Erez Alsheich, CPO of Equalum: A veteran data architect with over two decades of experience helping clients to modernize their data warehouse

Equalum was founded in 2015 by Nir Livneh, former Senior Big Data Architect at the IDF and Erez Alsheich, CPO, 20 year veteran data architect, entrepreneur and engineer. Through their years of industry experience, they saw similar obstacles facing data teams as they sought to modernize their data warehouse and environment and move away from legacy systems: technical gaps, coding gaps, tool sprawl, and more. They recognized that many of the issues boiled down to a technical challenge – a solvable one at that – and Equalum was born. Now serving industry leaders, enterprises, and mid-enterprise companies around the world, Equalum continues its exponential rise as an award-winning data integration & real-time data streaming company to watch. Equalum is trusted by the world's leading companies to stream data to the cloud in real-time, powering data warehouse modernization, real-time analytics, AI/ML, and more. Backed by industry-leading change data capture (CDC), the platform helps you deliver critical business data across your organization with more speed, reliability and accuracy than ever before. Using its intuitive, no-code UI, you can build powerful, real-time data pipelines in minutes.

Change Data Capture (CDC): Equalum’s advanced CDC tool is trusted by leading corporations to deliver data to cloud & on-prem targets in real-time. Based on binary log parsing technology, it can reliably ingest high volumes of data with minimal impact on the source and offers unlimited scale to increase data volumes as needed. Configuring and deploying Equalum’s change data capture tool is as easy as entering the source’s connection details. As an agentless solution, Equalum does not require special integrations, software installation on the source, or application changes. Equalum offers a wide variety of built-in connectors to popular enterprise sources. Change data capture is the lowest-impact way of asynchronously capturing database changes. But legacy CDC solutions come with a number of limitations. They provide limited support for newer database technologies, and are priced for isolated replication scenarios rather than enterprise-wide use. Equalum’s library of high-performing, out-of-the-box Change Data Capture tools leverage all relevant APIs to capture changes from any database or non-database source and stream changes to a data warehouse or data lake.

Leveraging Best Cloud-Based Data integration Services

Streaming ETL: Move data to the cloud in real-time with built-in transformations, automatic schema evolution and end-to-end monitoring. Equalum simplifies data streaming & processing with robust, in-flight transformations that power real-time analytics and applications. Deploy CDC-powered data pipelines in minutes to transform and deliver data continuously to cloud and on-prem warehouses. With their simple, no-code UI and Spark and Kafka under the hood, building and maintaining pipelines has never been easier. Leverage the scalability and power of Spark and Kafka in a fully managed environment, with no installation, configuration, or coding required. Achieve up to 15x improvement in system performance, unlimited throughput and low latency by harnessing the open-source technology in their platform’s engine. Easily join datastream-to-datastream and datastream-to-dataset data using their simple drag-and drop-UI. Benefit from real-time in-memory lookups, leveraging CDC to keep the lookup data updated in real-time to ensure data accuracy.

Real-Time Data Replication: Replicate data to the cloud with 10x throughput, powered by industry-leading change data capture (CDC). Schema evolution allows you to change a table’s current schema to accommodate data that is changing over time. Equalum’s platform detects schema changes automatically, and applies them in real-time to the target to maintain a working replication. In addition, their platform provides FYI notifications on schema evolution changes that occurred for lineage and compliance purposes.

Data Warehouse Modernization: As companies move to the cloud, they face the challenge of modernizing their data architecture while keeping legacy systems connected. Equalum makes it easy to stream real-time data from legacy solutions to cloud and hybrid environments, with an enterprise-grade data integration platform that helps lower costs and automate the process from end-to-end. Equalum supports data warehouse modernization for leading on-prem and cloud solutions like Azure Synapse, Google BigQuery and Amazon Redshift, allowing companies to become truly analytics-driven. Whether you’re moving to a cloud data warehouse or modernizing your on-prem data center, Equalum helps you securely and reliably get the data you need in real-time, with an enterprise-grade platform that accelerates time to benefit. Stale data is inadequate in the modern analytics era, which means successful data modernization requires a reliable, real-time data streaming solution. Equalum’s Change Data Capture (CDC) powers real-time data replication and stream processing that quickly deliver analytics-ready data wherever you need it. Equalum makes it simple to ingest data from a broad range of sources and stream it in real-time to your modern data warehouse or lake.  Their platform also offers robust in-flight transformations, so you can enrich, cleanse, and standardize your data before it reaches the warehouse.
