Summary

CData provides real-time access to various file storage applications, including Amazon S3, Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, and others. The company's data storage connectors offer relational models of the storage application itself, allowing users to analyze usage, determine staleness, and perform actions like creating new buckets or folders. Additionally, CData provides options for authenticating with 250+ supported platforms, including JSON, XML, CSV, Parquet, SAS Data Set & SAS xpt file formats. The company's connectors create a relation model of the data stored in files, enabling users to easily drill down into attributes and build data models from a single table or multiple related tables representing nested objects and arrays in JSON documents. CData also offers three options for drilling into nested Parquet files: Document modeling, Flattened Documents, and Relational modeling, each with its own benefits and use cases. With self-service solutions and real-time connectivity, CData empowers organizations to get deep, actionable insights into their systems and data files.
