Silicon Angle published an article on Dremio tackles self-service analytics with Apache Arrow-based data abstraction engine.
I liked this quote:
“Data analysis and visualization platforms like Tableau Software Inc.’s Tableau do a good job of enabling end-user reporting, but they don’t address the underlying data preparation processes, Shiran said. “The way data is managed hasn’t fundamentally changed in 30 years,” he said. Dremio is partnering with several BI firms, including Microsoft Corp., Tableau and Qlik Inc. to integrate their front-end tools with Dremio’s data management engine.”
