Enterprise
  • Dedicated and highly available instance with flexible scaling of compute.
  • One highly available Data Virtualization instance with a minimum of 3 head and 3 worker nodes. Head nodes have 8 vCPU and 32 GB RAM per node. 4 vCPU per head node are allocated to service management and monitoring and are not included in the Virtual Processor Core-Hour charge. Worker nodes have 4 vCPU and 32 GB RAM per node. Data Virtualization is available on IBM Cloud Pak for Data as a Service.
  • Minimum configuration: 3 head and 3 worker nodes consuming 24 Virtual Processor Core-Hour (VPC-H) per hour.
  • Head node: 8 vCPU + 32 GB RAM = 4 Virtual Processor Core-Hour (VPC-H) per hour.

Summary

For decades, companies have tried to break down silos by copying data from different operational systems into central data stores for analysis, such as data marts, data warehouses and data lakes. These methods can be costly and are prone to error. Most struggle to manage an average of 33 unique data sources, which are diverse in structure and often trapped within inaccessible data silos. With Data Virtualization, you can query data across many systems without having to copy and replicate it, saving time and reducing costs. Data Virtualization queries data from its source, simplifying your analytics by providing the latest and most accurate data.

Features and capabilities

Access current data

Get up-to-date analytics across distributed data sources, with no need to store data outside of your data center. Experience a single data repository where your SQL applications can connect and run.

Unprecedented speed

Leverage networked devices for polynomial processing gains. Automatically self-organize your data nodes into a collaborative network for computational efficiency. Define constellations with large or small data sources.

Security and privacy

Data is never cached in the cloud or on other devices. Credentials for your private databases are encrypted and stored on your local device.
