AWS Glue
AWS Glue is a fully managed data integration solution that simplifies the process of discovering, preparing, and merging data for purposes such as analytics, machine learning, and application development. By offering all the necessary tools for data integration, AWS Glue enables users to begin analyzing their data and leveraging it for insights within minutes rather than taking months. The concept of data integration encompasses various activities like identifying and extracting data from multiple sources, enhancing, cleaning, normalizing, and consolidating that data, as well as organizing and loading it into databases, data warehouses, and data lakes. Different users, each utilizing various tools, often manage these tasks. Operating within a serverless environment, AWS Glue eliminates the need for infrastructure management, automatically provisioning, configuring, and scaling the resources essential for executing data integration jobs. This efficiency allows organizations to focus more on data-driven decision-making without the overhead of manual resource management.

DataBuck
Big Data Quality must always be verified to ensure that data is safe, accurate, and complete. Data is moved through multiple IT platforms or stored in Data Lakes. The Big Data Challenge: Data often loses its trustworthiness because of (i) Undiscovered errors in incoming data (iii). Multiple data sources that get out-of-synchrony over time (iii). Structural changes to data in downstream processes not expected downstream and (iv) multiple IT platforms (Hadoop DW, Cloud). Unexpected errors can occur when data moves between systems, such as from a Data Warehouse to a Hadoop environment, NoSQL database, or the Cloud. Data can change unexpectedly due to poor processes, ad-hoc data policies, poor data storage and control, and lack of control over certain data sources (e.g., external providers). DataBuck is an autonomous, self-learning, Big Data Quality validation tool and Data Matching tool.

SAS Federation Server
Establish federated source data identifiers to allow users to connect to various data sources seamlessly. Utilize a web-based administrative console to streamline the management of user access, privileges, and authorizations for easier oversight. Incorporate data quality enhancements such as match-code generation and parsing functions within the view to ensure high-quality data. Enhance performance through the use of in-memory data caches and efficient scheduling methods. Protect sensitive information with robust data masking and encryption techniques. This approach keeps application queries up-to-date and readily accessible to users while alleviating the burden on operational systems. You can set access permissions at multiple levels, including catalog, schema, table, column, and row, allowing for tailored security measures. The advanced capabilities for data masking and encryption provide the ability to control not just who can see your data but also the specific details they can access, thereby significantly reducing the risk of sensitive information being compromised. Ultimately, these features work together to create a secure and efficient data management environment.
