Tech Republic published an article on How one startup’s plan to break IT’s stranglehold on data just might work.
I liked this quote:
“Because enterprise data sits in silos across the enterprise, the primary strategy for working with it is to copy data into a central place like a Hadoop cluster, then export it to something like HPE Vertica to accelerate processing of the data (because Hadoop is dog-slow). Dremio, however, removes this need to move data around, because it virtualizes access to all of an enterprise’s different data sources. In other words, Dremio makes all enterprise data look like it’s sitting in the same place, like tables in a relational database—the paradigm that every BI tool assumes.”
