Chartio Brings Plug and Play Data Visualization to Windows
Chartio, an emerging provider of cloud-based data aggregation and visualization software, has added support for Microsoft SQLServer and Azure to its flagship offering. The two solutions join an already lengthy list of supported platforms, among them MySQL, PostgresSQL, Amazon Web Services, Amazon Relational Database Services, Rackspace Cloud, Heroku, Google Analytics and Oracle.
Chartio’s service lets users integrate, analyze and visualize data using connectors that take only a few hours to deploy. Analysts can leverage the built-in interface to view streaming data, or use custom queries to drill down into specific data points and isolate trends in a certain month, quarter or week.
“Having a system like Chartio that connects directly to our Microsoft SQLServer database, is not only essential for our business, but a no-brainer for the business intelligence community at large,” said J.J. Mancini, the president of Desert Fuels. “Chartio made a normally onerous and difficult process of connecting to a Microsoft SQLServer database, simple.”
Chartio makes data more accessible for business users, the very same benefit Splunk and Pentaho are offering with their new integrated solution. Pentaho Business Analytics and Splunk Enterprise couples the former’s machine data analysis software with the latter’s visualization technology to help decision makers “access, explore, analyze and visualize machine data to extract real, actionable information.” The combined solution supports Hadoop, NoSQL. enterprise application data and relational databases. It also introduces ad hoc analysis functionality that lets users answer specific questions in near real time.
The two companies launched their platform shortly after SnapLogic released its newest connector. The “Snap” integrates Tableau’s visualization service with over 160 data sources, including social networks and popular enterprise services such as Salesforce.
