Almost a decade ago, Desktop Metal was one of the early darlings in accessible 3D printing in metal.
Last year, Stratasys tried to merge with Desktop Metal in a $1.8 billion deal, but the deal fell through, and these days, Desktop Metal is worth less than $210 million.
In June 2020, he split off and started his own thing — Fluent Metal — which is taking a different technology path than Desktop Metal’s technology.
It accomplishes this through liquid metal printing technology, which it hopes will set a new standard in additive manufacturing.
“In the near term, Fluent Metal will spark the imagination of designers, engineers, and technologists to consider how rapid, on-demand production of custom metal parts could transform their capabilities.
At the moment, large organizations often employ “business intelligence” (BI) tools to figure out what the heck is going on inside their operations.
Essentially, BI tools connect to a business database and use SQL to create visualizations and build out BI dashboards.
There are huge companies involved in this space: Tableau (owned by Salesforce), Power BI (owned by Microsoft), Looker (owned by Google), and QuickSight (owned by Amazon) to name just a handful.
And how is this marketing campaign performing.” He said other players in the market target data users, whereas Fluent targets the business market, not data.
For example, Metabase is an open-source analytics and business intelligence application that allows users to create dashboards more easily.
Chronosphere, a startup that offers a cloud native observability platform, today announced that it has acquired Calyptia.
“With observability data growing by orders of magnitude, companies are ill-equipped to manage the costs and scale of this deluge, forcing their teams to make trade-offs.
Teams are especially challenged to handle log data which is prohibitively expensive to move and store,” said Martin Mao, CEO and co-founder of Chronosphere.
Chronosphere also notes that it will continue Calyptia’s engagement with the open source Fluent Ecosystem.
“Calyptia joining the Chronosphere team is excellent news for everyone who is invested in the future of open source cloud native technology,” said Chris Aniszczyk, CTO of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
