TimeXtender
Streamlining Analytics Data onto Azure

Traditionally, companies have stored data on-premises under the tight control of technology management. However, as the requirement for self-service analytics has become a greater need for corporate business users over the years, companies began searching for technology solutions to allow staff to have instant access to corporate data—while still ensuring that access is granted with control systems for security, governance, and privacy.

In other words, the challenge for companies has been, “How do we strategically manage all of our existing and future corporate data, provide self-service analytics, and take advantage of the benefits of the cloud?”

Enter TimeXtender.

TimeXtender makes the deployment of a modern data estate possible through its flagship technology platform Discovery Hub^®. And it does so in a rapid and very efficient manner.

Discovery Hub is a high-performance, data management platform, anchored on automation, that enables digital transformation. Developed with a cloud-first mindset, Discovery Hub provides a cohesive data fabric across Microsoft on-premises technology and Azure Data Services, eliminating the need to manually stitch together a patchwork of tools for data access, modeling, and compliance.

With a properly designed and managed data infrastructure, organizations are now choosing Discovery Hub to move their analytics data from on-premises to a full-scale cloud deployment. Some companies choose to have some data reside onpremises and some on Microsoft Azure, known as hybrid. Discovery Hub supports all three scenarios; cloud deployment, on-premises, and hybrid, and allows changing deployment models without changing data models.

Discovery Hub enables instant access to any type of data in the organization to support advanced analytics and artificial intelligence (AI). More than 3,000 customers worldwide have used the technology platform. Leveraging the power of automation of Discovery Hub, businesses can easily deploy their data estate onto Microsoft Azure.
