Denodo announced the availability of a
free Test Drive environment on Microsoft Azure. Following on the heels
of its recently announced Test Drive on AWS, the newest Denodo Test
Drive empowers users to quickly and easily create real-time data
delivery without replication and explore the benefits of using the Denodo
Platform on Azure. Denodo Test Drives are completely free of charge

Built on Azure, the Test Drive lets individuals discover, explore,
prepare, and access data in a user-friendly interface for true
self-service. The Denodo Test Drive solves some of the most pressing
challenges faced by data scientists and data analysts by enabling them
to integrate large volumes of data to support their agile BI, big data
analytics and Web/cloud integration objectives.
"Microsoft's commitment to offer an ecosystem of cloud solutions makes
it ideal for Denodo's data virtualization Test Drive," said Ravi
Shankar, CMO, Denodo. "In under an hour, we provide individuals with the
ability to support a broad range of use cases and achieve true
information agility by delivering a simplified, unified, and integrated
view of trusted business data in real time or near real time as needed
by the consuming applications, processes, analytics, or business users.
More specifically, the Test Drive demonstrates how organizations can
realize faster access to all data, reduce replication and cost, and to
be more agile to change."
Denodo provides a private sandbox environment containing a preconfigured
solution that demonstrates how data
virtualization brings agility and flexibility to self-service BI and
analytics. In under an hour, and using a step-by-step guide, users will
experience how to quickly take advantage of performing advanced
analytics using multiple data sources such as Microsoft SQL Data
Warehouse, Azure Databricks, Azure Database for MySQL, Azure Data Lake,

Paul Maher, General Manager of Industry Experiences, Microsoft said,
"Companies are rapidly adopting cloud technologies to store data and to
gain greater agility and scalability. We are pleased to see Denodo
provide organizations with a quick and easy way to integrate data across
