Discovery and TDV
Discovery works with Studio and TDV. Using Discovery with TDV, you can define complex models comprising multiple data sources and SQL views, and create a TDV view based on the model.
Creating a TDV view from a Discovery model lets you take advantage of TDV’s key features:
Data virtualization presents data as if it were available from one source, regardless of how it is physically distributed across data silos. Query optimization and caching provide low latency performance without physical replication.
Data abstraction simplifies complex data by transforming it from its native structure and syntax into reusable views and Web services.
Data federation securely accesses diverse operational and historical data, combining it into more complete and meaningful information for a range of applications to consume.
