Description
Hybrid data stacks create duplication and delay: mainframe records, on prem apps, and cloud platforms often end up with mismatched copies, brittle ETL, and long lead times for “just one more feed.” Moving large datasets for every use case is slow, costly, and expands the security surface.
Rocket® Data Virtualization™ is a data virtualization and federated query solution that enables a governed, virtual data model across mainframe, distributed, and cloud sources—so BI tools, analysts, and applications can query sensitive data in place.
Key capabilities:
• Federated SQL queries/joins across heterogeneous sources with pushdown
• Standard connectivity (e.g., JDBC/ODBC/REST) for BI, analytics, and apps
• Virtual views/semantic layer to simplify access and reuse logic
• Centralized security controls, auditing, and masking (where supported)
• Optional caching/materialization to balance performance and freshness
Result: faster time to data with less ETL and lower migration risk.
