Aster Data is a proven leader in big data management and big
data analysis for data-driven applications. Aster Data’s
Sequoia n Cluster is the first MPP data warehouse architecture that
allows applications to be fully embedded within the database
engine to enable ultra-fast, deep analysis of massive data sets.
Sequoia Clearwell Systems has developed solutions that aid the large
enterprise in performing oversight on the use and users of their IT
infrastructures. It seems that such aid would be in great demand
in the private sector in the era of Sarbanes-Oxley. On the federal
side, it seems that such tools would be useful in counter
intelligence investigations.
Clearwell Systems is changing the way companies perform
electronic discovery (e-discovery) in response to litigation,
Sequoia regulatory inquiries, and internal investigations. For more
information, visit Clearwell Systems, follow Clearwell on Twitter,
or subscribe to the E-Discovery 2.0 blog.
Evernotes software connects all computers and phones an
Sequoia individual uses daily, allowing the user to capture something in
one place and access it from another.
The web presence states that this company has the capability to
address (recognize & block) zero day attacks. While this claim is
not believeable, it is worth investigating the technology to
understand what is real. Both Solera and ArcSight are partners,
which lends some credibility to their offerings. Also the founder
was founded by Ashar Aziz who has a distinguished reputation
Sequoia based on his accompliments at SUN.
This company develops network situational awarness and
management solutions. I am aware of a number of significant
outages in critical government systems that were caused by the
lack of situational awareness and the mismanagement of IP
address and DNS and router configurations. The capabilities
advertised would address specifically these functions and are
advertised to mitigate the kinds of errors that led to these
Sequoia outages.
Sequoia LogLogic® (www.loglogic.com) provides log and security n/a
management solutions designed to improve accountability and
lower costs for organizations of all sizes. LogLogic’s open log
management platform enables customers to collect, search and
store massive amounts of IT log data from a myriad list of devices
and applications for a comprehensive fingerprint of past and
current activity, through one convenient, easy-to-use web-based
user console. LogLogic’s business applications correlate user
activities and event data in real-time for a uniquely integrated
approach to security event management, database security
management, security change management and compliance
management, resulting in improved accountability and lower
costs for organizations of all sizes.
Loopt is the leading location-based mobile social mapping
company. Loopt produces a suite of mobile applications including
Loopt, Loopt Star, Loopt Pulse for iPad, and Loopt Mix, to allow
Sequoia users to discover the world around them. Loopt products use
location on mobile phones, iPad and iPod touch devices to help
their users find and enjoy the friends, places, events, and real-
world rewards around them right now. The Loopt services have
more than 3 million registered users.
Mahalo is a human-powered search engine dedicated to help
people easily find information and resources they can trust.
Mahalo launched in public alpha in May of 2007, added the
freelance-fueled Mahalo Greenhouse in June and graduated to
Sequoia public beta in October of that year.
This is one of a number of companies that have capabilities that
claim to allow "analysts" to query heterogeneous data across a
large enterprise of many data bases and formats. It also claims to
allow analysts to enrich their queries through use of their
technology on subsequent "drill down" queries. It claims to have
alerting and geospatial analytics. It is not clear from their web
presence exactly what discriminates their technology from other
companies in this field, but the offering is certainly worth a
Sequoia deeper dive.
MobileIron is solving the problems CIOs face as enterprise data
moves to the smartphone. The MobileIron Virtual Smartphone
Platform is the first solution to give IT and users real-time
Sequoia
intelligence and control over smartphone content, activity, and
apps in order to secure the enterprise, reduce wireless cost, and
improve the mobile user experience.
This company was founded by the technical folks that developed
Amazon's EC2 architecture and service offering. It provides these
services on enterprise intranets in the same way that Amazon
provides the services on the internet. The company provides a
number of features that others have to develop if they decide to
use open source HADOOP. It is possible that this company is
doing for HADOOP what REDHAT did for LINUX. (Not sure about
the analogy, but based on what is available on the web, that may
Sequoia be the case).
Sequoia Founded by the team that developed Amazon EC2, Nimbula n/a

combine a radio transceiver/antenna, concurrent dual band
mode, mesh networking, and transmit beamforming for
delivering bandwidth for home or office.
Sequoia Cassandra is the most scalable and high performance database n/a
for online transactions available. Offering geographic distribution
of data across multiple data centers and linear, incremental
scalability, Cassandra allows the addition of resources on an as
needed basis. Riptano is the company providing software,

Chiliad has a unique way of addressing the distributed,
hetrogeneous extended enterprise data problem. Their
soluion leaves data in its legacy data bases and formats
and layers indexing services on top of the data wherever it
resides. This is a truly scalable way to address the IC
"connect the dots" problem. This company has a stand-
alone analytic solution for cyber problems or problems
confronting the IC and the solution need not depend on
other capabilities. However, entity extraction and
disambiguation capabilities may actually enrich results so
teaming this capability with WAREMAN Pro from WOTI is a
natural match. This comany is small and finding customers
in both government and private sector.
Cleversafe has a unique solution for secure data storage
virtualization. Their technology is disruptive. The
company is in its infancy but has already attracted interest
from a large intelligence agency who has Cleversafe under
contract to peform some research and tests. The
Cleversafe solution provides the same assurance as data
replication with significantly less IT hardware with
implications for power, space and cooling. The company is
very early stage but has products and customers.

Palantir has developed capabilities that allow analysts (and
in particular cyber analysts) to significantly enhace their
productivity. Their analytic engine is currently in use in
both the government and financial sectors. The

Palantir allows for the seamless integration of

tool for analysts in a network defense operations center.

Netwitness is a tool that is used to inspect, block and

result of malicious activity. It has powerful analytics that
can be summoned by cyber analysts to gain situational
awareness of a network and the activities of its authorized
and unauthorized users. It has both real-time and off line
capability. The company is still in its infancy and grew out
of a government product. THe uniqueness of the product
and it's capabilities is truly a discriminator. The only other
product that does anything similar is a GOTs product
developed organically inside a government IC agency.
It started with a goal to help people see and understand
their data anywhere: spreadsheets, data marts, web files,

Leading the Next Generation of Data Protection
Organizations today are increasingly challenged in protecting customer data and
safeguarding intellectual property from internal malicious use and accidental
mishandling. Unauthorized disclosure of confidential information can result in loss
of revenue, financial penalties and irreparable damage to an organization‘s image,
brand and customer loyalty.
In addition, government regulations and guidelines require businesses to strictly
monitor their confidential information and report confidential data leaks. Since
corporations are mandated to report confidential data leaks, one cannot read the
global news without seeing articles outlining how a sensitive data leak caused
substantial corporate financial losses and directly affected the general consumer.
