The Denodo Advantage for Databricks Users

The Denodo Platform adds a unified semantic layer that standardizes data definitions, enriches metadata, and simplifies discovery. Business users and AI models can consume trusted data without requiring custom SQL or deep technical expertise—reducing friction and improving data literacy.

Not all data needs to be replicated into the lakehouse. The Denodo Platform enables real-time, live access to source systems for operational use cases such as AI agent responses, personalized services, and up-to-date dashboards—complementing Databricks’ strengths in batch and streaming analytics.

The Denodo AI SDK simplifies GenAI app development with pre-built APIs that streamline RAG workflows, LLM integration, and manage embeddings, while enforcing security and governance. It reduces custom coding, speeds time-to-value, and provides AI agents with access to trusted, context-rich data.

With the Denodo Data Catalog, non-technical users gain an intuitive interface to explore, evaluate, and request access to data across the enterprise. Integrated with Unity Catalog, it provides a unified data governance experience with built-in support for endorsements, data quality feedback, and policy enforcement.

As data sprawls across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, the Denodo Platform enforces consistent, fine-grained security and access policies—regardless of where the data resides. This enables governance and compliance to be maintained even as data landscapes grow more complex.

The Denodo Platform boosts query performance with caching, pushdown optimization, and an embedded MPP engine. FinOps dashboards and AI-assisted tuning help teams manage costs and resource usage, enabling faster insights and more value from the lakehouse—with less operational overhead.
