Whois & Analysis for talend.com

Talend (Pronunciation: TAL-end) is a software integration vendor.

The company provides big data, cloud storage, data integration, data management, master data management, data quality, data preparation and enterprise application integration software and services.

Data integration involves combining data residing in different sources and providing users with a unified view of these data.

This process becomes significant in a variety of situations, which include both commercial (when two similar companies need to merge their databases) and scientific (combining research results from different bioinformatics repositories, for example) domains.

Data integration appears with increasing frequency as the volume and the need to share existing data explodes.

It has become the focus of extensive theoretical work, and numerous open problems remain unsolved.

In computing, Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) refers to a process in database usage and especially in data warehousing.

The ETL process became a popular concept in the 1970s.

Data extraction is where data is extracted from homogeneous or heterogeneous data sources; data transformation where the data is transformed for storing in the proper format or structure for the purposes of querying and analysis; data loading where the data is loaded into the final target database, more specifically, an operational data store, data mart, or data warehouse.

Data integrity is the maintenance of, and the assurance of the accuracy and consistency of, data over its entire life-cycle, and is a critical aspect to the design, implementation and usage of any system which stores, processes, or retrieves data.

The term data integrity is broad in scope and may have widely different meanings depending on the specific context even under the same general umbrella of computing.

This article provides only a broad overview of some of the different types and concerns of data integrity.

Cloud computing is a type of Internet-based computing that provides shared computer processing resources and data to computers and other devices on demand.

It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., computer networks, servers, storage, applications and services), which can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort.

Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in either privately owned, or third-party data centers that may be located far from the user–ranging in distance from across a city to across the world.

Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economy of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over an electricity network.
