    Overview

    Infoworks is the only solution providing complete functionality in a single platform from data ingestion, data synchronization and the building of data models and cubes

    Scale your data warehousing and analytics on Hadoop, not by adding armies of people but instead by using advanced machine intelligence

    Infoworks is the complete Data Warehousing solution, eliminating the need to integrate multiple disparate point solutions. Infoworks helps organizations lower their EDW costs now and make business users even more successful.
    Infoworks is the only solution providing complete functionality in a single platform from data Ingestion, data Synchronization and the building of data models and cubes. Infoworks achieves all this by automatically crawling and synchronizing data from all data sources, dynamically adapting to schema/data changes and automatically organizing the data sets for high performance query access.


    The traditional structured relational data warehouse was never designed to handle the volume of exponential data growth, the variety of semi-structured and unstructured data types, or the velocity of real time data processing. Microsoft's SQL Server data warehouse solution integrates your traditional data warehouse with non-relational data and it can handle data of all sizes and types, with real-time performance.
