Acunu

Acunu was a London-based enterprise software company that developed a low-latency, continuous analytics platform designed to monitor and process high-velocity big data streams. Built to integrate seamlessly with Apache Cassandra databases, the platform provided real-time monitoring and operational control capabilities for corporate customers operating within the telecommunications and manufacturing sectors. Prior to ceasing independent operations, the enterprise scaled to a team of 11 employees worldwide and successfully secured a proprietary portfolio of 20 patents. The business raised approximately $3.6 million in total venture funding from a syndicate of institutional investors, including Imperial Innovations, Eden Ventures, and Oxford Capital Partners. In late 2013, the company was acquired by Apple, which subsequently integrated the core technology and engineering personnel into its internal iCloud data infrastructure teams. Acunu was originally founded in 2009 by Tim Moreton, Tom Llewellyn-Jones, and Andrew Cowie.
