Alation Cloud Service

Alation has been expanding its original data catalog software into a broad platform for a range of enterprise data intelligence tasks including data search and discovery, data governance, data stewardship, analytics and digital transformation.

In April the Redwood City, Calif.-based company extended those capabilities to the cloud with its new Alation Cloud Service, a comprehensive cloud-based data intelligence platform that can connect to any data source—in the cloud or on-premises—through cloud-native connectors.

The new cloud offering, with its continuous integration and deployment options, provides a simple way to drive data intelligence across an organization’s hybrid architecture with lower maintenance and administrative overhead and faster time-to-value.
