that&#8217;s powering these technologies is software and data. \u00a0The movement towards software started with software-defined servers or <a href=\"http:\/\/searchservervirtualization.techtarget.com\/definition\/server-virtualization\" target=\"_blank\">server virtualization<\/a>, but it didn&#8217;t stop there. \u00a0Now there is <a

href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/2014\/02\/software-defined-enterprises-future\/\" target=\"_blank\">Software-Defined Enterprises<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This week there was an announcement of another software-defined technology. \u00a0Metanautix, a company focusing on big data analytics, launched <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BMBSQ13HW_w\" target=\"_blank\">Quest 2.0<\/a>, a product that they&#8217;re calling a <a href=\"https:\/\/metanautix.com\/product\/#sddm\" target=\"_blank\">software-defined data mart <\/a>(SDDM). \u00a0The standard definition of a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Data_mart\" target=\"_blank\">data mart<\/a> is an access layer to\u00a0a data warehouse which\u00a0provides users with access to a slice\u00a0of the data in the data warehouse. \u00a0What&#8217;s different about the Quest product is that to create the data mart you don&#8217;t need to move data into a centralized system. \u00a0It&#8217;s done by building\u00a0a data mart with\u00a0existing virtualization infrastructure like VMware.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ovum.com\/authors\/tony-baer\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tony Baer<\/a>, principal analyst at Ovum, said that &#8220;Metanautix enables organizations to simplify the querying of disparate sources of data whether it\u2019s stored in Hadoop, MongoDB, CouchDB, Salesforce, or other sources. \u00a0The data compute engine is not only able to federate data integration with query, but it also offers high performance analytics through SQL and BI tools like Tableau or Eclipse.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Key features of the Metanautix Quest 2.0 product include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Secure data access to a slice of the entire company dataset<\/li>\n<li>Auditability<\/li>\n<li>Caching and Snapshotting<\/li>\n<li>Scaling with support for multi-node clusters<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div
