What Spotfire Data Virtualization is
Spotfire Data Virtualization, offered as Spotfire Enterprise Advanced Data Services, lets teams query data across distributed sources without replicating it first. It supports SQL, scheduled queries, result caching, API access, and row-level security. The data virtualization datasheet describes more than 300 adapters, with additional connections through JDBC, ODBC, ADO.NET, REST, and SOAP APIs. Business users can find and share curated datasets through a self-service directory. Deployment options include on-premises, private or public clouds, and containerized environments such as Kubernetes and Docker. The service can be cloud hosted or self-hosted, with web, Windows, Linux, and API platforms listed. Security features include authentication, authorization, encryption, fine-grained access controls, traceability, and uniform policies across sources. Query execution uses cost- and rules-based optimization. Spotfire Enterprise also supports sharing analytical assets, bookmarks, and tags across workflows. The product is paid, with pricing on request, and there is no free plan. A trial offers 30 days of Spotfire Industry Pro, including Spotfire and Statistica. Downloading installers requires an Enterprise Spotfire Account associated with a product purchase.
