Denodo, a leader in data management, is releasing Denodo Platform 9.2, offering new intuitive functionality to Denodo Platform 9.1, released in November, 2024, that builds on the Denodo Platform’s semantic layer and logical data management capabilities.
The 9.2 update delivers a full-featured data marketplace, extended support for GenAI initiatives, and a new suite of self-service tools for the development of data products.
“By continuously evolving our capabilities in the areas of data-self service, data product development, and GenAI, Denodo is enabling enterprises to leverage data more effectively to enhance decision-making, automate complex workflows, and deliver more powerful services,” said Alberto Pan, chief technology officer at Denodo. “These innovations will put organizations at the forefront of data-driven transformation, maximizing the impact of their data investments.”
The new data marketplace features of Denodo Platform 9.2 offer an ecommerce-style user experience, supported by a comprehensive semantic layer for the most relevant business context, as well as by AI-powered automation, to streamline repetitive tasks.
With this new functionality, people with different roles throughout an organization can more quickly and intuitively explore, discover, and access data, with extended visibility into usage beyond the data layer, the company said.
The new GenAI features extend the capabilities of Denodo Platform 9.1, which brought the AI-powered Denodo Assistant and Denodo AI SDK, to streamline the development of GenAI applications.
Denodo Platform 9.2 continues to advance data management capabilities that accelerate the adoption of GenAI, so organizations can seamlessly provide AI models with AI-ready data—high-quality, well-governed data, delivered in real time.
According to the company, these new GenAI advancements include the ability to dynamically customize AI models with user-specific knowledge; enhanced support for unstructured data, to more effectively extract sentiment from social media posts or analyze images; and a new certification program specifically designed for GenAI developers.
Developers need to be able to build data products in a controlled, organized environment, and Denodo Platform 9.2 includes significant enhancements to facilitate data product development while maintaining strong data governance and optimal efficiency.
These new additions include workspace support for continuous integration/continuous development (CI/CD), enabling branch-based development for more agile collaboration across multiple teams; automated dependency analysis, to reduce errors and streamline data caching and curation; and expanded support for open table formats, to improve support for Databricks Unity Catalog, Snowflake’s Open Catalog, and other solutions across the open table ecosystem.
