Analytics query accelerators provide SQL or SQL-like query support on a broad range of data sources. They are most frequently used as a means of providing interactive and production-optimized delivery on semantically flexible data stores that do not inherently have the capabilities to provide sufficient performance or ease of use on their own. Commonly used in conjunction with data lakes, they aim to support BI dashboards, interactive query capabilities, data modeling and other analytics use cases.
The data integration tools market comprises stand-alone software products that allow organizations to combine data from multiple sources, including performing tasks related to data access, transformation, enrichment and delivery. Data integration tools enable use cases such as data engineering, operational data integration, delivering modern data architectures, and enabling less-technical data integration. Data integration tools are procured by data and analytics (D&A) leaders and their teams for use by data engineers or less-technical users, such as business analysts or data scientists. These products are consumed as SaaS or deployed on-premises, in public or private cloud, or in hybrid configurations.
