IDC estimates that the worldwide installed base of data storage capacity will grow nearly 17% in 2020 to 6.8 zettabytes (ZB), and grow at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 18% through 2024.
The right business decisions are made with accurate insights which come from a clear complete picture of your data.
What if you have access to data regardless of source, source type or location?
What if you can have a single view of the data without moving it from individual data sets, enterprise data lakes and warehouses?

In rendering data resources useful regardless of how they are deployed or where they reside, this technology reads data in place.
