AtScale is the leading provider of intelligent data virtualization for big data analytical workloads, empowering citizen data scientists to accelerate and scale their business’ data analytics and science capabilities and ultimately build insight-driven
AtScale connects people to live disparate data without the need to move or extract it, leveraging existing investments in big data platforms, applications and tools. AtScale creates automated data engineering using a single set of semantics so consumers can query live data (either on premise or in the cloud) in seconds without having to understand how or where it is stored—providing security, governance and predictability in data usage and storage costs.
Benefits:
No data movement: AtScale is agnostic to data platforms and data location, whether on-premises or in the cloud, in a data lake or a data warehouse.
Automatic “smart” aggregate creation: AtSacle’s intelligent aggregates adapt to the data model and how it is used, automating the data engineering tasks required to support those activities and reducing time spent from weeks to hours.
Use your existing BI and AI tools: AtScale provides access to live, atomic-level data without the user needing to understand where or how to access the data, so you can keep using your tools of choice.
No more extracts or shadow IT: AtScale eliminates the need for extracts with a single, consistent, governed view of live data, regardless of which BI and AI tools are used.
Data-as-a-service: AtScale allows metadata to be created once, with centrally defined business rules and calculations, exposing data assets as a service.
Data platform portability: Models built in AtScale are portable, with no need to recreate them for different platforms. AtScale can easily be repointed to new data platforms, making migration seamless to business users.
Faster time-to-insight: AtScale reduces time-to-insight from weeks and months to minutes and hours. AtScale virtual models can be created and deployed in no time, with no ETL or data engineering.
Future-proof your data architecture: AtScale alleviates the complexities of data platform and analytics tool integration, making cloud, hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud data architectures a reality without compromising performance, security, agility or existing governance and security policies.
Features:
Design CanvasTM: AtScale’s Design Canvas visually and intuitively connects to any data platform, allowing you to create virtual multidimensional cubes without ETL.
Autonomous Data Engineering: Just-in-time query optimization that anticipates the needs of the data consumer.
Universal Semantic LayerTM: A workspace with a Design Canvas for your data consumers to define business meaning and get a single-source-of-truth.
Security & Data Governance: Centralized security policy to decentralize access using the tenants of Zero Trust.
Virtual Cube Catalog: A gateway to data that is easily discoverable and frictionless—and available to use every day, en masse.

Netwrix Data Classification automatically discovers and classifies sensitive and regulated data across file systems, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Exchange, OneDrive, databases, and other cloud and on-premises environments. As a core component of Netwrix data security posture management (DSPM), it enables organizations to understand where sensitive data resides, who has access to it, and how it is exposed.
The solution uses advanced content analysis and customizable classification rules to identify personally identifiable information (PII), financial data, intellectual property, regulated records, and other sensitive content. Classification tags are written directly to files and metadata, enabling integration with data loss prevention solutions, access governance controls, and security monitoring tools.
Netwrix Data Classification also supports automated remediation workflows. Organizations can move sensitive files to secure locations, adjust access permissions, redact sensitive content, apply labels, and identify redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data for cleanup. By combining data discovery, effective permissions analysis, and automation, it helps reduce data exposure and strengthen compliance with regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.
Key use cases
• Discover sensitive and regulated data across hybrid environments
• Identify overexposed data by analyzing effective permissions
• Remediate data risk with automated policy actions and workflows
• Identify and clean up redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data
• Protect intellectual property with content-based classification and tagging
• Support compliance with predefined classification rules aligned to regulatory standards
• Strengthen data loss prevention effectiveness with embedded classification tags
We monitor all Data Governance reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. We validate each review for authenticity via cross-reference with LinkedIn, and personal follow-up with the reviewer when necessary.
