He brings more than two decades of experience delivering industry-leading products for companies specializing in enterprise storage applications, fault-tolerant high-performance systems and massively parallel databases. Amrith studied mathematics at the University of Madras (India) and management at the Indian Institute of Management.

Tesora will continue to work with the community to improve Trove and bring to Trove capabilities that are essential for enterprise deployment(s), and we intend to continue to work with database vendors and distribution providers to improve user experience with Trove. In the Juno release, we were the largest contributor to the Trove project and we will continue this active involvement in the future. After all, in today’s data-driven world, an application can be only as successful as the data that it is able to manage and manipulate. We at Tesora believe firmly that the success of a cloud platform fundamentally depends on the ability to easily deploy applications on that platform.
