Denodo has announced the launch of its Agora managed SaaS solution on the AWS Marketplace.
Agora, described as a fully managed data management service, aims to ease the deployment and maintenance burdens typically associated with data platforms. By providing streamlined deployment, flexible pricing options, and automated maintenance, Agora intends to support businesses in gaining real-time data insights and making agile data-driven decisions.
Shanmuga Sunthar Muniandy, Director of Data Architecture & Chief Evangelist, APAC, Denodo, highlighted the utility for APAC organisations, stating, "APAC organisations with access to AWS Marketplace can now seamlessly integrate, manage, and analyse their data at scale with Agora. This solution empowers businesses to accelerate their cloud adoption, drive real-time insights, and make data-driven decisions with agility, all while reducing the complexities of operational overhead."
The availability of Agora in the AWS Marketplace is designed to simplify access for users, allowing them to quickly activate and utilise the solution. It includes a variety of deployment options such as free trials and consumption-based pricing, facilitating cost-effective scalability and allowing IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives.
Suresh Chandrasekaran, Executive Vice President at Denodo, commented on the ease of access now offered, noting, "With Agora on the AWS Marketplace, it's easier than ever for organisations to harness the full potential of their data with the scalability, agility, and cost-efficiency of a managed SaaS solution."
Additionally, Denodo has been recognised as a leader in the 2024 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools for the fifth consecutive year. This recognition, according to Denodo, is attributed to its capability, extensive partner network, and customer loyalty.
Ravi Shankar, Senior Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at Denodo, reflected on the recognition, saying, "The data integration market is evolving to include advanced AI and GenAI capabilities, and Denodo is leading the charge. We are very proud that Gartner Magic Quadrant has recognised us again for the past five years as a Leader in Data Integration Tools. This gives us the confirmation of our unique strength in simplifying and accelerating data integration in this complex, dynamic age."
Shanmuga Sunthar Muniandy also emphasised the importance of advanced data management tools in the APAC region, noting, "as AI adoption accelerates in the APAC region, with countries like Singapore already establishing themselves as a regional powerhouse, more than ever businesses will need future-forward data management tools. We are humbled by Gartner's five-year-strong recognition of the value Denodo brings companies in their data integration journey."
This continued recognition highlights Denodo's efforts to support AI-ready ecosystems with trusted, integrated data, reflecting the ongoing demand for self-service data management capable of reducing manual intervention.
Feedback from Denodo customers has been positive, with one data enablement manager in a miscellaneous industry commenting on the platform's efficiency in connecting various data sources, and a product owner in manufacturing praising the intuitive interface and documentation.
