Mozart Data is the all-in-one modern data platform that makes it easy to consolidate, organize, and analyze data. Start making data-driven decisions by setting up a modern data stack in an hour - no engineering required.

Instantly reveal the order hidden within your complex data world, and always know exactly where to look for answers. Datakin automatically traces data lineage, showing your entire data ecosystem in a rich visual graph. It clearly illustrates the upstream and downstream relationships for each dataset. The Duration tab summarizes a job’s performance in a Gantt-style chart along with its upstream dependencies, making it easy to find bottlenecks. When you need to pinpoint the exact moment of a breaking change, the Compare tab shows how your jobs and datasets have changed between runs. Sometimes jobs that run successfully produce bad output. The Quality tab surfaces critical data quality metrics, showing how they change over time so anomalies become obvious. Datakin helps you find the root cause of issues quickly – and prevent new ones from occurring.

IBM watsonx.data integration is a data integration platform designed to help organizations transform raw data into AI-ready data at scale. The platform enables data teams to build, manage, and optimize data pipelines across multiple environments, including on-premises systems and hybrid or multi-cloud infrastructures. With a unified control plane, watsonx.data integration supports multiple integration styles such as batch processing, real-time streaming, and data replication within a single solution. The platform also offers no-code, low-code, and pro-code development options, allowing both technical and non-technical users to design and manage data pipelines efficiently. By simplifying data integration workflows and reducing reliance on multiple tools, watsonx.data integration helps organizations deliver reliable data for analytics and AI applications.

Aggua is a data fabric augmented AI platform that enables data and business teams Access to their data, creating Trust and giving practical Data Insights, for a more holistic, data-centric decision-making. Instead of wondering what is going on underneath the hood of your organization's data stack, become immediately informed with a few clicks. Get access to data cost insights, data lineage and documentation without needing to take time out of your data engineer's workday. Instead of spending a lot of time tracing what a data type change will break in your data pipelines, tables and infrastructure, with automated lineage, your data architects and engineers can spend less time manually going through logs and DAGs and more time actually making the changes to infrastructure.

Dremio delivers lightning-fast queries and a self-service semantic layer directly on your data lake storage. No moving data to proprietary data warehouses, no cubes, no aggregation tables or extracts. Just flexibility and control for data architects, and self-service for data consumers. Dremio technologies like Data Reflections, Columnar Cloud Cache (C3) and Predictive Pipelining work alongside Apache Arrow to make queries on your data lake storage very, very fast. An abstraction layer enables IT to apply security and business meaning, while enabling analysts and data scientists to explore data and derive new virtual datasets. Dremio’s semantic layer is an integrated, searchable catalog that indexes all of your metadata, so business users can easily make sense of your data. Virtual datasets and spaces make up the semantic layer, and are all indexed and searchable.
