Ferraro Consulting FirstGlance Promethium
Ferraro Consulting
July 04, 2024
In my coverage of unified data engineering, data fabric vendor Promethium is worth a FirstGlance and likely a second look. Having built an end-to-end data fabric from connection to compilation, the company is well positioned to fill a market need for quick, simple business insight, especially for the midmarket, departments, and enterprise customers without big IT.

WOW, I take one day off and the entire world of AI changes! In fact, according the 1,333,000 articles I read on what happened while I was cooking for my friends here in Tuscany, China is now ahead, the US is now behind, and the rest of the world is in trouble. Tech stocks crashed, trillions were lost in value, billions were lost in the sell off, and China now has an economic advantage with cost at about 4% of what their AI competitors are charging.

What Happens When the Creator of the Datamesh Concept Creates a Datamesh Company?
LinkedIn
January 19, 2023
Nextdata emerged out of stealth mode this week with a value proposition and technology designed to make the datamesh a reality. Up until today, my point of view on “datamesh” has been mostly sarcastic, laughing at the hype, and doing my best to be truthful with clients and vendors that there is no such thing as a data mesh. In fact, until today, I would say that there wasn’t even a single definition of “datamesh” since every vendor laying a claim to it, had created their own definition. This week, everything changed.
