Zetaris

Zetaris is a data platform company founded in 2013 in Australia by Vinay Samuel and Michael Cimino. It addresses the challenge of enterprises operating disconnected data across cloud data warehouses, lakes, and on-premises systems, aiming to remove the need for costly data replication before analysis.

The platform, marketed as a data harness, lets users query Snowflake, Databricks, S3, Postgres and on-prem sources through a single SQL endpoint without moving the underlying data, while an AI Data Steward auto-generates data products and connects to AI agents via MCP. Customers span financial services, healthcare, energy and telecom, including Singtel, Westpac and Cisco.

1. In-situ query: Runs SQL across multiple cloud and on-prem data sources without copying data.

2. Zero data movement: Keeps data inside the customer's VPC while still enabling cross-source analytics.

3. AI Data Steward: Auto-generates data products from source schema definitions.

4. MCP integration: Connects Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor directly to enterprise data via the Model Context Protocol.

5. Bring Your Own Cloud: Deploys inside the customer's own cloud account for data sovereignty.

6. Dual editions: Offers both self-hosted Zetaris Enterprise and managed Zetaris Cloud tiers.
