QuestDB snares $12M Series A with hosted version coming soon – TechCrunch
QuestDB, makers of the speedy open source time series database, announced a $12 million Series A today from 468 Capital, Uncorrelated Ventures and a list of industry angels, including Alexis Ohanian. The company has now raised a total of $14.3 million, including the $2.3 million seed announced last July.
Since that time, the startup, which was a member of the Y Combinator summer 2020 cohort, has been working hard to build a community around the open source project, while working on the enterprise version and an upcoming hosted version, which should be ready by the end of the year.
Customers can install the enterprise version on their cloud of choice and manage it themselves, but the company has been hearing requests from customers for something easier.
This is something that a lot of companies have been asking us about. Essentially, most companies do not want to deal with the operational complexity of hosting on their own cloud. And they want the database provider to host that on their behalf, co-founder and CEO Nicolas Hourcard told me.
The database is built for speed and is fast enough that companies using Quest can cut back on servers, which they often will use to make up for lost speed on the database side. As Hourcard told TechCrunch at the time of the seed funding:
Were building an open source database for time series data, and time series databases are a multi-billion-dollar market because theyre central for financial services, IoT and other enterprise applications. And we basically make it easy to handle explosive amounts of data, and to reduce infrastructure costs massively.
On the open source front, Quest has built a Slack community with more than 900 developers, and over 70 code contributors have helped out on the project. In addition, the founders started a group made up of Y Combinator alums who have built businesses on open source and have 100 members in that group. The group meets regularly to discuss issues related to their chosen business model and hear from successful open source company founders.
On the commercial side, they wouldnt share the number of customers, but indicated that the enterprise product has features like more flexibility around the deployment and making it easier to operate quickly at scale.
So far the company has 15 employees, with plans to double that number in the next six months if things continue to go according to plan. Hourcard believes that as an open source and fully remote company, it should help to build a more diverse workforce. We dont pose limits in terms of where were going to hire or what sort of backgrounds, and we think that diversity ultimately would benefit the companys culture, so were trying to do that the best we can, he said.
He says that sometimes an employee can be an open source contributor first, who shows knowledge and enthusiasm for the product. Open source is an amazing way of getting to meet developers from different areas, and its true that sometimes you see a contributor who [is making a big] contribution, and then there is the question, okay, should we bring this person on the team,' he said.

Using Open-Source Intelligence for Mergers and Acquisitions – Security Intelligence
Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have been challenging for IT and security teams for as long as businesses have relied on technology. Every companys IT system is as unique as the company itself. Your business may run on commonly used tools and apps, and industry best practices to deploy and configure them. Nevertheless, these systems get molded to the specific needs of the business over time.
This can make the M&A process difficult when it comes to bringing together the technical systems and security needs on which the merged companies must function. This can result in drawn-out projects that may take years to fully transition to one IT pipeline.
The growth of cloud platforms has made these already challenging processes more complex. First, many apps used for work moved to a software-as-a-service model. In addition, the assets which comprise the products and unique selling points of many businesses now reside in one of the many cloud-hosted platforms. They arent physical assets in a data center anymore.
In order to help address these challenges, assess and review tech early in the M&A cycle. Its tempting to assess targets based mainly on their places in the market. After all, companies acquiring others want to fill a gap in their portfolio or own a specific tool or service. Checking for tech bottlenecks often comes late in the M&A cycle, leaving little time to consider the impact they will have on the future.
This is where open-source intelligence (OSINT) can help. It lets an acquirer assess a potential targets defenses and understand many aspects of the way it runs long before getting into the weeds of due diligence. As the name suggests, OSINT combines free, openly available information gathered from different sources. It builds a picture of a companys posture and is uniquely positioned to assess cloud defenses.
The simplest route to get to know a companys cloud security posture is to get OSINT health reports. These cover a lot of potential issues directly tied to the way the target company runs. They also pull their source data from multiple public scans and repositories. They can compare these with other, similar industry players, allowing a simple visual contrast with business rivals.
Some areas that an OSINT report will cover include:
Knowing all of this helps to indicate the resources put towards information security generally, most importantly the delivery and management of those systems and services that face the public internet. A poor score in one or more areas may suggest a weakness in a certain skill set or a blind spot in defenses.
A lot can be inferred from the pictures they paint. For example, the use of a specific cloud-hosting platform or underlying tech can guide the acquirer towards picking a target that aligns with their tech base, helping smooth the transition. It will also be obvious right away if you will need to standardize towards a certain platform, such as moving from G-Suite to Microsoft 365.
The use of OSINT doesnt replace the need for due diligence of IT systems and security practices once the acquisition is underway. However, it can help build a picture of how seriously a company takes security. In doing so, it reduces the risk of any nasty surprises further down the line.

Huawei might have to sell its server division following US sanctions – TechRadar
Huawei is reportedly in advanced talks to sell off its server business after it faced difficulties securing processors from Intel following the US government blacklisting the company.
As reported by Bloomberg which spoke with people familiar with the matter, the Shenzen-based company is mulling the idea of selling off its x86 server business to a consortium of companies that includes at least one government-backed buyer.
Although the precise value of the deal is still unknown, it's likely worth billions of yuan with several potential buyers emerging from both the government and private sector in recent months. So far though, the state-owned firm Henan Information Industry Investment has emerged as the most likely buyer which makes sense given how it has been a partner of Huawei's server business.
At the moment, it is still unclear as to whether or not the company, consumer electronics maker Huaqin Technology and others are bidding separately or as part of a consortium. Last year, Huawei also sold off its Honor smartphone brand to a consortium led by the Shenzhen government.
While Huawei was once a major player in the smartphone market and was gearing up to give Samsung and even Apple a run for their money, that all changed in 2018 when the Trump administration led a campaign against the company.
The former US president and others highlighted the national security risk that was posed by using Huawei's chips in the country's telecommunications networks. This also led to US companies such as Qualcomm being banned from supplying Huawei with a number of components including those used in 5G smartphones.
According to a statement from the company's rotating chairman Guo Ping, Huawei's enterprise business has stabilized in the years since while its consumer divisions have been significantly impacted by US sanctions which have yet to be lifted.
Although its server division isn't a core part of Huawei's offerings, it was used to develop servers for its cloud computing business using designs based on technology from Arm.
We'll likely hear more regarding Huawei's server business once the company finds a buyer for it.
We've also highlighted the best cloud hosting and the best cloud storage services

Teledata and Sudlows win New Design/Build Data Centre Project of the Year at Prestigious DCS Awards – Business Manchester
Manchester cloud hosting and data centre operator, Teledata, has won New Design/Build Data Centre Project of the Year at the prestigious DCS (Data Centre Solutions) awards in a collaborative entry with Manchester-based infrastructure specialist, Sudlows. Teledata was also runner up in the Excellence in Data Centre Services category.
The award, which was celebrated at an event in London on 28th October, recognised the project that Teledata and Sudlows undertook to design and build a new, highly efficient data centre at Teledatas headquarters in Wythenshawe the third data hall at the firms environmentally intelligent server hosting facility.
Working collaboratively, Teledata and Sudlows carried out meticulous space planning, taking into consideration the unique floor plate and structural obstructions that had to be overcome to accommodate the containment for the server racks. Teledatas iconic 1970s building meant that the project had its challenges during the design, and construction stages. Height restrictions within the data hall meant that careful consideration and planning were required to ensure there were no clashes between electrical and mechanical equipment, and that sufficient space was available for installation of data cabling between the proposed racks.
The build resulted in one of the most advanced and environmentally efficient data centres in the UK, a space which Teledata filled immediately with one of its newest clients a leading global tech giant.
Matt Edgley, director for Teledata commented; We are honoured to be recognised by the DCS for the second year running. Sudlows were instrumental in the development of our new data centre, and the results speak volumes regarding the brilliant collaborative relationship we have with their team. We would like to thank Sudlows for all of their great work on this project, and I would also like to thank the team at Teledata, who work tirelessly together to help make our business an ongoing success.
Andy Hirst, managing director for Sudlows added; It was a pleasure working with Teledata on this project. Our teams worked well together, ensuring the project timescales were achieved and the build was completed to a very high standard. This demonstrates that when clients work closely with design and build specialists, it helps make the project a success.
Created 10 years ago, the DCS Awards are firmly established as the premier annual celebration of the data centre industry, recognising the achievements of vendors, their business partners, their staff and their customers.

Forget Windows 11 hardware requirements, Windows 365 is here to save the day – TechRadar
Microsoft has announced that all Windows 365 customers can now deploy cloud PCs running Windows 11, its new operating system.
Last month, the company opened up Windows 11 cloud PCs to Windows 365 Enterprise customers (with at least 300 deployments), but businesses of all sizes can now spin up Windows 11 desktops via the virtualization service.
At its annual Ignite conference, Microsoft explained that host devices will not be required to adhere to the strict Windows 11 system requirements, which will be fulfilled instead by a virtual TPM (vTPM) chip built into Windows 365 itself.
Windows 11 is now supported across all virtual desktop configurations with at least 2 vCPUs and 4GB of RAM, of which there are eleven in total. The cheapest - with 2 vCPUs, 4GB RAM and 64GB cloud storage - is available for $28.00/23.90 per month.
Microsoft first unveiled Windows 365 in the summer, promising customers a new way to experience Windows 10 or Windows 11.
The virtualization service allows users to stream a Windows 10 or 11 desktop to any of their devices and from any location, effectively turning the host device into a thin client. Instead of hosting the operating system and applications locally, using up both storage and compute, Windows 365 lets users stream their apps, data and settings to any of their devices - including those that run on macOS, Linux and Android.
According to Microsoft, the service opens up a host of new opportunities for businesses, from a cost, administration and productivity perspective. And while no consumer-focused use cases have been announced, we wouldnt be surprised if something is in the pipeline.
Although Windows 365 didnt support Windows 11 cloud PCs at launch, customers will now be able to take advantage of the upgrades on offer with the new Microsoft OS, as well as the flexibility afforded by the PC-as-a-service model.
In addition to provisioning brand new Windows 11 cloud PCs, administrators can also upgrade existing Windows 10-based deployments by changing the gallery image in Microsoft Endpoint Manager and triggering a reprovision.
To check whether existing cloud PC deployments are compatible with Windows 11, administrators can consult the Work from anywhere dashboard in Endpoint Analytics.
For companies confused by Microsoft's messaging around Windows 11 system requirements, or those whose hardware does not meet the grade, Windows 365 could prove a blessing.

Linda Visnick: Observing the Business World with an Innovative Eye – Analytics Insight
As industries are migrating to cloud computing, CherryRoad Technologies offers many solutions, products, and services for modern businesses. With the companys expert solutions, individuals can stay connected to their agencies, departments, and first responders. If a company is in the midst of its digital transformation journey, CherryRoad can offer advice on the best path forward, the right strategies, and create a map for your desired outcomes. Leading the innovative teams at this company is Linda Visnick, who has an eye for creating customer-centric solutions that put an end to concerning issues.
CherryRoad Technologies Inc. is a US-based IT services provider specializing in strategic cloud consulting, software modernization, cloud hosting, colocation, network infrastructure, and cloud-managed services. CherryRoad has successfully delivered on-time and on-budget services to over 500 public sector clients for 38 years.
The company has partnerships with Oracle, Infor, and DocuSign and has delivered 2000+ projects including PeopleSoft, E-business Suite, Oracle Cloud, and Colocation engagements to state and local governments, transportation authorities, K12 school districts, and more. It has several offices in North America and Asia with consultants averaging 12+ years of experience.
CherryRoad provides comprehensive technology system implementations, integrations, upgrades, and managed services that maximize performance and value for the customers. For almost four decades, the company has earned a solid reputation for combining its technological, organizational, functional, and vertical market expertise into practical solutions that deliver results, specifically with public sector clients. CherryRoad Technologys flexible approach and methodologies enable it to structure engagements that best meet its clients specific needs.
The company is particularly proud of its high customer retention rate. When asked why they keep returning, a common thread ran through all of its clients responses, it all comes down to CherryRoads people. The company only employs seasoned professionals who stay focused on its clients business issues and consistently perform to exceed their expectations.
Linda Visnick, Director, Education Sector of CherryRoad has 30 years of experience in the business of education and technology. She has led school districts at the executive level in various roles such as Assistant Superintendent of Business Administration, prior to transitioning to the technology arena as the Executive Director, in a modernization, improvement, and transformation initiative where she implemented ERP solutions to replace legacy systems. She was asked to transition from the business side of the organization to the technology side of her knowledge of the business and leadership skills to lead such a complex implementation. With her experience on the business side of the organization, Linda brings a unique perspective to the technology realm that transitions to other public sector entities. Soon after the success of that implementation, she joined CherryRoad Technologies as Director, Education Sector. In addition to her previous role, Linda has been involved in the ERP implementations of more than 60 education agencies. She understands the value that cloud applications can bring to streamline business activities, reduce duplication of effort, provide analytics for better decision making, ultimately reducing costs and increasing profits. Her knowledge of cloud tools has enhanced her role at CherryRoad Technologies to include opportunities to bring communities together through cloud services and solutions.
Linda had the benefit of building relationships across all the business functions that helped her to move to the technology field. Even though she had knowledge of the business needs, Linda still had to recognize that she didnt have all the knowledge and experience of others who surrounded her. Too often, we think we know what is needed without actually listening to our peers. Linda believes that it is paramount to let go of ones ego and engage in conversation. Dont be afraid to ask questions if you dont understand or need to seek a deeper understanding. Observe the nuances of the room. What is not being said is just as important as what is being said, she added. At one point through an ERP implementation, the company was seeking feedback about how they could improve on the products being provided. There were clients in the room, large and small. The small clients generally felt intimidated by the larger clients so wouldnt provide input. Having read the room and drawing out conversations from all individuals, a business leader from one of the small clients brought forward an idea. When the team stopped to listen to the idea, they found that they could develop an analytical solution that could benefit other client agencies. Utilizing the cloud, the tool was made available for other clients editing and data analysis. Gathering and compiling others ideas is key to leading.
Linda had the opportunity to move into a leadership role at a relatively young age. Having that opportunity presented challenges, especially since there were very few women counterparts running the business of a school district. There were groups that socialized outside of the workplace, which naturally lent to friendships and comraderies. Linda felt left out of opportunities as a result. It forced her to step out of her comfort zone and to participate in ways that enabled others to hear her voice. Linda joined organizations that enabled her to meet others throughout the State. She participated in committees that enabled her to provide presentations on the topics where her knowledge could be shared. She led groups that brought together other colleagues so that people who were new to their role or profession could learn from the veteran staff. Soon, Linda was being featured in a magazine for the work that she had done. The exposure allowed her to create relationships that were inclusive and, as a result, bring value to a much broader base than if she had stayed narrowly focused on those immediately surrounding her.
Linda believes that leaders need to have the ability to inspire others. There is so much that is encompassing in that one statement. She explains that if others are inspired by you, then ultimately you are leading with integrity and honesty. If you are honest with others, they will be honest with you. Being strategic is imperative. Hope is not a strategy. Having a penned-out strategy demonstrates thought leadership with an intentional eye and ear to the needs of the community you are supporting. Having a clear strategic plan that is easily communicated makes for easy support of your vision, ultimately leading to success. Lastly, having the resilience to overcome challenges is important. She further adds that throughout your career, you will be faced with adversity at every turn. You can act as a victim, or you can identify the path that will make you better and more valuable to the organization and client base for which you are serving.
CherryRoad Technologies holds 38 years of in-depth expertise in servicing state government entities. It understands the unique issues and challenges public agencies face. Technology is advancing at a rapid pace, qualified labor resources are more difficult to find and retain, budget pressures grow, and government oversight and regulations continue to increase. These factors, combined with heightened demand for services by constituents, make consistent management and standardized processes a challenge to achieve. The companys Enterprise Solutions team is comprised of experienced professionals from both the business world and the public sector.
Based on its interactions with the clients, including surveys and research papers, CherryRoad Technologies matches an automation solution that caters to this sectors pain point. For example, it launched Digital Town Hall, a virtual meeting solution designed specifically for government meetings with their citizens. Similarly, Digital School Board and Shark UTM were designed with the features needed by K12 school districts. Minority/Women Business Entities (M/WBE) compliance reporting hurdles for state agencies are resolved through Diversity Commitment Management (DCM) Solution and so on and so forth.
The adoption of cloud infrastructure is rapidly increasing across public sector environments. The Covid-19 Pandemic acted as an accelerator for the adoption rate of cloud as it forced to trust in cloud technologies at a rapid pace. Quickly, CherryRoad Technologies clients learned that cloud platforms could be trusted with mission-critical workloads while providing scale and agility that legacy infrastructure couldnt match. At a time when citizen stakeholders were demanding solutions that were accessible from hand-held devices, at any time, from anywhere, Cloud became the enabling technology that ensured secure access, high availability, and social safety. The company has seen statistics that say 81 percent of companies with 1,000 employees or more already have a multi-cloud strategy. That number will rise to more than 90 percent by 2024.
The team believes that CherryRoad is very well positioned to maintain its leadership position in modernizing and transforming legacy environments. They have already seen its clients begin to shift from a focus on modernization to a focus on optimization. Thats really all about understanding how work happens in an agency model and the optimal workflows that deliver efficiency. So, its not just about the technology, it is also about process, change management, workforce management, and more. Having supported public sector clients for more than 38 years, the company possesses all of this industry domain knowledge and expertise that its clients can lean into and increase their speed to value. Said differently, the company can really help its clients realize the promise of digital technologies.
Dont let roadblocks hinder you from growing as a leader, said Linda. Roadblocks open up opportunities for a different path. Finding your own path will enable new relationships that will broaden your knowledge and understanding. New relationships and broadening your knowledge may send you on a path of change. At worst, youve gained new understanding and relationships. At best, you have created a successful path to propel you into the future, she concludes.

Cloud computing in the public sector: a distant dream or the near future? – ComputerWeekly.com
The pandemic has seen the rapid digital transformation of private sector organisations to keep up with digital demand. Following suit, many public sector organisations are now craving the benefits of lower infrastructure costs and greater flexibility associated with cloud technology.
A recent Accenture study found that 70% of public sector executives see migration to cloud as key to the transformation of core models and systems in the next three years. However, many of these executives dont always know the best approach to investing in cloud migration. Now, there is the additional pressure of scrambling to meet the demands of the post-pandemic environment.
The overall benefits of cloud are clear, with 72% of IT decision-makers in the private sector citing increased efficiency as a main driver behind adoption. But how can the public sector optimise specific applications in the cloud to meet their needs?
Both the public and private sector face pressure to modernise, streamline and be at the forefront of IT innovation. However, the public sector does not enjoy the luxury of unrestricted budgets and faces constant pressure from the public to get things right.
Similar to the private sector, cloud-based hosting options for enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, such as Oracle E-Business Suite, can enhance critical applications within government infrastructures such as the core finance, procurement, HR systems, that enable work-from-home grants and the furlough scheme.
As many public sector employees continue to work remotely, cloud is an effective migration pathway to leapfrog to the latest technology platforms and centralise management systems to provide IT leaders with greater scalability and flexibility, leading to increased levels of security.
UK government introduced a cloud-first policy in 2013, stating: In the future, when procuring new or existing new services, public sector organisations should consider and fully evaluate potential cloud solutions first- before they consider any other option. However, extenuating circumstances have restricted budgets, and on-premise is still a simpler risk adverse hosting option for many public bodies ERP systems.
Fast-forward seven years and we have the Covid-19 pandemic. The UK government had to distribute fiscal support for all at an insanely high speed, and to rely on financial applications and cloud computing solutions to help run various financial schemes such as furlough. If the UK government can implement its Covid cloud strategy, then why shouldnt cloud hosting be more prolific in other areas such as ERP?
A recent National Audit Office (NAO) report revealed that IT reforms and spending cuts had saved the taxpayer approximately 316m after a year of the cloud-first policy was put in place. This is thanks to government departments hosting applications on cloud infrastructure and minimising their reliance on on-premise systems and legacy technology.
As we recover economically from the pandemic,public sector organisations will look for innovative ways to economise. One way to reduce costs is to move applications to an infrastructure cloud.
However, many of the applications used in the public sector are complex and require tailored skillsets and infrastructure stacks, otherwise costs can spiral. This is where specialised managed service providers (MSPs) thrive.
As is the case with Oracle E-Business, choosing a cloud hosting partner that uses Oracles own virtualisation can save governments and councils cash through reduced software licensing costs, and working with a specialist cloud hosting partner can provide an inclusive service wrapper that will lower the total cost of ownership.
NHS England recently issued a call to vendors for advice on an integrated ERP cloud solution. Working closely with a specialist MSP that understands the intricate requirements of the project could provide NHS England with the additional support and technical capabilities to maximise its technology investment.
Security is one of the main reasons organisations have expressed concern over hosting their applications in cloud infrastructure. A company running its servers on-premise can retain control over security and the measures it has in place. The responsibility of prompt patch updates, firewall and antivirus software installations, and fending off cyber attacks, lies with the in-house IT staff or a third-party managed service provider.
Cloud security is developing at a rapid pace. Cloud providers utilise tools such as web application firewall (WAF) and the intrusion prevention system (IPS) and distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS) protection to mitigate against many security threats.
But it is more important to consider the credentials and services provided by the cloud supplier. Its one thing to have an arsenal of tools, but unless they are configured correctly and appropriately, they will have little value.
It is important to note that these benefits may not be fully realised if the lift and shift approach is adopted. This is where many public sector organisations fall short. The migration process needs to be planned and configured to take full advantage of an infrastructure cloud.
Specialist cloud managed services that provide a bespoke service wrapper can optimise the security of specific application sets. For a system such as Oracle E-Business, an MSP will be able to grapple with the biggest security challenges that are unique to that system, such as having an exhaustive inventory and a single, consistent approach to authentication, authorisation, logging, monitoring and alerts.
While progress is being made in the public sector in terms of cloud adoption, an application centric approach is required for the best value for money. For the best performance, efficiency, security and cost savings, public sector organisations should explore cloud hosting partners that work with particular application sets. By drawing on their skills and expertise, the burden of in-house management can be lifted, and performance optimised.
