“Iguazio today is introducing what it calls a data platform-as-a-service, with an aim to untangle the mess of technologies that has hampered Big Data projects in large companies. The Israeli company’s Enterprise Data Cloud is essentially a software orchestra conductor that consolidates data into a repository and makes it available to many applications as files, messages, streams and other forms. Iguazio says that eliminates silos of data that are tough to access and expensive to run. Using what the company calls data containers, Iguazio’s system allows the data to be stored only once and then accessed through application programming interfaces in the form each application needs. It’s intended to be used both in corporate data centers and in hybrid private-public cloud setups.” – Robert Hof, siliconANGLE
