Exclusive: Voltron Data brings new power to AI with Theseus distributed query engine

Nov 30, 2023 - venturebeat.com
Voltron Data, a company that debuted in 2022 with $110 million in funding, is announcing a new distributed query engine called Theseus. Theseus is designed to accelerate large-scale data pipelines and queries using GPUs and other hardware accelerators, and is optimized for running distributed queries on large datasets of 10 terabytes or more. It is targeted at companies with petabyte-scale data processing needs across various sectors. The goal of Theseus is to speed up ETL (extract, transform, load), feature engineering, and other data preparation work to feed AI and analytics systems faster.

Theseus embraces open standards like Apache Arrow, Apache Parquet, and Ibis for interoperability, and is not a proprietary siloed system. It can query data in any Apache Arrow-compatible data lake and feed data directly into many popular machine learning tools and frameworks. Voltron Data is bringing Theseus to market via partnerships, the first of which is with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). The company plans to expand Theseus partnerships and add more functionality in the future.
