Why data virtualization for the cloud

Ideal for quickly combining and delivering critical data for analytics, data virtualization (DV) provides live, federated data access to traditional databases, big data sources, and cloud applications within a single interface. But traditional DV tools often fall short with complex setups, lengthy deployment cycles, poor scalability, and limited SaaS connectivity.

It's time for data virtualization for the cloud.

1. Create your data connection

The CData Connect Cloud platform is designed for business. To get started, log into Connect Cloud and select one of the supported cloud applications, databases, data warehouses, or other integrations.

As a native cloud application, the platform follows standard patterns for secure cloud connectivity by supporting user-based oAuth authentication wherever possible. As a result, connecting to your desired source is typically as easy as logging into the data source's web interface.

2. Define user access permissions

Once users have created a data connection, they have the ability to define granular security controls for the data that will be made available to external clients.

3. Connect from any application or tool

After configuring data connections, users can connect to these data sources from almost any application or tool in real-time.

CData Connect Cloud includes support for standard web connections like REST and OData and database connectivity - allowing connections to appear just like a relational SQL Server database to any client.

Support critical data management initiatives

Modernize your data architecture

Move business applications, databases, and warehouses to the cloud, add a new platform that requires enterprise access, or support broader modernization initiatives like data fabric and data mesh for improved reporting.

Data enablement and sharing

Allow cross-functional teams to leverage and share data across all the different applications and reporting tools they need to solve their unique business problems.​

Virtual Datasets

Direct access to cloud data from a reporting or dev tool

Run ad-hoc reports using live data from disparate cloud tools directly within any reporting tool — without accessing that data from a warehouse. Ex. create a dashboard based on data from Pardot campaigns, opportunity data from Salesforce, or employee data from Workday.

Popular Client Applications

Self-service data exploration

Data scientists and business users can now quickly browse data models, run basic queries, explore interrelated data, and create curated data views with isolated fields for their unique reports and analytics.

Centrally manage connectivity

Enable IT to manage all data connections and data consumers across the organization. Instead of distributing connections across multiple servers for many users, each connection and user are managed from a single location..
