Talend unveiled a new version of its Talend Data Fabric platform
that is optimized to manage cloud and multi-cloud enterprise IT
environments. Talend Summer '17 helps seamlessly manage information
across Amazon Web Services (AWS), Cloudera Altus, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and Snowflake platforms, enabling customers to rapidly integrate, cleanse and analyze data to fuel innovation and gain a competitive edge.
As
businesses continue to evolve their cloud strategies, many find that
it's imperative to use services from several different cloud providers
to deliver value across their business units. In fact, according to IDC,
more than 50 percent of IT organizations already utilize a multi-cloud
approach and another 20 percent have plans to implement [a multi-cloud
strategy] within 12 months.
"Companies
are adopting cloud platforms at an unprecedented pace and as they do
so, they are selecting different platforms to address varying business
needs," said Ashley Stirrup, CMO, Talend. "In this environment, CIOs
must design their IT infrastructure with agility to deliver in a hybrid,
multi-cloud world. Using Talend Data Fabric, companies can develop data
pipelines on any of the leading cloud platforms with peace of mind in
knowing whatever they develop will be able to run on the latest cloud
and open source innovations."
The
Summer '17 release of Talend Data Fabric allows customers to access a
rich and growing library of Talend native cloud components, using
intuitive drag-and-drop visual tools to build big data workflows that
run in nearly any cloud, almost anywhere. Adding to its already robust support for AWS, the new version of Talend Data Fabric includes new capabilities for Cloudera Altus, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, and Snowflake that allow customers to:
- Speed Multi-Cloud Pipeline Development: Talend
Summer ‘17 delivers a range of new connectors for Azure, Cloudera and
Google Cloud that span Big Data, cloud data warehousing, NoSQL, and
messaging platforms. Additionally, the newest version of Talend Data
Fabric includes the industry's first support for Cloudera Altus, a
platform-as-a-service offering that simplifies customers' construction
and deployment of intelligent data pipelines on Cloudera - minimizing
the need for operational support.
- Accelerate Migration to the Cloud: Talend
Summer '17 helps rapidly migrate on-premises data to the cloud, so
customers can simply and intuitively build cloud data warehouses, power
richer analytics, and speed time-to-insight. With this release Talend
delivers the fastest bulk loader connector for Snowflake that
accelerates data migration by up to 20X. Using data quality and visual
extract, transform and load tools, Talend reduces the time needed to
migrate on-premises and cloud data to Snowflake.
- Build Once, Use Everywhere: Talend
Summer '17 provides the flexibility and portability to take development
work designed for one cloud platform and reuse it with other cloud
platforms. This is designed to help customers rapidly adopt new
innovations in cloud services and future-proof current development work.
Consequently, businesses can rapidly combine and analyze data in new
ways to innovate faster, while reducing their maintenance and
development costs.
- Delivering Data Quality with Machine Learning at Big Data Scale: As
data stores grow, customers must find new ways to clean and combine
data at scale with even less human intervention. Talend Summer '17
utilizes Apache Spark-powered machine learning algorithms to automate
and accelerate data matching and cleansing, improving scale, performance
and accuracy. Over time, these algorithms monitor decisions made by
data curators to become more intelligent and accurate. These new
algorithms and machine learning capabilities are designed to work
seamlessly with Talend's intuitive, role-base Data Stewardship app, to
enable continuous improvement within each data quality model.
Enterprises
worldwide, across all industries use Talend together with our partners'
products to create truly data-driven solutions.
"Talend
and Snowflake have a solid partnership that continues to benefit our
joint customers," said Walter Aldana, Snowflake's vice president of
Alliances. "With Talend's newest Snowflake connector, enterprises will
see even more efficiencies when moving data into Snowflake. Talend's
architecture capitalizes on Snowflakes' parallel loading capabilities,
which enables our joint customers to easily load a diverse set of data
types so they can jumpstart their cloud data warehousing projects much
faster."
