Hi L.A. Tech and VC Community Voltron Data is hosting our final Executive Roundtable for #BlackBusinesMonth on this Friday 5:30-8:30 PST in historic West Adams - Los Angeles. I am extremely grateful for the time I spent in L.A. at Experian and University of Southern California. To return to the city that nurtured my entrepreneurial and venture capital dreams means a lot. To do so with the most important Black and Latinx led startup of our generation is everything! Come hear the founder journeys of Joshua Patterson and Rodrigo Aramburu. Ask questions and learn how we are accelerating some of the largest big data challenges within the federal government and banks. Theseus is our distributed execution engine, built for large scale data processing 70X faster and 70X cheaper than CPU-based systems like Spark. Theseus is a GPU query engine for petabyte-scale ETL, SQL, and dataframe workloads. Our products are optimized for 100TB+ queries running on clusters of distributed NVIDIA GPU systems. RSVP here for location: https://lu.ma/keeanl6q Guests: - Marc Hannah, PhD, Voltron Data Silicon Strategy and Co-founder SGI (Silicon Graphic, Inc.) - Tori Watley, MBA, 2x Co-Founder, Tech Investor, and Strategy and Operations Executive - Joey Hill, MBA, MIS, Voltron Data Business Development and Founder Hill + Co.

#Cybersecurity has a big data problem. With attacks becoming ever cheaper and more frequent, defenders are struggling to innovate because all their budget goes to keeping the lights on. Today's cybersecurity systems do not offer the real performance and efficiencies they need unless augmented with modern composable accelerated tooling. Cybersecurity teams need solutions built on #composable, #openstandards so they can achieve scale and speed without compromise. Today, Voltron Data is introducing a Cybersecurity Advisory Board to bring this vision to the industry. I’m honored for these individuals who have made substantial, innovative contributions to cybersecurity, in both the public and private sectors, to join us! Read the news post I wrote for more details: https://lnkd.in/e5UnY3vW If you work in #cyber and want to learn more, reach out! Thank you again Lisa O'Connor, Gunter Ollmann, Tom Schodorf, Charles Henderson, Julian Waits, Chris Schueler, and Gary Pelczar!

Ibis is on the front page of Hacker News for dropping its support for the pandas backend. https://lnkd.in/gcX28Fnf Key reasons: 1. Pandas is painfully slow. 2. Pandas has a lot of specialized code that makes it less compatible with other data systems. 3. Feature parity: everything you can do in pandas can be done much faster and easier in other backends, such as DuckDB. Great writeup Gilbert Forsyth!

Excited to share my blog post on #IbisML (https://lnkd.in/gzgR6962), a scalable ML pipeline library built on Ibis. I tackle the Credit Risk Model Stability Kaggle competition, demonstrating how IbisML accelerates data loading, feature engineering, and last-mile transformations with DuckDB. Easily switch backends with just two lines of code! It seamlessly handles preprocessed data for models like @xgboost and PyTorch. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gJRyvKeR. #MachineLearning #Ibis #IbisML #DuckDB #FeatureEngineering #Kaggle

Organizations are really starting to feel the need for traditional data systems to evolve for many reasons – scale of data, lack of data connectivity, the need to take advantage of accelerated hardware, the list goes on (and on). If you feel the pain - or are interested in solving systems problems - we encourage you to read the latest research report from SiliconANGLE & theCUBE’s Rob Strechay and George Gilbert, featuring insights from Voltron Data's CEO Joshua Patterson and Field CTO Rodrigo Aramburu: “Expanding on Execution Engines and Composable Data Platforms”. This analysis covers: 👉 The important role of execution engines in modern data systems. It goes into detail about our engine, Theseus, which utilizes GPUs to dramatically increase performance and reduce energy usage. 👉 What you need to know about composable data systems and open standards. This is the kind of flexibility organizations need in the future; it is crucial to meet the rapidly changing requirements of big data and AI.

Evolving customer needs, energy problems, and the (massive) scale of data that enterprises need to work with today are putting pressure on traditional data platforms to evolve. Building composable has never been more appealing….and that is exactly what Voltron Data's CEO, Joshua Patterson, and Field CTO Rodrigo Aramburu go all in on this on SiliconANGLE & theCUBE's AnalystANGLE! 🔥🔥🔥 In this interview with Rob Strechay, Josh and Rodrigo cover how we’re accelerating analytics on GPUs with our query engine, Theseus – in more detail than you'll find elsewhere. Tune in learn about Theseus and how we’re focused on helping companies achieve remarkable energy savings on their largest analytics workloads. And, of course, how we’re doing it with composability. 🔗Check it out: https://lnkd.in/gdzPzBvD #ComposableDataSystems #SustainableTech #OpenStandards #Composability #OpenSource #GPUs #DataAnalytics
Exploring Voltron Data’s ability to reduce data center footprint 👣 In this episode of AnalystANGLE, theCUBE Research principal analyst Rob Strechay digs into Voltron Data’s exceptional energy-saving approach with Joshua Patterson, the CEO. “GPUs are these very power hungry things that consume a lot of energy. With Theseus, we can do analytics with a fraction of the power. With our current architecture using A100s, large scale data analytics consume about 80% less power — a 20th of the power, a fifth the energy. We're working on pushing that to 95% power reduction; only 5% of the energy used,” Patterson shares. “With modular, interoperable, composable, extensible systems, MICE for short, as we like to say, using GPUs gets easier. If I can just plug in Theseus without people changing their APIs and data formats, they can benefit from all this acceleration. They can get faster performance, use fewer servers, and shrink down their data center footprint. They can transfer that saved energy from big data to doing AI,” he adds. 📺 Watch the full interview: https://lnkd.in/gdzPzBvD #theCUBE #CTOinsights
