Exabeam
What’s in a name?
When the founders started brainstorming company name ideas, big data was a source of inspiration.
The product would process a lot of data — many, many gigabytes. “Giga” and “tera” already saturated the tech landscape, so they went bigger — literally — thinking one billion gigabytes, or an exabyte. But the product also acted like a beam of light, shining down on interesting patterns contained in huge volumes of log data. The name recipe was there, and the rest is history.
