From all the vendors evaluated to enable Active Data Architecture.
This is understandable, since Denodo has been developing and strengthening its data virtualization capabilities, a key technology in Active Data Architecture, for almost 25 years. Starting out as a data integration vendor with strong metadata management capabilities, Denodo branched out into the larger sphere of logical data management, and now supports such features as universal semantic layers, full-featured data catalogs, and the secure, governed delivery of data over APIs.
