What Virtual Data Platform is
Virtual Data Platform (VDP) provides organizations live access to enterprise data across systems, networks, and organizations without copying it into a warehouse or lake. Queries run against source systems, with results combined in an in-memory sandbox for each user. Its low-code Modeler creates reusable Virtual Datasets from Functions, Code Files, Models, and Value Lists. Users can work with datasets through Excel, Power BI, Python, R, and MCP-capable AI assistants. Listed integrations include SAP, Snowflake, Salesforce, Workday, SQL Server, SharePoint, ODBC, OData, Oracle, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, and Dynamics 365. Users sign in with Microsoft Entra ID, and queries apply source-system permissions under the requesting user's identity. The maker describes outbound-only gateway connections, TLS on every connection, encrypted payloads, and results held in memory rather than persisted to disk. The service is described as GDPR-aligned and hosted in the EU on Microsoft Azure; the maker says it makes no certification claims today. A Dedicated tier offers a dedicated backend cluster and Azure Private Endpoints. The product was founded in 2021 and is headquartered in Gröbenzell, Germany. A free trial is offered in an isolated tenant, with no duration stated. Pricing is available on request.
