Stand Alone Data Virtualization

Stand alone data virtualization solutions are a common approach to logical data warehousing. However, many of these systems are large, costly and difficult to maintain. Furthermore, a project of this scale typically needs to be endorsed by the entire IT organization.

Embedded Data Virtualization

Unlike stand-alone Data Virtualization solutions, Embedded DV can be deployed as a tactical component of other applications. Analytics or integration solutions can leverage Embedded DV as an interface for extensibility and can pick and choose the features that matter most for their applications.

The CData Drivers provide some of the components of Embedded DV, offering a common SQL interface on top of disparate data. However, a common requirement for working with data is the ability to join data across sources. For that scenario, users can leverage CData Connect Cloud.

Benefits of Embedded Data Virtualization

• Simplified Application Development - Developers can pick multiple data processing systems and access all of them with a single SQL-based interface.
• Query Across Multiple Systems - In many ad-hoc scenarios, it is impractical to build pipelines to consolidate data. With query federation, you can write queries that combine data from different sources directly, on-demand.
• Up to 85% Faster - Faster and easier data connectivity vs. traditional data warehousing and ETL.
