Dataupia Corporation 
Type Corporation Industry Information storage (data warehouse appliance) Founded Delaware (2005) Headquarters One Alewife Center, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA Key people Foster Hinshaw, President & CEO Employees ~60 Website www.dataupia.com/ Dataupia is a supplier of data warehouse appliances. Dataupia's product offering focuses on data warehousing for applications running on Oracle, Microsoft SQL Serverdatabases. Dataupia's flagship product is the Dataupia Satori Server. The Satori Server provides an all-in-one data warehouse appliance which includes server, storage, and software in one product.
All data are designed to facilitate reporting and analysis. [1] This classic definition of the data warehouse focuses on data storage. However, the means to retrieve and analyze data, to extract, transform and load data, and to manage the dictionary data are also considered essential components of a data warehousing system. The Dataupia Satori Server is part of a market trend to provide all aspects of the data warehouse in a single product.
The company was founded in 2005 with headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with additional offices in Binghamton, United Kingdom. The company is privately held. [2]
During 2009 the company struggled with the general economic recession, and with management changes. In March, due in part to health issues, Foster Hinshaw stepped down as CEO and was replaced by Anthony Sirianni. [3] In June the company significantly reduced staff [4] and by August one departing staff member reported that the company was offering its assets for sale. [5] However, by November it was confirmed that founder and CEO Hinshaw, after recovering from health issues, was back in charge and had obtained additional financing [6] and December reports indicate that the resurgent company has returned to growth mode and is restaffing.[7]

Dataupia's name is a portmanteau of the words "data", in reference to the data warehousing industry, and "utopia". The combination of words is used by the company to imply ideal access to data.
Dataupia Satori Server
The Dataupia flagship product, Satori Server, is a network-attached data warehouse appliance.[8] As an appliance, it includes an embedded copy of Linux, a database engine, an aggregation engine, built-in storage, and parallel processors. In contrast to other complete-solution, custom-assembly data warehouse appliances, the Satori Server integrates seamlessly with existing Oracle, SQL Server and DB2 databases. This "omniversal transparency," as Dataupia calls it, allows Satori Server to interoperate with existing database management systems, rather than requiring them to be replaced. In theory, this would be a boon to customers with a huge investment in existing databases and data warehouse/business intelligence applications. [9] [10]
