Denodo Releases Data Virtualization 6.0 at Gartner BI Summit

Denodo Technologies has announced the release of Denodo Platform 6.0, its data virtualization software, at the Gartner Business Intelligence & Analytics Summit 2016 in Grapevine, Texas. The new version introduces advancements designed to improve performance and accelerate data access for various use cases including big data, logical data warehousing, and operational scenarios.

The latest release incorporates support for cloud data sources like Redshift and a Spark adapter for big data processing. Key features of Denodo Platform 6.0 include dynamic query optimization for faster data handling, self-service capabilities and data discovery tools for business users, and enhanced support for large-scale deployments with workload management and monitoring tools. A redesigned graphical user interface is also intended to improve user experience and accessibility to data.

Denodo's data virtualization technology integrates data from disparate sources without replication, creating a unified virtual data layer. This approach allows companies to expedite decision-making, reduce time-to-data, and boost the productivity of business users by providing unified access to information. The methodology also aims to reduce data replication costs and increase agility in data management.

Denodo will further present the features of the 6.0 release at the upcoming Fast Data Strategy Virtual Summit later in March. The company positions data virtualization as a critical component for information agility, enabling real-time or near real-time data access for consuming applications and users.
