Johannesburg, 29 Jan 2020
SPI, the African distributor for utility software products and services to the open systems segment of the IT industry and the sole sub-Saharan Africa distributor for USA-based Innovative Routines (IRI), today announced the latter’s IRI Voracity data management platform will run on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Voracity in OCI will enable modern PaaS and SaaS options for SME and enterprise customers seeking faster, more affordable and highly secure cloud execution of ETL jobs, plus data masking and synthesis, data quality and migration, and data wrangling for analytics.
OCI is a cloud built to run critical enterprise applications with unmatched performance, security and cost. Oracle’s Generation 2 Cloud is the only delivery platform for Oracle Autonomous Database, the industry's first and only self-driving database. Oracle Cloud provides a comprehensive cloud computing portfolio, from application development and business analytics to data management, integration, security, artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain.
Voracity is a data management software stack built on Eclipse and powered by the decades-proven and -enhanced IRI CoSort data manipulation program. Voracity combines: data discovery (profiling, classification and search); data integration (ETL, CDC, SCD); data and database migration; data governance (data cleansing, masking and subsetting, master data and metadata management); and analytics (embedded BI or data wrangling) for sources large and small, structured and unstructured. Voracity can also run many jobs seamlessly in Hadoop.
Voracity can process Oracle Autonomous Database data, including in both transactional and data warehouse repositories, plus a wide range of other Oracle and third-party database options. Voracity in OCI runs on Oracle Autonomous Linux for added reliability and security from the self-updating, self-securing operating system. “This collaboration with Oracle will give users moving EDW, data lake and production analytic projects to the cloud the speed, security, savings and SLAs they need,” commented David Friedland, IRI Senior Vice-President.
