Denodo Platform is an AI data layer for bringing together enterprise data that remains spread across different systems. It can query and combine data where it resides, using optimization, pushdown processing, and selective caching to limit reliance on replication. Denodo says it connects to more than 200 data sources and makes data available through SQL, REST, GraphQL, and other standard APIs. Teams can use real-time federation, selective materialization, replication through ETL, ELT, or micro-batching, and streaming. A shared semantic layer and enterprise knowledge graph organize business definitions, metrics, relationships, and metadata. Governance capabilities include row-level security, masking, identity-aware policies, lineage, and auditability. AI features include recommendations, natural-language queries, and support for retrieval-augmented generation. Platform 9.5 adds governed metric views, conversational data-view development, an expanded knowledge graph, and connectivity for Databricks, Microsoft OneLake, Fabric Lakehouse, and Iceberg. A free Developer plan is available, alongside a cloud trial and a two-hour Test Drive. Paid pricing is available on request.
