Overview

Accelerating Insights

IBM Data Virtualization is a universal query engine that executes distributed and virtualized queries across databases, data warehouses, data lakes and streaming data without additional manual changes, data movement or replication.

Features

Unify, govern and accelerate data

Preview all connected data sources from a single interface and gain a complete view of distributed information. Automatically discover and match tables across systems, then query them as a single object, reducing complexity and simplifying access to connected data.
