WELCOME
Good afternoon and welcome to today’s Big Data Startups: Discovery
Event, bringing some of the most exciting private companies together
with the CIA and some of the leading companies in America.
On behalf of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and In-Q-Tel, we would like
thank you for joining us for what promises to be an exciting afternoon.
We believe “Big Data” is a transformative business opportunity and
are excited to bring together such a broad cross-section of companies
together on this topic.
We were overwhelmed with the response for today’s event, which made
selecting the companies all the more difficult. To all the companies
joining us today, we say ‘thank-you.’
This is the second-year that In-Q-Tel and SVB have collaborated on the
Big Data Startups: Discovery Event. We at SVB are incredibly proud
of our relationship with In-Q-Tel and the CIA. We owe them a debt of
gratitude for all their help bringing today’s event to life and for the work
they do.
Together with our partner, In-Q-Tel, we believe connecting entrepreneurs
with larger companies and government is more important today than
ever before, especially as the pace of technology change accelerates.
A final word of thanks is due to all of the company and government
executives joining us today. We are thrilled to have you join us today and
appreciate your time and support.
Welcome again and thank-you for joining us today.

Cloudant enables them to build high-velocity “big-data” applications faster
and grow them bigger to reach a global user base without having to hire IT
operations people to do so.
Cloudant is a NoSQL database service that is easier to develop with than SQL
databases (e.g., MySQL). It is operated and scaled by the experts at Cloudant
on behalf of its clients, unlike scale-it-yourself SQL and NoSQL (e.g., MongoDB)
alternatives. Unlike other cloud database services (e.g., Amazon DynamoDB),
only Cloudant offers the ability to replicate & sync data (for mobile & off-line
apps) and scale globally—across data centers—for low-latency, non-stop
access to data by users anywhere.
Cloudant is licensed on a monthly subscription basis with prices ranging from
$0 per month to several thousand per month depending on level of service. As
of May 2012, Cloudant has over 150 paying customers, and over 7,000 people
have signed up for the free service.

Jedidiah Yueh
President and CEO
[email protected]
Presenter Biography
In 1999, Jedidiah Yueh founded Avamar, a software company that pioneered data
de-duplication and shipped a billion-dollar product in the backup and recovery
industry, with over 20,000 current customers. Today, de-duplication is a high
priority for enterprise data centers, and the technology has become a must-have
feature or product for major storage and software vendors. Data de-duplication
strips away redundant data to make disks more cost effective than tape media
for storing a wide variety of data types, such as daily, repeated backup sets. EMC
acquired Avamar in November 2006 for $165 million. EMC executives have stated
that Avamar is the best performing investment for EMC since VMware.
Yueh has demonstrated a successful track record for identifying new market
opportunities and staying ahead of industry trends. As VP of Product
Management at EMC, Yueh helped launch the Avamar Data Store and the
Avamar Virtual Edition in 2007, two innovative and successful products that
have helped EMC maintain a leadership position in the industry. Prior to Avamar,
Yueh served as Chief Operating Officer for NTD, an optical storage startup. He
brings over a decade of experience in the software and data storage industries
and has more than 6 patents or patents pending.
Yueh graduated Phi Beta Kappa, magna cum laude with an AB from Harvard
University. Under former President George H. Bush, he was designated a US
Presidential Scholar, one of the highest academic achievements awarded nationally.

COMPANY PROFILE
Company Description
Delphix enables agile data management through intelligent software that
eliminates redundant infrastructure and slow processes. As a result, Delphix
customers deliver better business applications more quickly and at lower cost.
Management Team
Jed Yueh, CEO; Kevin Mosher, EVP Worldwide Field Ops; Karthik Rau,
VP Products and R&D; Rick Caccia VP Marketing
Product Overview
Server virtualization transformed the data center, dramatically lowering the
costs and resources required to operate business systems. Those benefits have
not yet been realized for enterprise databases and the applications that run on
those databases. The costs and time required to approve, create, refresh, and
recover enterprise databases have major impact on application development and
operations. By virtualizing the data within enterprise databases, Delphix eliminates
the need for redundant processes and costs in enterprise application delivery.
Using database virtualization, the Delphix Agile Data Platform enables enterprise
application teams to: Do 5x More: One major semiconductor firm used Delphix
to increase project output by over 500%, completing 11 SAP projects when it
previously could complete 2, with the same resources. Pay 10x Less: A global
bank cut its database storage costs—both CAPEX and OPEX—by over $18 million
per year with Delphix. Cut 5x Risk: A global Consumer Packaged Goods firm
eliminated $20 million in annual downtime from SAP application errors by using
Delphix for fast recovery and troubleshooting.

collaboration; for servers—not for the cloud.
Huddle is revolutionizing the ECM market by making it collaborative, social,
ubiquitously accessible and intelligent. It provides organizations with a viable
alternative to legacy SharePoint systems and is loved by IT professionals and
end users alike. In short, it effective supports new ways of working that our now
