Pivotal, in alliance with NYSE Technologies, has launched the Pivotal Data Dispatch (Pivotal DD) solution.  Pivotal DD is a scalable and cost-effective solution offering a consolidated view of disparate data sources, self-service sandbox provisioning for reporting and data analytics.

Companies can now rapidly and securely provision structured and unstructured big data from any source to enable analytics output from data workers. With the use of Pivotal DD, businesses will now have a comprehensive system to view, manage and analyse data inside and outside the organisation.

Pivotal DD also includes these capabilities:

· Unified Data Platform views: A catalog of disparate data platforms, allowing IT to register the data platforms, define the business metadata, create security and access rules, and enforce policies

· Data Management for Hadoop and Beyond: Fast access to an enterprise data reservoir, an electronic library of files and database systems.  Systems may also include Hadoop-based platforms, data grids and cache services, MPP appliances, message queues, and internal or external clouds.

· Self-Provisioning: On-demand analytics sandbox creation with a data lease for a specified duration set by the data worker and data manager.

· Security and Access Control: Single metadata repository for unified access, security, lineage, and auditability for IT admins.

Availability and Pricing

Pivotal Data Dispatch will be available in the fourth quarter of 2013 for purchase as a standalone product, and interoperates with any enterprise data warehouse, analytics platform, or storage system.
