Our take

Data and data privacy are two of the new frontiers of modern business. With the ever-increasing scale of data being used, and ever-adapting laws around privacy and security, businesses need to be constantly flexible and evolving in the way they handle their data. That’s where Okera enters, with its platform for secure storage and access for vast amounts of data.

Its selling point is being a single point of access for multiple types of data. Okera has the capacity to store your data, however it comes, and organise it your way. With multi-cloud support, various methods of dynamic data protection and client-driven multi-platform data policies, its offering is comprehensive.

Okera operates within a burgeoning new market, but its capacity for customization when it comes to scalability and how your data is stored and accessed is impressive. Funding is being focussed on expanding its adaptive capabilities.
