About Denodo
What is Denodo?
Denodo is a powerful platform to manage and utilize data more effectively. The Denodo Platform allows access and integration of all data, no matter where it is stored or in what format. By using advanced technology called “data virtualization,” Denodo reduces the need to duplicate data and ensures consistent security and governance. This platform makes it easier for IT teams to manage data, whether on-premises or in the cloud, and enables users to choose the tools they prefer for analyzing data. Denodo features real-time data integration, smart query acceleration, and automated cloud management, making it easy to use and providing fast query responses.
Where can I access Denodo?
Access Denodo by using the Denodo Login on the Datahub home page.
What is a virtual database?
A virtual database is a data management system that lets users access and query data from multiple sources as if they were all part of one single database. By using a technique called "data virtualization", a virtual database system creates a unified view of your data, so you don't have to copy or manually combine data from different databases. This means a user can easily get the information they need from various sources through one simple interface, making data management and analysis much more efficient.
What is a Denodo Virtual Database Administrator?
A VDB administrator is a member of a college or department and is responsible for assisting with the request and setup of a virtual database for their unit. The virtual database is where administrators and developers make connections to data sources and developers build virtual integrated data sets. Administrators also assist in managing the roles and permissions to the virtual data sets. Administrators should be familiar with database tables, views, and roles.
How do I identify my Virtual Database Administrator?
If your unit already has a Virtual Database Administrator, and you do not know who to work with, AITS can help identify the person(s) who are members of your VDB Administration active directory (AD) group.
If your unit does not already have a Virtual Database, and you do not know who the VDB Admin would be, AITS will collaborate closely to determine who could be a VDB administrator for your unit.
What is a Denodo Developer?
A Denodo developer builds virtualized data sets from one or many data sources, allowing consumers to access and analyze data. Denodo developers often possess the technical ability to write queries, transform data, optimize performance, design data models, and understand business intelligence & data warehousing concepts.
What is a Denodo Consumer?
A Denodo consumer uses virtualized data sets to query, visualize, and analyze data. Denodo consumers may use various tools to connect to developed data sets to create reports, dashboards, and data models to make decisions, track progress, and improve processes.
What is Denodo Design Studio?
Design Studio is the interface for developers who create different types of elements like data sources, base view, derived views, published web services, and more.
For more information, see the question and answer section of the Denodo Community.
What is the Denodo Data Catalog?
The Data Catalog is a web-based self-service tool included in the Denodo Platform that lets both technical and business users query, search and browse information and metadata stored in a Virtual DataPort server. With this tool, users can generate new knowledge and pave the way to make better decisions.
For more information, see the Data Catalog user manual on the Denodo Community site and the Denodo Data Catalog Tutorial on the Data Community site.
What is the Denodo Scheduler?
Denodo Scheduler allows the scheduling and execution of data extraction and integration jobs, as defined on the different modules of the Denodo Platform.
For more information, see the Denodo Scheduler Administration guide and the User Manuals’ Creating and Scheduling Jobs section.
