Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Mountain View, California,
Voltron Data’s core solution—Theseus —is a SQL query engine that
can enable enterprises to process petabyte-scale data faster and at
a lower cost than traditional CPU-based systems.
Many enterprises lack effective methods to quickly garner
insights from their massive datasets, leading to slower
decision-making and missed opportunities. Theseus uses accelerated
hardware, including graphics processing units (GPUs), to quickly
analyze log, machine and tabular data - handling what used to be
hours-long queries in minutes. For example, cybersecurity systems
for financial service institutions generate dozens of terabytes of
data daily. With Theseus, organizations can cut the total time to
insights by skipping long ingest times and using GPUs to power
through data.
Theseus is built to help companies take advantage of GPUs and
full system hardware accelerators, on-premise or in the cloud,
enabling data preprocessing for AI/ML workloads on GPUs which
unifies data analytics and AI pipelines on the same infrastructure,
while also reducing energy consumption and data center
footprint.
David Wood, Accenture’s Technology Consulting lead, said,
“Companies across all industries are increasingly using massive
datasets to solve complex problems that are beyond the capabilities
of traditional infrastructure. Combining Accenture’s expertise in
accelerated and high-performance computing with Voltron Data’s
large-scale data processing platform, companies can better realize
the full potential of their data assets and unlock new kinds of
business value.”
Like Accenture, Voltron Data works with some of the largest
global banks, communications, media & technology firms and
governments.
“Banks are sitting on an enormous amount of trapped data with
the potential to fuel the next generation of AI-powered products
and services,” said Michael Abbott, Accenture’s Banking &
Capital Markets industry group lead. "Through its Theseus software,
Voltron Data can enable banks and others to unlock their data and
then quickly move, scale and analyze it in a way that is both cost
effective and sustainable. It’s like transforming a one lane road
into a multi-lane highway.”
“This investment and collaboration gives Voltron Data greater
reach to empower customers looking to capture the massive
opportunities of the artificial intelligence boom,” said Craig
Dunham, CEO of Voltron Data. “Working with Accenture means
following their historic record of creating value from innovation,
expanding our channel partnerships to increase awareness and
helping more customers harness the power of their data.”
Voltron Data is the latest company to join Accenture Ventures’
Project Spotlight, a vertical accelerator for data and AI
companies. Project Spotlight offers extensive access to Accenture’s
domain expertise and its enterprise clients, helping startups
harness creativity and deliver on the promise of their
technology.
Terms of the investment were not disclosed.
