Periscope Data launches unified platform for data warehousing and analytics.
Periscope Data is trying to make it easier for data teams to process large amounts of information from across their companies with a new cloud data warehouse service that the company announced today.
The Unified Data Platform is designed to provide a single source for companies to perform data processing, analytics, and visualization, which is important for generating insights from the information that’s tied up in business systems.
It’s supposed to solve a key problem: While companies have plenty of data about how their business is doing, it can be hard for analysts to reason over all of it, owing to a series of technical silos that makes collating and processing all that information difficult. Periscope Data’s new product helps fix that by bringing all of a company’s data into Amazon Web Services’ Redshift database.
