Poll Question:
What is your familiarity with Data Virtualization as a means to data integration?

6
Data – Like Oil – Is Not Easy To Extract and Use
Although If Not Properly Managed, Can Lead to Waste!

7
But the Data is Somewhere in Here…

A Typical Cloud Journey – Why data services matter even more!

Interesting Dimensions of Data in your Cloud Journey!
Yes, but..
 New data silos
 Security
 Latency
Your Sources in the Cloud
 SaaS apps: SFDC, Social Media,
etc.
 Cloud RDBMS: Amazon RDS,
Azure SQL Database, etc
 Cloud Analytics: Snowflake,
Amazon Redshift, SparkSQL
Why?
 More flexible
 Access from Anywhere
 Lower Cost of Operations
Challenges
• Data is in many locations, data formats,
Cloud, on-premise, SaaS..
• Simple tasks become more challenging
as the data gets more dispersed
• How do users know what data is
available? find and access the data?

Why Cloud Modernization and How Does Data as a Service fits in?
Modernize Your Applications, Drive
Growth and Reduce TCO, by migrating
them to the cloud to maximize the use
of cloud infrastructure scaling
capabilities and cost structure.
Enable companies to leverage data as
an API services layer to accelerate the
development of the cloud native
microservices architecture
Driving continuous & agile business
transformation to derive faster and
valuable insights in form of Analytics
and ML/AI in the Cloud
Data as a service (DaaS) - hybrid data management strategy that leverages cloud to deliver data storage,
integration, processing, and/or analytics services over the cloud backbone.

Data Virtualization in the API Ecosystem (Enabling DaaS)

APIs(Application Programming Interface) – Building Blocks of Digital Transformation
APIs are the foundations of digital transformation
 Enable the integration of diverse IT systems, building
more collaborative and self-service IT environments
 Enables exposing data and processes to other
business units and/or partners
 Create revenues from existing assets, and support
creation of new products and business models
These initiatives have created an API Economy

18
Data Services Layer (Data API)
A data access layer that abstracts underlying data sources and exposes them as
discrete services to form a ‘data API’
 Different users and developers across the enterprise can access data in a secure and managed
fashion and share a common data ‘model’
 Provides secure and managed access to data across the enterprise
 Provides consistency of data & hides complexity, format, and location of actual data sources
 Supports many consumption protocols and patterns
Example: Single data access layer for all development teams to avoid ‘hunting down
and interpreting data differently by project’

Data Virtualization in the API Ecosystem
Data virtualization platforms like Denodo
can play a significant role in an API
ecosystem without writing NEW CODE
Let’s review three common architectures:
1. Data Virtualization as a Data Service
provider
2. Data Virtualization as an abstraction
data layer for Microservices
3. Data Virtualization as an API
Management tool

Denodo abstracting SaaS APIs – As API Consumer
SQL Enable any kind of SaaS API
 SaaS-to-SQL: DV abstracts the SaaS API (usually
REST services) as part of a relational model
 Real Time access: avoids replication of Cloud
data back into the data center
 Unique relational approach to cloud data
integration
 Different from most flow-based iPaaS vendors

Ways to maximize Data Virtualization in a DaaS model
Data Service provider Abstraction data layer for Microservices API Management Tool

23
Denodo as a Data Service Provider
• Connect – Combine - Publish: {Rest}
one-click REST web services
deployment, establishing the REST
practices
‒ Protocol: Denodo’s REST format, OData 2.0
and OData 4.0, GraphQL
‒ Payload: XML, JSON, GEOJSON, RSS and
HTML
‒ Authentication: Basic HTTP, SPNEGO
(Kerberos), OAuth, (SAML)
‒ Documentation: OpenAPI (i.e. Swagger)

24
Denodo API provider
Denodo as Service Container
 Create services - no code/low code
 Host services (aka ‘Services Container’)
 Expose services as APIs
 Support contract first architecture
GraphQL support:
 Used as an abstraction layer between UI and REST services
 Decreases number of API requests
 Removes orchestration from the UI
 Denodo can provide declarative execution
API Gateway

Denodo as Integration Layer for Microservices
Simplify Composite and Backend for Frontend (BFF)
Microservices
Leverage Denodo’s data management services
 Caching, security, auditing, data cleansing, resource
management, …
Combine Data
 Transform and combine data from different sources
Better Usability
 Single point of entry
 Same protocol
 Global Data Catalog

27
Denodo as abstraction data layer for Microservices
Denodo can serve as an abstraction between the microservice implementation and the data access to
simplify its development
 It enables technology changes in the backend without affecting the code of the Microservice (e.g.
legacy system migrations, vendor switch, etc.)
Microservices principles avoid performing data integration at the Microservice itself
 Using DV as a backend enables the independence of the Microservice from the integration
techniques
 The integration logic is performed in the DV layer in the form of virtual views
Although potentially each Microservice could have its own DV backend, a logical separation per
microservice (a schema) is usually a more realistic architecture

Data Virtualization in the Data Services / API ecosystem

29
Denodo as an API Management Tool
Since external APIs and web services can be registered in Denodo as data sources, Denodo’s
capabilities can act as a sort of API gateway:
 Centralized authentication and authorization
 Monitoring and access auditing
 Resource allocation policies (e.g. max 10 queries per hour for user A to service)
 Unified catalog
 API integration
However, keep in mind that is not an API gateway per se, and there are capabilities in API gateways
that don’t have an equivalent in Denodo (Network Security, Load Balancing…)

Denodo API Gateway
Denodo as API Gateway
 Expose services as APIs

Drillinginfo Delivers Rapid Time-to-Market with Data
Virtualization
Drillinginfo is the leading SaaS and data analytics company for energy exploration
decision support, helping the oil and gas industry achieve better, faster results.
Drillinginfo services more than 3,200 companies globally from its Austin, Texas-based
headquarters.
▪ Business growth driving need to
develop new tools and models.
▪ Rapid time-to-market is crucial.
▪ Conventional Enterprise Data
Warehouse fed by ETL was not fast
enough for the data needs of the
development team.
▪ Needed a cost-effective solution to
reduce time to value.
▪ Raw data in the Data Warehouse and
refined data in MDM are virtually
connected using Denodo.
▪ Data Virtualization Layer combines the
views and exposes them as RESTful
services to the Analytics and Decision
Support applications internally.
▪ Provided search indices for external
clients that were building their own
apps based on these services.
▪ So far built 24 services around 11
core line of business entities.
▪ Response time cut to hours. Earlier it
took 2-3 days for ETL process to finish
and 2 more days to build data
interface.
▪ Now just 1 developer managing the
entire virtualization process.
▪ Saved Drillininfo precious time and
resources to achieve the primary
benefit of rapid time-to-market for
their products.
