Denodo, the leader in data virtualization, announced that Gartner, Inc. had positioned the company as a “Leader” in its 2020 Magic Quadrant in the data integration tools category. According to Gartner, leaders are well-positioned against their present vision for tomorrow. The report states, “The data integration tools market is seeing renewed momentum driven by urgent requirements for hybrid/multi-cloud data management, augmented data integration and data fabric designs.”

Looking at the current Gartner survey, the report stated that in 2020, “traditional data integration has shifted from being solely focused on bulk/batch dominance for delivery in the market.” Additionally, “the telling metric for this year is that more than 50% of the surveyed organizations stated that they need their data integration tool to support ‘seamless combination of and switching between these different data delivery styles.’”

The customers at Denodo use the data virtualization application style mainly to distribute integrated data easily to its business users without having to replicate the data, which may slow down the data delivery.

The latest release of Denodo Platform Version 8.0 comes with different innovative capabilities, such as data science automation using AI/ML, hybrid/multi-cloud integration, API/microservices enhancements, and hyper-performance that enhances the use of the data virtualization platform designed for advanced logical data fabric architectures.

“We believe that Denodo’s placement in the Leaders quadrant confirms the importance of data virtualization as a modern data integration style. More importantly, we believe it mirrors how Denodo customers are seeing tremendous value in our innovations in the areas of machine learning-enabled data catalog, smart query acceleration, and automated infrastructure management for hybrid and multi-cloud scenarios,” said Ravi Shankar, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Denodo. “Our latest release of the Denodo Platform enables the logical data fabric architecture by including a new and redesigned web-based user interface, single sign-on integration, query acceleration using pre-calculated summaries, support for GraphQL, and many more.”
