Progress® DataDirect® Hybrid Data Pipeline is a light-weight software service that provides simple, secure access to cloud and on-premises data for business intelligence tools and applications. Client applications can use ODBC, JDBC, or OData to access data from a broad range of data stores. Requests from client applications are translated into the format supported by the underlying data store – SQL, NoSQL, Big Data, cloud – and returned in the format accepted by the client. Communications in HTTP and HTTPS are supported. In addition to supporting connectivity to a wide range of relational and non-relational database management systems, Hybrid Data Pipeline supports connectivity to REST sources with a built-in Autonomous REST Connector. Moreover, third-party connectors can be integrated with Hybrid Data Pipeline, expanding the range of data stores to which the service can connect.

Key Features

  • Standards-based connectivity - Use ODBC, JDBC, or OData to access data stores hosted in the cloud and on-premises
  • Multitenancy - Host multiple tenants from a single, physical instance of Hybrid Data Pipeline
  • Cloud deployment - Host Hybrid Data Pipeline from the cloud for access to cloud and on-premises data stores without requiring a VPN or other gateway
  • On-premises deployment - Host Hybrid Data Pipeline on-premises for access to cloud and on-premises data stores
  • Single-node deployment - Run Hybrid Data Pipeline on a single node where it receives queries directly from client applications, or run a single node behind a load balancer
  • Cluster deployment - Run Hybrid Data Pipeline on multiple nodes behind a load balancer for increased availability and scalability

Main Components
