My name is VonVictor Valentino Rosenchild
Founder, President and CEO
WayZen Inc.

The dynamics of Big Data relative to a person perspective. Big Data depends on the amount of data a business, organization, agency, and or person produces, and retains. At WayZen Inc., the company I founded this year (2012), we focus our attention on not how to retain such data but instead of how to use such massive amounts of data. At WayZen Inc., we design and develop applications that make Big Data accessible and useful to the end user, our clients. Big Data is not the domain of Enterprise companies, because many companies retain large amounts of data over a period of years and may need to access this data to produce the types of reports, dashboards, KPI’s etc., they need to make strategic decisions on the current state of our economy and the every changing fluctuation of the market. visit WayZen Inc. at http://www.wayzen.com

WayZen Inc. is a startup founded this year (2012) in Brooklyn, New York, by me, VonVictor Valentino Rosenchild a former United States Navy Cryptologist.

WayZen Inc., is going to provide services around the Apache Hadoop open source project, Cassandra, and many other Big Data Storage, Big Data SaaS,and Big Data Application projects. We will take a leading role in the design and development of Big Data Applications. Our WayZen Mocha Big Data Content Management Platform — is a unique product and the services it will provide are business critical.

WayZen Inc., is not in competition with Cloudera, MapR and EMC Greenplum, because we are doing something different, and because I have a very creative and innovative mind and imagination, I can create things that have never existed.

Kind regards,

VonVictor Valentino Rosenchild
Founder, President & CEO
WayZen Inc.

Kindest regards,
VonVictor Valentino Rosenchild

But another important addition they have made is Shaun Connolly – http://hortonworks.com/about-us/news/hortonworks-appoints-shaun-connolly-to-vice-president-of-corporate-strategy. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Shaun at several companies and he is great. He would not have gone to a company unless it was destined for success…

My other thought is that this is a new market and clearly going to be huge, so there is likely room for multiple players with different perspectives and channels to market, just like SQL Databases have proven.
