Accelerate Your Data Virtualization Efforts on the Cloud (AWS, Azure and GCP) with Denodo

In the digital transformation journey, as data is balanced across hybrid cloud environments, the creation of silos takes a new form. The data gets stored in different types of database management systems, many of which do not talk to each other, leading to data integration and storage challenges. Enterprises need a solution that can gather data from multiple sources and provide a single source of truth in real-time

This is enabled by data virtualization solutions, where a virtual view of unified data from various sources is made accessible to various front-end solutions such as applications, portals, and dashboards. Data from multiple sources is abstracted, transformed, federated, without where the data is stored. This entire data engineering process involves a safe and secure implementation.

Since the organizational data from siloed systems is integrated in a logical data layer, data virtualization does not need the data to be replicated in ETL solutions. On the contrary, the data remains in the source systems while only an integrated view of all the relevant data for a specific query is pulled up from underlying source systems and presented. It is delivered to the end user in real-time, compliant with centralized security and governance.

Uses of Data Virtualization

The holistic view of enterprise wide data in real-time enables businesses across industries to simplify processes and execute them efficiently. Some of the uses of data virtualization include:

• ● A comparative analysis of business performance over the years.
• ● Regulatory compliance with traceability of historical data.
• ● Ability to search for and discover interconnected data.
• ● Replace legacy systems and app modernization.
• ● Migration to the cloud from on-premises applications.
• ● Delivering data as a service and monetizing it.

As a result of these, businesses can experience an increase in productivity, lowering of the need for development resources, quicker data access when compared to ETL processes are some of the benefits of data virtualization.

Denodo Data Virtualization for a Holistic View

Data virtualization from Denodo, which can be deployed through marketplaces such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Docker, helps businesses achieve the goal of data integration and presentation of a unified view.

Connect to Any Source: A company stores its data in multiple sources such as databases, data warehouses, big data repositories, Excel files, and cloud applications. Denodo Data Virtualization enables pulling data from all these sources to provide a unified view.

Combine All Types of Data: Today, businesses have a mix of structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. Denodo enables combining numerical, text, streaming, social, and flat files for deeper insights.

Personalize Data Consumption: The data can be consumed in mode best suited to the user’s needs as reports or dashboards, portals, Web, or mobile applications.

Data virtualization creates a centralized secure layer for cataloging, searching, discovering, and governing the integrated data and its relationships. This data is presented in a virtual or logical layer without the need to replicate the physical repository.
