Rick Whiting
Data is an increasingly valuable asset for businesses and a critical component of many digital transformation and business automation initiatives. Here’s a look at 10 tools in the big data space, from cloud data platforms and next-generation databases to advanced data integration and transformation technologies, that really caught our attention in 2022.

Dremio Cloud, Sonar And Arctic
The Dremio Cloud data lakehouse went live in March, providing a way for data analysts, data engineers and data scientists to tap into huge volumes of data for business analytics, machine learning and other tasks. The cloud-native service is based on the Dremio SQL Data Lake Platform, which includes a query acceleration engine and semantic layer, and works directly with cloud storage systems.
The Dremio Cloud lakehouse is available in a commercial enterprise edition that provides advanced security controls, including custom roles and enterprise identity providers, and enterprise support options. A free standard edition of the service is also offered.
At the same time as the Dremio Cloud launch Dremio debuted Dremio Sonar, a new release of the company’s SQL query engine that powers the cloud lakehouse system. The company also has offered previews of Dremio Arctic, a new metadata and data management service that will work with Dremio Cloud when it’s generally available.
