Data connectors vs. data virtualization for the cloud

With CData, you have the option of plugging data drivers directly into your apps for live access, or connecting them within a central cloud platform for data virtualization.

Data drivers & connectors

CData Drivers and Connectors offer direct, live connectivity between applications and data sources.

Features include:

  • Support for hundreds of cloud and on-premises data sources
  • Extends any application that supports common data interfaces like ODBC, JDBC, ADO.NET, etc.
  • Direct point-to-point data connectivity
  • Fully-embeddable and available for commercial distribution

Best for:

  • One specific connection point
  • On-prem or hybrid tech stack

Data virtualization for the cloud

CData Connect Cloud gives you the same powerful connectivity, plus the governance, security, and management features critical for scaling enterprises and cloud-native organizations.

Features include:

  • Supports any cloud or hybrid cloud-accessible app or service
  • Integrates with any on-prem application, as well as popular cloud applications and clients.
  • Enables IT to configure once and connect from multiple applications from within one central platform
  • Zero-maintenance data connectivity, with data source updates managed transparently

Best for:

  • Many connection points
  • Cloud-native (SaaS) tech stack

CData Drivers streamline reporting, data integration, and data management


Santa Clara University Connects to Workday to Visualize Historical Student Data

“It was going to be a real problem — pulling all this data out into Excel files, then having to join, manipulate, combine them. I'm sure if anybody works in data, you know that that process is prone to error. It would have been an unenviable process.”

— Conor Roycroft
Director of Institutional Research, Santa Clara University

Office Depot Leans on CData to 'Lift & Shift' Critical Data and Enable Analytics Integration

Technical features

Broad access to hundreds of enterprise data sources, including every accounting or collaboration tool, CRM, ERP, marketing automation platform, API, database, or data warehouse that matters to you.

Rapid data insights and agility, with frictionless access to operational data to support data scientists, business analysts, reporting, low-code developers, and other non-technical users.

Eliminate architectural complexity. Stop coding integrations against one-off API and continuously maintaining every single integration. Standards-based drivers provide a logical data layer of abstraction that shields you from the complexity of data access.

Simplify integration and speed solution delivery. CData Drivers eliminate the time and expense of integrating disparate systems allowing developers to simplify architectural complexity and build connected applications more quickly.

The data model exposed by CData Drivers can easily be customized to add or remove tables/columns, change data types, etc. without requiring a new build. These customizations are supported at runtime using human-readable schema files that are easy to edit.

CData Drivers and data connectors undergo extensive testing and are certified to be compatible with leading analytics and reporting applications like Tableau, Microsoft Excel, and many more.

*Please visit our knowledge base to access how-to articles.

All CData Drivers include a highly evolved client-side query execution engine with full support for SQL-92 operations that are not available at the data source. The drivers seamlessly handle converting SQL queries into an optimized set of instructions for each data source. Any data manipulation that cannot be pushed to the data source is handled transparently via the embedded engine.

Whenever possible, drivers include full support for read and write operations with each data source. Stored procedures are made available for data sources where APIs operations are not easily modeled around table updates.

Pushdown query optimization pushes SQL operations down to the server whenever possible, increasing performance. High-performance features include streaming forward cursors for performance and BatchAPI for efficient INSERT/UPDATES.

CData Drivers enhance the capabilities of each data source with additional client-side processing when needed to enable analytic summaries of data, such as SUM, AVG, MAX, MIN, etc.

Full support for metadata provides extensive schema discovery capabilities. Explore tables, columns, keys, and more based on user identity.

All CData Drivers include a library of 50+ functions that can manipulate column values into the desired result. Popular examples include Regex, JSON, and XML processing functions.

Secure connectivity through modern cryptography, including TLS 1.2, SHA-256, ECC, etc.
