CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, November 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Dataupia is pleased to report that Foster Hinshaw has returned to Dataupia as chief executive officer. Hinshaw, known as the Father of Data Warehouse Appliances, founded Dataupia to drive appliance technology into the mainstream data warehousing market. After taking a hiatus following a medical surgery, he is back to lead the Company into a high-growth phase.

I am excited about the Company's position and direction, said Hinshaw. This is a great time for expansion. During the recession, we established a very strong customer base and an internationally proven product, with deployments in some of the world's largest installations. Dataupia is in an excellent position to take advantage of the economic recovery. This timing is similar to what happened at my previous company, Netezza, where we created core value during the last economic downturn and successfully rode the upswing.

Dataupia has recently secured additional funding to support its long-term product development plans and customer acquisition to fuel its growth as the economy rebounds.

According to Jonathan Saunders, chief operating officer, Dataupia, The market has validated Foster Hinshaw's perception that companies are facing critical capacity limits in their ability to access and use their data. Under his direction, Dataupia will continue to offer its valuable solution for highly scalable business applications at a very affordable price point, which is especially attractive for companies looking to support their own growth.
