Komprise builds an unstructured data management platform that scans petabytes of file and object data to give enterprises visibility, searchable metadata, analytics and automated workflows to move data to the right storage tier. The platform tags and enriches files, preserves user access during migrations, and can apply retention, deletion and backup policies to support compliance and cost optimization. Komprise says it does not store customer data itself, only metadata stored in customer-specified locations. The company claims more than 300 customers across sectors such as healthcare, life sciences, public sector, higher education, financial services, media and manufacturing, and reports about 150 employees. Leadership says Komprise grew 306% from 2018 to 2021, though the CEO declined to clarify what that growth metric precisely represents. The company is prioritizing cloud data migration, lifecycle management and self-service, and is using external capital to expand go-to-market efforts and channel partnerships. Komprise provides an intelligent data management platform to manage the complete data lifecycle, including data analytics, replication, archive and effortless migration. The company is led by CEO Kumar K. Goswami and is based in Campbell, California. Komprise sells through partnerships with Western Digital, IBM, NetApp, EMC, Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services and Azure. The business raised a $24M Series C to accelerate sales, marketing, product development and customer support. Total financing since inception reached $42M, reflecting prior financing before this round. The platform and partner ecosystem position Komprise to support enterprise data management and cloud integration initiatives. Komprise offers an intelligent data management platform designed for enterprises to manage, archive, replicate and protect data across both on-premises and cloud storage. The platform handles massive scale on-demand and reduces costs by requiring no hardware or storage agents. It serves verticals including financial services, genomics, healthcare, manufacturing, engineering, media and entertainment, and government. Komprise partners with cloud and storage providers such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Storage, Microsoft Azure, HPE, NetApp, EMC, Quantum, SpectraLogic and Scality. The company is led by CEO Kumar K. Goswami, President & COO Krishna Subramanian, and CTO Michael Peercy. Komprise intends to use recent funding to scale operations globally. Komprise provides an automated way to store, organize, and analyze data across on-premise servers and the cloud. The company aims to help organizations reduce storage costs and eliminate data silos by enabling expansion of on-premise capacity with cloud storage. Komprise says customers can save up to 70% of costs while increasing efficiency and notes that many businesses spend a quarter of their annual IT budgets on storage and data management. The startup is preparing a beta program for its service and plans to use new capital to hire more employees. The founding team—CEO Kumar Goswami, COO Krishna Subramanian, and CTO Michael Peercy—are on their third startup together and previously sold Kaviza to Citrix in 2011. Use cases highlighted include making data available where Dev/Ops teams need it so apps can run in the cloud while accessing on-premise data.
