Comprehensive data virtualization

CData Virtuality enables modern data architectures that democratize the data for business users while meeting strict requirements for security, data governance, and data lineage. The data virtualization platform supports a semantic layer in which data from various sources is made accessible through the virtual schemas and views in SQL.

The semantic layer creates a central data access point for all data consumers in a secured and governed environment. With searchable metadata, business users can easily find and work with their data for improved analytics and reporting.
