IBM Data Virtualization (original) (raw)

Overview

IBM Data Virtualization is a universal query engine that executes distributed and virtualized queries across databases, data warehouses, data lakes, and streaming data without additional manual changes, data movement or replication.

Achieve speed and simplicity

Improve performance through intelligent caching.

Reduce workload

Query data where it resides, including data lakes, minimizing movement and copies.

Capitalize on end-to-end data governance

Leverage cataloging technology to ensure queries are run on high-quality, valid data.

Cut costs with independent scaling

Gain independent scaling of compute and storage with zero downtime.
