Komprise: Changing the Way the World Manages Data

Komprise founders started the company to address a gap in innovation for managing massively growing volumes of unstructured data which was creating complexity and stretching IT budgets from the endless need to buy more storage. According to industry analysts, the world will store 200 zettabytes of data by 2025.

In talking to IT leaders, the founders learned that they didn’t want a solution that would control access to their data and create vendor lock-in. With their combined background in distributed fault-tolerant computing, Kumar Goswami, Krishna Subramanian and Mike Peercy embarked on a journey in 2014 to build an unstructured data management and mobility SaaS platform that was storage agnostic and could look across all data storage technologies, sit to the side and not in front of hot data, and deliver powerful analytics to help enterprise IT teams right-place unstructured data for maximum cost savings. Importantly, they strove to develop a solution that would not disrupt user access: a significant pain point of moving data to the cloud. A patent in Transparent Move Technology (TMT) followed, and today Komprise is helping customers efficiently tag and move distinct data sets to the cloud for archival storage with a Global File Index and with Smart Data Workflows to feed cloud-native machine learning and AI services as well as modern data lakes.

Komprise Intelligent Data Management is one platform to analyze, move and manage unstructured data. We work with large enterprises in data-heavy industries — including life sciences, healthcare, financial services, higher education, public sector, legal services, and media and entertainment — so they can optimize storage and backup costs while gaining greater value from file and object data.
