WebAction offers a real-time big data server that IT organizations can use to acquire, process and deliver structured and unstructured data. The platform, according to the company, can filter, process, enrich and correlate data while it’s still in motion — all critical for next-generation, data-driven applications.
WebAction, based in Palo Alto, Calif., was founded in 2012. The company’s CEO is Ali Kutay, who was CEO of Golden Gate Software before Oracle acquired it in 2009.
In July, the company raised $11 million in second-round financing with venture capital firm Summit Partners leading the round.
