TDengine released a new data-sharing feature
for its popular, cloud-native time-series data platform. By introducing user
authorization to its core data subscription component, TDengine delivers simple
and secure data distribution with fine-grained access control for internal and
external stakeholders.
Precise data
access can be challenging and typically requires a second database for managing
users and a custom application to control access to data. TDengine Cloud now allows sharing of any
level of data-from an entire organization to a single topic-with specified
users or user groups with different roles. The security of your shared data is
ensured by secure tokens and encryption in flight.
"Enterprises
want to share data with key members inside and outside the organization to streamline
their processes and meet their business needs, but they need precise control of
their data to ensure that compliance and privacy guidelines are satisfied,"
said Jeff Tao, founder and CEO of TDengine. "Our data-sharing feature makes
this complex process as easy as sharing Google Docs."
Significant
features and benefits of TDengine's data-sharing solution include:
- Simple and Secure Data
Sharing: Share
your data with just an email address, and secure your data with fine-grained
limited-access control for individuals or user groups, including configurable
expiration times, data encryption, and secure access tokens.
- Instance and Database
Sharing:
Grant developer privileges for an entire instance to quickly give full access
to your internal team or grant limited access to specific database resources to
specific stakeholders. Enterprises can easily transfer data internally and
externally using the TDengine data replication feature.
- Authorized Topic Sharing: Easily and securely share
only relevant data by creating a topic with user management privileges. Use the
power of SQL to create data subscription tasks that aggregate, roll up, or
transform your data, and then share the results. You define the data to be
shared, and TDengine pushes streaming data to authorized consumers.
Data sharing is
available immediately for all TDengine Cloud customers. Learn more
