Breaking Barriers in Big Data Analytics with SQream and Denodo

As companies increasingly rely on data for insights and a competitive edge, and as that data grows in volume, the need for efficient, scalable, and cost-effective data processing becomes paramount. Enter the strategic partnership between SQream and Denodo—two industry leaders combining forces to offer an integrated solution that transforms the way enterprises handle big data analytics and ML pipelines.

This partnership is more than a technological collaboration; it’s a suite of capabilities designed to streamline data processing, enhance performance, and reduce costs. With the Denodo Platform and SQream’s NVIDIA GPU-accelerated analytics engine, customers can seamlessly integrate, process, and manage massive datasets at unprecedented speeds, unlocking new insights and opportunities.

The Challenges of Big Data Analytics

Organizations often face bumps in the road when trying to manage and analyze big data:

  1. High costs: Storing, processing, and analyzing large datasets can be prohibitively expensive, particularly when using traditional on-premise or cloud-based solutions that rely on CPU-driven architectures. These expenses can escalate before you can blink, especially as you scale your data operations.
  2. Slow processing times: The sheer size and complexity of today’s datasets can translate to slow query response times, meaning insights are sometimes obsolete and unsuitable to use for business decisions. When your organization needs to take time-sensitive action, these delays can result in missed opportunities and mediocre outcomes.
  3. Complex data management: Companies often struggle to effectively unify and manage data from disparate sources and systems, and this complexity hinders the ability to extract meaningful analytics.
  4. Scalability issues: As data grows, so does the need for a scalable solution that can handle the increased workload without compromising performance. Traditional data processing tools often fall short here, and then you’re stuck trying to mitigate bottlenecks and inefficiencies.

The Power of Partnership: SQream and Denodo

SQream and Denodo recently formed a strategic partnership that brings together the best of both worlds: The Denodo Platform’s logical data management capabilities and SQream’s GPU-accelerated analytics engine. This joint venture offers a comprehensive solution that streamlines our customers’ data workflows, accelerates their query performance, and reduces their costs—all while maintaining robust data governance.

The Denodo Platform: Data at the Speed of Business

The Denodo Platform accelerates data unification and delivery for all business data needs. Through data virtualization, it unifies data silos, without the need to physically move or replicate data. The Denodo Platform provides a layer of intelligence above an organization’s data assets, choosing the optimal delivery method for the best performance.

The Denodo Platform enables businesses to create a unified view of their data, making it easier to manage and analyze information from different sources. With the Denodo Platform, organizations can:

  • Access data from anywhere: The Denodo Platform supports connectors to hundreds of different databases, enabling users to access and query data from a variety of  sources in a single interface.
  • Improve data agility: The Denodo Platform creates virtual data services, which lets organizations quickly respond to changing business needs. With this flexibility, businesses can adapt data strategies on the fly, for a competitive edge.
  • Enhance data governance: The Denodo Platform provides a robust framework for enforcing data quality and security standards, so data remains accurate, compliant, and secure across the organization.
  • Accelerate Query Performance: The Denodo Platform provides AI-powered query acceleration, aggregates-aware query rewrites, and pushdowns, caching, and materialization. It has the intelligence to apply the most effective optimization for a given query, given the different characteristics of each individual data source involved in each query.

When managing complex analytics, scaling to extremely large datasets, while increasing efficiency, however, some companies lack the infrastructure to provide optimal performance. This is where SQream comes in.
