Big Data Analytics on Tap for Kentik at ONUG Spring 2017
Summary
ONUG Spring 2017 in SF
Why Kentik & ONUG?
For those who aren’t aware, ONUG is a user-driven consortium. The board includes IT leaders primarily from large enterprise and financial companies like Bank of America, Cigna, GE, Gap, Morgan Stanley, and FedEx, plus tech companies like Yahoo and Intuit. The mission of ONUG is “to enable greater choice and options for IT business leaders by advocating for open interoperable hardware and software-defined infrastructure solutions that span across the the entire IT stack, all in an effort to create business value.” The ONUG community is increasingly relevant to Kentik because while we started out with customers primarily clustered around web companies and various types of service providers, Kentik has not only gained customers but we’re also seeing increasing engagement at financial services and enterprise organizations. All of these enterprise organizations are looking to modernize their approach analytics across the board to harness cloud-scale computing platforms and open, native APIs. Nick Lippis, Co-Founder and Co-Chair of ONUG adds: “As a forward thinker in improving how businesses use big data, we are thrilled to have Kentik joining the ONUG Community and demonstrating at their first ONUG Conference this week. Kentik is proving their commitment in helping businesses — and the IT executives that run them — optimize their capacities by turning network data into real time intelligence. We look forward to hearing their insights and strategies in moving our businesses forward.”
