DataWeek -- Main Stage

Rajan Goyal, DataPelago, CEO & Co-founder

IT leaders face mounting pressure to leverage their organization’s data for genAI and lakehouse analytics. Yet, with data volumes doubling every two years and nearly 90% of new data being unstructured, traditional data processing architectures can’t keep up. Existing systems were designed for structured data and CPU-based computing, and businesses are finding they struggle with processing latency, high costs, and siloed data. In fact, more than 80% of IT leaders say that data silos are hindering digital transformation.

To drive value in today’s data environment, IT leaders need to implement new data processing architectures that are designed to handle massive volumes of complex data and are capable of taking advantage of the accelerated hardware (GPUs, FPGAs, CPU/SIMD, etc.) available in today’s cloud environments.

In this session, DataPelago CEO Rajan Goyal will outline the shortcomings of current data processing architectures and introduce attendees to the Universal Data Processing Engine, a software solution that sits between a data lake and query engine. Overcoming the shortcomings of traditional processing models, the UDPE is designed to handle all types of data (structured, unstructured, semi-structured) and work on top of any hardware. Integrating seamlessly into any tech stack, it accelerates data processing speed by 2-3x while cutting processing costs by 30-60% — enabling organizations to utilize all of their data for lakehouse analytics and AI workloads.
