ThinkData Works Launches First-to-Market Automated Warehouse Discovery Solution for Rapid Data Sharing and Management

thinkdata-works-launches

ThinkData Works Inc., a leading data catalog provider, is launching a first-to-market solution that will accelerate time to value for its adopters. Customers will be able to automatically gather metadata from their preferred warehouse environment, in addition to automatically scanning and virtualizing multiple datasets within minutes, enabling streamlined sharing and management of data.

ThinkData Works' new warehouse discovery solution offers businesses a seamless way to access virtualized data and metadata from multiple warehouses in a single unified data catalog. This cutting-edge tool provides customers an efficient, centralized way to quickly locate, explore, and analyze critical business data from diverse sources. Accessing decentralized data from a single source of truth eliminates massive burdens that slow down innovation and hamper the productivity of business analysts and data science teams. As an added benefit, the risks and costs associated with data duplication and replication are minimized by managing access via ThinkData Works’ catalog platform.

Furthermore, the warehouse discovery solution provides improved compliance and governance by maintaining data residency. Leveraging the solution's automated data virtualization and metadata harvesting capabilities, users can tap into data directly from warehouse storage platforms without re-ingestion or relocation. As a result, customers benefit from greater security and control over their data without compromising regulatory compliance.

“The research is proven: juggling multiple data solutions is costly and ineffective. Modern organizations need fewer points of failure and more robust data management,” said Bryan Smith, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of ThinkData Works. “We’re thrilled that our new warehouse discovery solution will help our clients maximize the value of their data. This makes it easier and faster to get insights out of information, and that’s ideal.”

“Introducing automated data virtualization and metadata harvesting capabilities to an already-powerful catalog gives business owners and their networks both data and metadata, plus the management and monitoring tools on our platform, in essentially one click,” adds Lewis Wynne-Jones, VP Product of ThinkData Works. “Beyond saving time and cost, it’s a massive win for data culture and democratization. Real-time connections to virtualized data also means enhanced decision-making — better access leads to better insights.”

Leostream Enhances Security and Management of vSphere Hybrid Cloud Deployments

Business Wire | January 29, 2024

Leostream Corporation, the world's leading Remote Desktop Access Platform provider, today announced features to enhance security, management, and end-user productivity in vSphere-based hybrid cloud environments. The Leostream platform strengthens end-user computing (EUC) capabilities for vSphere users, including secure access to both on-premises and cloud environments, heterogeneous support, and reduced cloud costs. With the Leostream platform as the single pane of glass managing EUC environments, any hosted desktop environment, including individual virtual desktops, multi-user sessions, hosted physical workstations or desktops, and hosted applications, becomes simpler to manage, more secure, more flexible, and more cost-effective. Significant ways the Leostream platform expands vSphere’s capabilities include: Security The Leostream platform ensures data remains locked in the corporate network, and works across on-premises and cloud environments, providing even disparate infrastructures with the same levels of security and command over authorization, control, and access tracking. The Leostream platform supports multi-factor authentication and allows organizations to enforce strict access control rules, creating an EUC environment modeled on a zero-trust architecture. Multivendor/protocol support The Leostream platform was developed from the ground up for heterogeneous infrastructures and as the connection management layer of the EUC environment, the Leostream platform allows organizations to leverage vSphere today and other hypervisors or hyperconvergence platforms in the future as their needs evolve. The Leostream platform supports the industry’s broadest array of remote display protocols, including specialized protocols for mission-critical tasks. Consistent EUC experience The Leostream platform enables IT to make changes to the underlying environment while ensuring the end user experience is constant, and to incorporate AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or OpenStack private clouds into their environment without disruptions in end-user productivity. By integrating with corporate Identity Providers (IdPs) that employees are already familiar with, and providing employees with a single portal they use to sign in, the Leostream platform offers simplicity to users too. Connectivity The Leostream Gateway securely connects to on-prem and cloud resources without virtual private networks (VPNs), and eliminates the need to manage and maintain security groups. End users get the same seamless login and high-performance connection across hybrid environments including corporate resources located off the internet. Controlling cloud costs The Leostream Connection Broker implements automated rules that control capacity and power state in the cloud, allowing organizations to optimize their cloud usage and minimize costs, such as ensuring cloud instances aren’t left running when they are no longer needed. The Connection Broker also intelligently pools and shares resources across groups of users, so organizations can invest in fewer systems, reducing overall cost of ownership. “These features deliver a streamlined experience with vSphere and hybrid or multi-cloud resources so end users remain productive, and corporate data and applications remain secure,” said Leostream CEO Karen Gondoly. “At a time when there is uncertainty about the future of support for VMware’s end-user computing, it’s important to bring these options to the market to show that organizations can extend vSphere’s capabilities and simultaneously plan for the future without disruption to the workforce.” About Leostream Corporation Leostream Corporation, the global leader in Remote Desktop Access Platforms, offers comprehensive solutions that enable seamless work-from-anywhere environments for individuals across diverse industries, regardless of organization size or location. The core of the Leostream platform is its commitment to simplicity and insight. It is driven by a unified administrative console that streamlines the management of users, cloud desktops, and IT assets while providing real-time dashboards for informed decision-making. The company continually monitors the evolving remote desktop landscape, anticipating future trends and challenges. This purposeful, proactive approach keeps clients well-prepared for the dynamic changes in remote desktop technology.
