Digital Realty Selects Denodo to Rapidly Deliver Insights Across Business Systems

San Francisco, CA, June 7, 2016 - Denodo, the leader in data virtualization software, today announced that Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: DLR), a leading global provider of data center, colocation and interconnection solutions, has selected the Denodo Platform for data virtualization to speed time-to-value and improve data sharing among systems. Using data virtualization, Digital Realty is implementing a two-prong approach: to replace ETL code with more efficient and agile integrations of data across its business systems, and to create a data services fabric for internal and externally facing applications. 

“Denodo’s ability to rapidly deliver integrations across business systems, and then service those standardized views for internal applications and business users is significant,” said Paul Balas, VP, Business Intelligence, for Digital Realty. “Our business moves at the speed of our customers, so understanding both their behaviors and needs and then delivering world-class solutions is our goal. By leveraging Denodo’s technology we will have the agility needed to deliver on this mission.”

Traditional tools, such as ETL for business intelligence, and service-oriented architectures are no longer capable of handling the needs of today’s digital environment as each requires too much specialized knowledge and is brittle to change. The Denodo Platform delivers significant cost advantages through its fast development speed and ability to adapt to dynamic business requirements. Providing a data abstraction layer across multiple, distributed, heterogeneous repositories, the company’s technology generates integrated business data in real-time or near real-time as needed by consuming applications, business processes, analytics, or business users. Denodo will meet all of the performance needs of Digital Realty and allow them to apply the technology to both analytical and operational use cases in order to help them achieve their business goals.

“Data virtualization is a more agile data integration style that presents relevant, interrelated data, in real-time and in a consistent format irrespective of underlying database systems, structures and storage,” said Ravi Shankar, CMO at Denodo. “We have helped customers to reduce their integration costs by as much as 80 percent, and to use data as a strategic tool to better run their businesses. We are thrilled to have been selected by Digital Realty and look forward to providing them with a more agile data integration style that can deliver business-critical information in a timely fashion across the enterprise.”
