    Early Adopter Research Podcast with Clumio's Poojan Kumar

    On this episode of the Designing Enterprise Platforms Podcast from Early Adopter Research (EAR), EAR’s Dan Woods speaks with Poojan Kumar of Clumio. Their conversation focused on why backup isn’t a key source for data mining, analytics and applications. Kumar is one of the co-founders of Clumio, a modern cloud backup solution. Their conversation covers why, ideally, when you create a backup repository, you have a repository of all the data in a company. In some of the modern solutions, that data is actually accessible and organized, meaning it doesn’t involve just tae images of the backups or data in the rawest possible form -- it has actually understood the data and stored it with a schema. Once that occurs, companies can access the data independently of the original system. But then the question is why this data isn’t being used more often for data mining analytics and applications. Highlights of their conversation includes: 4:30 -- What you can do with backup data 11:30 -- What are the problems with existing backup vendors 20:40 -- Use cases of backup
