TDV as a semantic and security layer
Overall Satisfaction with TIBCO Data Virtualization
really great for abstraction of the queries to objects and column and row level security of elements. TDV is the layer between the application and the data storage layer that ensures proper authorization of what a user or role can read, write, or alter and handles the translation between these components into SQL statements
Pros
- abstraction
- row level security
- column level security
Cons
- user interface
- training
- documentation
- increased security
- reduction of work duplication
- increased logical transparency
has helped to democratize the data across many different islands of data stores and technologies that the masses would unlikely need or want to learn or have the permission to address. TDV unlocks a lot of this capability to through their design and aids in migrations to the cloud away from on premise by demystifying the data storage layer.
Dremio is a newer and more nimble envisioning of TDV and really scales in a more manageable and predictable way. The technology behind Dremio addresses many of the limitations in scalability and cost that we encountered with TDV in an impactful way. TDV still has a place for the translation or semantic layer, but Dremio is clearly the new improved implementation of what TDV tries to accomplish.
