“Voracity” Discovers, Integrates, Migrates,
Governs, and Analyzes Big Data
Innovative Routines International (IRI), The CoSort Company, has
unveiled an affordable data management platform called Voracity to
streamline information architectures and help enterprises leverage
the intrinsic value of data without the cost or complexity of
multiple tools.
Voracity packages data discovery, integration, migration,
governance, and analytics in an Eclipse GUI (IRI Workbench), and
processes data in CoSort, and Hadoop MR2, Spark, Storm or Tez
engines. Bloor Group’s Eric Kavanagh said Voracity “consolidates
critical enterprise data management activities, and offers some
significant advantages for ETL architects, data scientists, data
security teams, and CIOs. It’s a well thought-out platform.”
IRI VP David Friedland explained that Voracity “addresses the
volume, variety, velocity, veracity, and value challenges in
developing insights” from data, and can manipulate, mask, munge and
mine structured, semi-structured, and unstructured sources “in one
pane of glass.”
Voracity workflows include: ETL and SQL jobs, slowly changing
dimensions and change data capture reports, data masking and test
data generation, data cleansing and unification (MDM), database
platform and schema migrations, offline reorgs, statistical
analyses, and complex transforms. Data targets can simultaneously
be: persistent or federated tables and files, formatted reports,
hand-offs to analytic tools (including in-memory BIRT feeds), and
custom procedures.
Voracity users can create and manage their metadata and
manipulations in: interactive wizards, dialogs, syntax-aware script
and form editors with dynamic outlines, visual workflow and
transformation diagrams, or spreadsheet-style ETL specifications in
the cloud with AnalytixDS Mapping Manager. ADS-IRI metadata
compatibility also facilitates automatic conversion of legacy ETL
tools to Voracity.
Collaborative data curation is another benefit. “Multiple
stakeholders can co-manage the data lifecycle in the same Eclipse
ecosystem, while sharing and tracking master data and metadata
changes in cloud repositories like EGit," observed Lisa Mangino,
IRI Sales Director. "Voracity’s familiar GUI and simple, batchable
scripts avoid skill gaps that plague competitors, and accelerate
onboarding, SLA delivery, compliance, and digital business’
time-to-value,” she added.
