Read MoreTeradata’s QueryGrid Vs. a Nexus Server
Teradata’s QueryGrid product is a brilliant concept that connects Teradata systems to multiple data sources for cross-system functionality. However, QueryGrid does not compare with CoffingDW’s high-speed Nexus Server. Teradata is a proprietary database, but Nexus combines all database platforms. Teradata broke barriers within the database world by allowing users to join data across several…
Read MoreData Virtualization – Webinar Recording
Virtualization allows users with no technical expertise to join data across all on-premises and cloud databases. Users can also move data from any two systems and ETL teams can migrate thousands of tables. Having a database like Yellowbrick, where billion-row tables can return an answer set in subsecond times, encryption software from Soterosoft to guarantee the security of sensitive data, and the Nexus Server to convert and migrate between systems is the perfect package.
Read MoreWebinar Today – Virtualization – The Art of War on Data
The Art of War is attributed to the ancient Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu and remains the most influential book in East Asian warfare and Western cultures. This book explains Chinese military tactics, from strategy and weapons to rank, discipline, and training techniques. What is truly unique is that Sun Tzu wrote this book in the 5th century BC. During the Sengoku period (c. 1467–1568), the Japanese daimyō named Takeda Shingen (1521–1573) became almost invincible in all battles without relying on guns because he studied The Art of War. The book even gave him the inspiration for his famous battle standard “Fūrinkazan” (Wind, Forest, Fire, and Mountain), meaning fast as the wind, silent as a forest, ferocious as fire, and immovable as a mountain. The new art of war is the Virtualization of data because the tactics allow businesses to wage war on their competition. Virtualization is the ability to join data no matter where it resides without any technical expertise, and it makes organizations fast as the changing winds of business, ferocious enough to light their sales on fire, silent to secretly understand the relationships the data is telling them, and as immovable as a mountain because their business is on solid grounding.

Read MoreVirtualization – The Electric Car of Data
Will we ever see a world where there are no longer gasoline-fueled cars on the road? Of course! Why spend money on gas and pollute the planet when you can save mother earth and spend less? Ironically, gasoline as energy will become extinct, just like the dinosaurs that produced it. Will we ever see a world where users won’t care which database system their data came from, but instead query as quickly as doing a browser search over the internet? Of course! Why spend time and money moving data to a single platform to have a single version of the truth when the truth can reside across many data sources? Ironically, users with no technical background can now join data across platforms thousands of times faster than today’s best data scientists. Virtualization is the ability to join data no matter where it resides without any technical expertise, and it is as inevitable in data as electricity is to cars!
