Talend Unveils New Data Fabric Platform for Enterprise-Scale Self-Service
Talend,
a global leader in big
data and cloud
integration solutions, today released the newest version of Talend
Data Fabric, a powerful platform
designed to meet the integration needs of both developers and business
users whether their applications are on-premises or in the cloud.
Talend's platform now features enterprise-grade support for Data
Preparation, a solution that shaves hours off the collection and
analysis of data, helping speed time to business insight. The latest
version of Talend
Data Fabric also includes new capabilities for Talend Big
Data and Talend
Integration Cloud, which empower IT to derive greater benefits from
corporate data lakes and cloud resources, while maintaining security,
compliance and peace of mind.
"It's well understood that companies must become data-driven in order to
compete, yet there are still several major barriers preventing
businesses from making data an organization-wide core competency," said
Ciaran Dynes, vice president of products, Talend. "Talend Data Fabric
delivers a governed, fully integrated data platform that empowers IT to
deliver self-service capabilities so business workers get full access to
the information they need, without putting information at risk or
undermining compliance."
Talend Data Preparation Commercial Edition The commercial
version of Talend
Data Preparation moves beyond the short-range capabilities of
today's point solutions by enabling true collaboration between IT and
business workers. Employees become 'information brokers' with the
freedom to prepare and analyze data themselves, helping speed time to
insight, while IT is able to maintain data security and governance.
Most data preparation solutions only allow a specific group of
data-savvy users to access information stores. In contrast, Talend
Data Preparation enables enterprise-wide, self-service data access
and collaboration. By combining intuitive data preparation capabilities
with proper IT oversight; ultimately, Talend paves the way for
information to be used more quickly and broadly to enable data-driven
decision-making.
The commercial version of Talend
Data preparation also helps companies:
-
Control the use of information through role-based access to shared
data stores
-
Deliver data preparation tools at enterprise scale with support for
hundreds of information sources
-
Perform smart sampling and iterative updates to master datasets
-
Foster collaboration between business users, allowing each employee to
evolve their role from a data consumer into a data provider, by
sharing datasets
-
Accelerate time-to-insight with one click by incorporating master data
into any integration workflow, including batch, bulk, and master data
management.
"The biggest challenge with self-service anything is governance.
Self-service data preparation has been happening for many years in 'name
your favorite spreadsheet software'," said Stewart Bond, research
director for IDC's (News - Alert) Data Integration Software Practice. "But
governance issues drove a need for better solutions. Desktop
self-service data preparation software is providing a better alternative
to spreadsheets, but more value will be realized when centralized
governance and control is applied to self-service."
Talend Big Data The latest version of Talend
Data Fabric also adds innovations to Talend
Big Data that help companies operationalize and get more value out
of corporate data lakes. With Talend
Data Mapper, a tool that maps complex data formats, and machine
learning, companies can now easily analyze massive data sets to help
identify patterns in data and translate them into new business
opportunities. Using data lakes properly can help businesses gain a
360-degree view of each customer, resulting in more targeted marketing,
improved customer intimacy, optimized pricing, better demand
forecasting, identification and prevention of fraud detection.
Talend Integration Cloud Furthering
Talend's 'all-in' support for Amazon Web Services (AWS), the new
version of Talend
Data Fabric includes Secure Socket Layer (SSL) communication between
data integration jobs in Talend
Integration Cloud and Amazon
Redshift, which ensures increased security when accessing
mission-critical data. Additionally, customers can now encrypt Amazon
S3 data on the client-side as well as server-side to guarantee the
security of data in motion and data at rest. Using Talend
Integration Cloud, IT can also inherit
credentials from identity and access management tools to ensure that
only authorized users can spin up/spin down Amazon
S3 clusters, helping reduce costs incurred through 'rogue' cluster
usage. Companies can also control costs by changing the number of
cluster nodes used for different Amazon
EMR or Amazon
Redshift workloads dynamically. Finally, Talend's new Amazon
DynamoDB connector allows customers to read directly from Spark
jobs, speeding workload processing for high-throughput.
Availability Customers that license the newest version of Talend
Data Fabric will receive two seats for Talend
Data Preparation at no additional cost, as well as access to the Talend
Integration Cloud Sandbox and Talend
Data Quality.

version of Talend Data Fabric, customers can register
