Komprise | December 14, 2022
Komprise, the leader in analytics-driven unstructured data management and mobility, today announced the availability of Komprise Hypertransfer for Elastic Data Migration, which accelerates data transfer to the cloud while strengthening cloud security. As enterprises migrate more file data to the cloud, IT organizations face many barriers which cause migrations to often take weeks to months. SMB workloads such as user data, electronic design automation (EDA) and other multimedia workloads contain lots of small files and are a particular challenge since the protocol requires many back-and-forth handshakes that increase administrative traffic over the network.
Komprise Hypertransfer optimizes cloud data migration performance by minimizing the WAN roundtrips using dedicated channels to send data, mitigating the SMB protocol issues. According to recent tests performed by Komprise, Hypertransfer improves data transfer rates across the WAN by 25x over other alternatives for SMB datasets with predominantly small files. Komprise already delivers 27 times faster performance for NFS migrations. Komprise Hypertransfer also strengthens security and defense against ransomware by not accessing cloud file storage over the network during data migrations, since data transfers from source to target over private channels.
“Enterprises need to move file data to the cloud to cut costs and unlock strategic value. “With Komprise Hypertransfer you get measurably faster SMB cloud data migrations—shaving weeks off migration timelines while minimizing the chance for errors or data loss. Komprise Hypertransfer makes cloud migrations feasible.”
Kumar Goswami, CEO and co-founder of Komprise
Komprise Elastic Data Migration is a software as a service (SaaS) solution available with the Komprise Intelligent Data Management platform or as a standalone product. Designed to be fast, easy and reliable with elastic scale-out architecture and an analytics-driven approach, it is the market leader in file and object data migrations. Komprise Elastic Data Migration ensures preservation of data integrity with access control propagation and file-level data integrity checks such as SHA-1 and MD5 checks with audit logging.
With the latest release, Komprise administrators also have more flexible migration configuration settings to handle read-only sources and sources with access-time tracking disabled. Additionally, customers can now enable and disable data integrity checks to either ensure data accuracy or improve migration performance.
About Komprise
Komprise is a provider of unstructured data management and mobility software that frees enterprises to easily analyze, mobilize, and monetize the right file and object data across clouds without shackling data to any vendor. With Komprise Intelligent Data Management, you can cut 70% of enterprise storage, backup and cloud costs while making data easily available to cloud-based data lakes and analytics tools.

Clarivate | December 06, 2022
Clarivate Plc, a global leader in providing trusted information and insights to accelerate the pace of innovation, today announced the inclusion of linked specialty pharmacy claims data within real world data solutions. The new U.S. dataset will expand the real world data and analytics offerings from Clarivate. Researchers can access an in-depth view of high-cost medications and valuable insights into the patient's treatment journey in chronic, complex and rare diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis (e.g., Humira, Enbrel), inflammatory conditions (e.g., Dupixent, Otezla), and cancer (e.g., Xgeva, Xeloda).
Specialty drugs cover at least 20% of the market for chronic, complex and rare diseases. However, conventional claims data warehouses rarely include these high-cost medications, which limits the research potential of numerous diseases. Specialty pharmacy data enables life sciences professionals to:
Track specialty drug uptake and understand market dynamics (market and launch analytics)
Build brand-level patient profiles (brand analytics, patient journey)
Measure non/adherence and switching patterns (persistency and adherence analysis)
Target and appropriately engage prescribers and providers (commercial targeting)
Researchers can leverage this real-world dataset to make evidence-based decisions -- developing successful strategies, optimizing commercial resources, and defining the right activities and messaging to improve patient outcomes.
"Clarivate is committed to supporting customers across the drug, device and diagnostic lifecycle with timely, fit-for-purpose real world data solutions. The addition of integrated, high-capture specialty pharmacy data to the Clarivate portfolio further expands the set of questions that can be answered in the data by reducing fragmentation and bias and providing a more holistic view of the patient."
Matt McKinley, VP, Head of Real World Data & Analytics
The specialty pharmacy data covers over 500 specialty drugs spanning diverse therapeutic areas. The data enables a holistic analysis of complex clinical profiles reducing the need for additional data mapping or processing. The unique data and insights are updated weekly, allowing users to track changes in clinical pathways, product uptake and market dynamics.
About Clarivate
Clarivate™ is a global leader in providing solutions to accelerate the pace of innovation. Our bold mission is to help customers solve some of the world's most complex problems by providing actionable information and insights that reduce the time from new ideas to life-changing inventions in the areas of Academia & Government, Life Sciences & Healthcare, Professional Services and Consumer Goods, Manufacturing & technology.

Neo4j | November 09, 2022
Neo4j®, the leader in graph technology, announced today the general availability of Neo4j 5, the next-generation cloud-ready graph database. Neo4j 5 widens the performance lead of native graphs over traditional databases while providing easier scale-out and scale-up across any deployment, whether on-premises, in the cloud, hybrid, or multi cloud. The result empowers organizations to more quickly create and deploy intelligent applications at large scale and achieve greater value from their data.
"Graph technology adoption is accelerating as organizations seek better ways to leverage connections in data to solve complex problems at scale," said Emil Eifrem, CEO and Co-founder of Neo4j. "We designed Neo4j 5 to deliver the type of scalability, agility, and performance that enable organizations to push the envelope on what's possible for their data and their business."
Neo4j 5's specific benefits include:
Query language improvements and up to 1000x faster query performance. New syntax makes it even easier to write complex pattern-matching queries. Improvements in indexes, query planning, and runtime make Neo4j 5 the fastest implementation ever. For example, multi-hop queries can now be executed up to 1000x faster than Neo4j 4. These improvements are above and beyond the already exponentially faster Neo4j's graph results over traditional databases. Together, these benefits enable more real-time results at scale.
Automated scale-out across hundreds of machines, enabling self-managed customers to grow and handle a massive number of queries with little manual effort and significantly less infrastructure cost. This benefit is achieved via new and enhanced features like Autonomous Clustering and Fabric, enabling organizations to efficiently operate very large graphs and scale out in any environment. Neo4j 5 also automates the allocation and reassignment of computing resources.
Continuous updates across all deployments, whether in the cloud, multi-cloud, hybrid, or on-prem. Neo4j 5 ensures ongoing compatibility between self-managed and Aura workloads managed by Neo4j. In addition, a new tool called Neo4j Ops Manager provides a unified single pane for easy monitoring and management of global deployments, giving customers full control over their environments.
Neo4j 5 performance lead sets a new industry bar
More than 1,300 organizations trust Neo4j's technology to power mission-critical applications while maintaining performance, security, and data integrity. Neo4j 5 extends the company's leadership even further at a time when graph adoption is exploding.
"Switching to Neo4j was a huge win for us," said David Fox, Senior Software Engineer at Adobe and Co-founder & Engineering Lead at devRant. "We've seen significant performance improvements, and a great reduction in complexity, storage, and infrastructure costs. Staff now focus on improving the infrastructure, versus spending time frustratingly micro-managing it."
