Denodo virtualization platform

2020: Announcement of the virtualization platform

On June 8, 2020 the Denodo company provided the virtualization platform of data in Russia.

According to the company, use of technologies of virtualization of data for June, 2020 became one of key trends in the field of data management, this step provided access in real time to separate data sources, having the different nature and provided in different formats, passing their consolidation in uniform storage.

Business does not interest as data in what form in what formats are stored. It needs data — everything that is, and the most relevant. Former architecture did not allow to provide to business all data as it is physically impossible to bring together them in a uniform repository often, besides the data which got to it quickly lose relevance. Virtualization of data comes to the rescue. It allows to create other logic level of data abstraction connected to all available to data sources and the providing access to them from data marts and other applications, providing effective management of data, their masking and security. Also virtualization of data allows to make cleaning, unification and other types of data preparation. Besides, virtualization of data allows to take data directly from those sources where they are stored, without spending any resources for their movement. Alexey Sidorov, the chief evangelist and the director of Denodo data management noted

For June, 2020 virtualization of data finds application in the most different industries. For example, the logistic companies process in real time the data which are flowing down from a set of the sensors used in warehouse economy, special equipment and a mobile equipment, combining them with data from relational databases and Hadoop storages and providing thus democratization of data that gives the chance to business users to analyze data, without resorting to the help of specialists of the data scientists level. The organizations of health sector receive online access to results of different medical researches.

Manufacturing enterprises thanks to this technology find opportunities for predictive maintenance of the objects, industrial equipment and vehicles. For example, in the company making a production equipment and special equipment for a number of the industries (construction, mining, oil and gas, railway and others), used technologies of virtualization of data to improve processes of maintenance and repairs of dump trucks which breakdowns lead to expensive idle times. Within the project the model of the predictive analysis which on the basis of the indications of sensors received in real time which are set on dump trucks and also saved up in Hadoop of data allowed to predict possible faults was developed and to plan repairs of special equipment so that breakdowns did not find it "in the field".
