Knowledgent Launches Kariba to Enable Rapid and Easy Access to Enterprise Big Data
Warren, NJ (PRWEB) March 12, 2015 -- Knowledgent, the data and analytics firm, today unveiled Kariba, the innovative platform designed to dramatically enrich data lake capabilities to help enterprises leverage all of their data.
In today’s world of data-driven decision making, business data analysts and data scientists need fast and easy access to all data across the enterprise. They need to be able to use the tools of their choice to analyze data to reveal patterns, identify correlations, and gain critical insights. Meanwhile, enterprise IT managers need to efficiently introduce new data into their repository while tracking usage and ensuring that corporate rules and governance are applied to the data.
“Many enterprises think that they can dump data into the lake and be done with it, but the reality is that their users need self-serve access to the data lake to find the data they need when they need it,” said Mark Hayward, Head of Product Development, Knowledgent. “Kariba delivers this access. It eases the burden on the end users trying to find and understand the data and on the IT managers trying to govern the data. As a result, data analysts and data scientists can focus their efforts on deriving new and game-changing insights from data.”
Fast, Intuitive Search Combined with Strong Data Governance
Named after Lake Kariba, the world's largest manmade lake, Kariba provides a searchable repository of data of all different types. Kariba’s powerful keyword, faceted, and semantic search capabilities revolutionize users’ ability to quickly and accurately find not only structured data like files and tables but also unstructured data like social media posts, chat logs, and web logs.
In addition, users learn to trust and understand the data by viewing the quality and lineage of the data and through additional information obtained from the broader user community, such as reviews and common use cases. Kariba also enables users to analyze and process the data to create new data and reports to add to the data lake.
Seamless, Scalable Integration
Kariba is deployable as a fully integrated solution or as separate modules that deliver discreet functionality. The following modules can be added over time as the data lake expands:
• Rapid Ingestion: Implement a governed process for quickly and efficiently introducing data into the lake
• Guided Discovery: Enable end users to explore the data lake in business terms they understand, rapidly increasing the lake’s business value as it expands
• Agile Consumption: Allow end users to provision their own analytic workspaces to rapidly uncover analytic insights with their preferred tools and techniques
Enterprises can customize and integrate Kariba into their existing architectures through configurable workflows, developed based on Knowledgent’s extensive experience with application development within
large-scale IT deployments.
