Dremio delivers lightning-fast queries and a self-service semantic layer directly on your data lake storage. No moving data to proprietary data warehouses, no cubes, no aggregation tables or extracts. Just flexibility and control for data architects, and self-service for data consumers. Dremio technologies like Data Reflections, Columnar Cloud Cache (C3) and Predictive Pipelining work alongside Apache Arrow to make queries on your data lake storage very, very fast. An abstraction layer enables IT to apply security and business meaning, while enabling analysts and data scientists to explore data and derive new virtual datasets. Dremio’s semantic layer is an integrated, searchable catalog that indexes all of your metadata, so business users can easily make sense of your data. Virtual datasets and spaces make up the semantic layer, and are all indexed and searchable.
