Denodo at U-M is a data virtualization and data integration platform in use at the University of Michigan.
What is Data Virtualization?
Data virtualization uses a simple three-step process — connect, combine, consume — to deliver a holistic view of enterprise information to business users across all of the underlying source systems.
Denodo at U-M can connect to many different kinds of data sources and then combine, aggregate, or join and filter these data sources and present the results in multiple formats.
- Connect, introspect and govern any data source with zero data replication.
- Combine and Integrate into business data views
- Consume and secure data views in multiple formats.
Benefits of Data Virtualization with Denodo
- Easy access to all types of data
- Full data integration and data modeling capabilities
- Fast intelligent execution of data queries
Within a Denodo virtual database, a data publisher can connect to a wide variety of data sources — relational databases, APIs, spreadsheets, websites, flat files, document databases, etc. — and combine, aggregate, filter, and join the data to create easy to understand views. When these views are queried directly or through report-generation software such as Tableau, the queries are run against the data source itself, providing real-time information.
