enterprises can no longer be market leaders with batch-based integration. Real-time data provides the competitive edge in customer care and operational efficiency so that businesses can make the right decisions at the right time,” said Alok Pareek, Co-founder and Executive Vice President of Engineering and Products at Striim. “Our customers are increasingly using the Snowflake Data Cloud for their data analytics needs. We have designed Striim for Snowflake for high-performance, lower-cost operational ease, simplicity, scalability, and resiliency so our customers can quickly and easily extract business value from their data.”

Varun Verma ex-GM Amazon Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka joins Striim as VP Cloud Software Development, while Jason Selvidge (formerly at Salesforce) brings years of experience as Striim’s VP of Software Development

PALO ALTO, Calif. Oct. 3, 2022 – Striim, Inc., a global leader in unified real-time data integration and streaming, today announced it has added two cloud industry veterans to its world-class product team. Varun Verma has been added as vice president, Software Development, Cloud. In this role, Varun will lead the development of all global cloud services. In addition, Jason Selvidge has joined Striim as vice president, Software Development. Both new development heads will report to Alok Pareek, Striim’s co-founder and EVP, Product.

“I am thrilled to have top engineering executives with Varun’s and Jason’s track records of innovation join our incredible engineering team,” said Alok Pareek. “Varun is a methodical, results-oriented engineering leader with tremendous experience in delivering fundamental software technology as cloud-based solutions. Jason has spent years building the industry’s most advanced software solutions. Together, their experience will be a big part of Striim’s focus and evolution in delivering and managing cloud-based products on a global basis.“

Prior to joining Striim, Varun was at AWS for nine years, with his most recent role being the General Manager (GM) of the Managed Streaming for Apache Kafka (MSK) service. Varun was the founding Engineering leader for MSK where he built and scaled the service before taking on the General Manager role. During his tenure at AWS, he also worked on three other services, Kinesis Data Firehose, Elastic Block Store, and Amazon WorkSpaces, leading various engineering teams for those services.

“I’ve been at the front lines of the cloud data market for years now, and no one has ‘cracked the code’ quite like Striim has done,” said Mr. Verma. “The company’s real time vision combined with a top-tier executive team made joining Striim an easy decision.” 

Jason is a results-oriented and passionate executive with deep expertise in delivering creative solutions to complex software engineering problems. Jason led development teams at Salesforce for more than six years, where he built a new multi-tenant UI Platform used by 3 million end users and the external developer ecosystem. Prior to that, he worked at Oracle, IBM, and two other startups. In this new role at Striim, Jason will drive standards-based product development and deliver innovative operational improvements to optimize company revenue and profitability. 

“Real-time streaming data is a critical component for any organization’s analytics and data science efforts. Right now, Striim is the only option for enterprises globally,” said Mr. Selvidge. “I can’t wait to work with this team to take the industry to the next level.”

Striim Showcasing Striim Cloud at Stand #738 at Big Data LDN September 21 and 22

BIG DATA LDN, London, September 21, 2022 – Striim, a global leader in unified real-time data streaming and integration, today announced at the Big Data LDN conference and expo that it has expanded its worldwide reach and is making its fully managed data streaming service Striim Cloud available to the United Kingdom and Europe. This is the first time enterprise customers in these regions will have access to a zero-maintenance, infinitely scalable platform that enables them to easily build real-time data pipelines to stream trillions of events every day, backed by enterprise-grade operational, security, and management that’s also SOC 2 and GDPR compliant. Striim Cloud supports 100’s of popular sources and targets such as Salesforce, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MS SQL, Google BigQuery, Microsoft Azure Synapse, Snowflake, and Databricks.

“Real-time data and its insights are now a ‘must have’ for global enterprises, and organizations are rapidly modernizing their data architectures to enable real-time analytics and insights. Europe has significant data governance challenges, so building data products from many data sources is especially challenging,” said Alok Pareek, Striim’s co-founder and EVP, product. “Using a fully-managed solution such as Striim Cloud on Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud enables our EU-based customers to quickly and easily build highly available, scalable data products that conform to the specific needs and legal requirements of the region and gain a competitive edge.

Recent shifts in the global economy have forced companies to speed up their transformation and data modernization projects so they can be more agile and responsive to their customers and suppliers. This has brought an increased focus on customer experience, supply chain, and operations across all industries (finance, retail, manufacturing, logistics/supply chain, healthcare). Technical architects and CIOs are tasked with making data accessible, self-service, and actionable across their organizations via enterprise streaming data patterns, such as data mesh. 

Legacy ETL solutions were not designed for these new modern, agile business needs. The common “batch” model of data integration cannot support real-time use cases related to a modern customer experience that requires business intelligence, up-to-the-second decision-making, and real-time operations. Streaming data and real-time analytics, by comparison, inform customer strategies and tactics across the entire organization.

Striim Cloud delivers these capabilities for the enterprise in a managed service that eliminates the complexity of building low-latency streaming data pipelines at scale. Instead of spending weeks implementing this new infrastructure, global enterprises can now integrate data from disparate sources in just a few clicks. 

Striim Cloud is a GDPR-compliant service that offers a suite of capabilities to help customers comply with the management of access rights under the GDPR. 

• Privacy & Security – Striim Cloud offers a suite of capabilities to help customers comply with the management of access rights under the GDPR. Users can manage and control their users’ access using RBAC (Role-Based Access Control)
• International data transfers – Striim Cloud complies with international or third country data transfer agreements as per GDPR
• Processes – Striim Cloud implements various internal processes to meet the GDPR obligations as it relates to data subject, such as access, rectification, erasure, portability, etc.

Striim is showcasing its Striim Cloud managed service at stand #738 at the Big Data LDN conference and expo in London on September 21 and 22. Interested parties are welcome to visit or can arrange an appointment here – striim.com/big-data-london-2022. In addition, Striim’s executives, including co-founder and EVP, product, Alok Pareek, and John Kutay, Director of Product, will be sharing their insights on data mesh streaming patterns and the latest trends in data, including data products, data mesh, and data lake houses during their sessions at Big Data LDN. More information can be found here and here. Alternatively, CIOs, CDOs, and data engineers not attending the conference can find out more here https://www.striim.com/striim-cloud.

We are excited to partner with Striim, providing our customers access to a fully-managed cloud service to seamlessly connect data from databases, applications, and disparate clouds to Databricks in real-time.”

Striim’s platform and its security practices were successfully audited

PALO ALTO, Calif., September 8, 2022 – Striim,  a global leader in unified real-time data integration and streaming, today announced it completed the SOC 2 Type II Service Organization Control audit for its platform, data security processes, and controls. As a result, the company’s customers and users are assured that they can trust Striim to provide a secure and reliable element of their critical data architecture. This audit is designed to test Striim’s adherence to the strictest security policies and the operational effectiveness of the specified controls over time.

“Our unified real-time data streaming and integration platforms, Striim Cloud and Striim Platform, continuously ingest, process, and deliver high volumes of data for enterprise analytics and operations. This data often contains sensitive customer, financial, and business information, so our customers need to be able to trust Striim, and its software, for security, availability, and confidentiality,” said Steve Wilkes, Striim’s co-founder, and CTO. “With this certification, customers have peace of mind as they embark on digital transformation initiatives.” 

The SOC 2 Type II certification confirms that Striim Platform and Striim Cloud (fully managed SaaS available on Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud) both meet or exceed the most stringent security measures that align with worldwide industry standards and best practices, as set by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). SOC 2 Type II assesses and certifies the design of security processes and controls conducted by the organization and guarantees the implementation of internal controls for security over a significant amount of time. The requirements and security measures are constantly monitored, evaluated, and updated to reflect changing needs and offer the safest environment for conducting business. 

SOC 2 Type II is much more than a simple certification. Businesses must conduct annual audits to ensure ongoing certification, which requires ongoing diligence from the organization’s technology and product staff. Interested parties can learn more about this process and Striim’s journey to certification here.
