Denodo Technologies, a leader in Data Virtualization, today announced Denodo Express (DE), a no-cost Data Virtualization tool. Designed to democratize Data Virtualization, Denodo Express allows data management professionals to start proving the value of Data Virtualization by generating new data insights in hours instead of weeks. Quick, agile and powerful, DE enables developers and data architects to integrate disparate data, unleash value with agility, and impact business needs and results.
In an August 8, 2013 report by Forrester Research, Inc. titled “Information Fabric 3.0”, Principal Analyst Noel Yuhanna states:” Customers like Denodo Technologies’ easy-to-use functionality, which dramatically reduces the time needed for a Data Virtualization project from months to days. Denodo has done well over the years with a Data Virtualization platform that is flexible to address BI, operational data services, and cloud and unstructured data use cases.” The report also states, “Our interviews of several organizations that have implemented Data Virtualization show that business stakeholders are demanding faster access to information that’s consistent, reliable, and trusted across the enterprise. Without a Data Virtualization strategy, you risk knowing less about your customer, delivering fewer real-time business insights, losing competitive advantage, and spending more to address data challenges.”
Based on the award-winning Denodo Platform, Denodo Express provides the full experience of Data Virtualization including integration of disparate sources, abstraction, high performance real-time query optimization, near real-time caching, batch scheduling for ETL, and secure data services publishing. DE also includes free educational support including access to online tutorials, how-to´s and community support.
Denodo Express comes complete with multiple connectors, integration and data quality functions, metadata and security management, and several data services publishing options in one easy-to-use package. The solution connects to disparate on-premise and cloud, structured, Big Data and unstructured sources to create normalized views that are integrated and cleansed in real-time or in-memory, and delivered as data services for on-demand consumption by end users, visualization and BI tools, mobile and enterprise applications. Solutions developed in Denodo Express can be used with no time limits, and when required to reach enterprise scale can be easily upgraded to Denodo Platform.
Data Virtualization is more important than ever because it delivers simplicity and agility in meeting business needs for real-time information across an increasingly vast and complex data landscape,” said Suresh Chandrasekaran, Senior VP, Denodo Technologies. “With Denodo Express we’ve made it easy and free for anyone to get started with Data Virtualization and to continue to learn and evolve their skills so they can master this critical technology and use it to their competitive advantage.”
