Zaloni Data Platform v5.2 Release Accelerates Data Value with New Augmented Catalog and Consumption Features
In addition to availability in the Azure Marketplace, Zaloni has announced the latest release of the Zaloni Data Platform, v5.2.

Data Ingestion Directly From the Data Catalog
Previously, Zaloni expanded the data catalog beyond the data lake to include data from relational data sources in both cloud and on-premises environments, helping companies conquer their data sprawl challenges. In v5.2, users can easily catalog data from any relational database and then ingest that data into a data lake (on-premises or cloud) in just a few simple clicks. This feature allows users to catalog data wherever it resides and then take action upon the data directly within the data catalog, reducing reliance on IT. In addition to ingestion, users can provision the data to a target destination of their choice. Once data is ingested, an entity is created and lineage is tracked, providing traceability and improving data confidence.
Governed Data Provisioning and Augmented Data Catalog
Zaloni’s unique approach for end consumers to provision trusted data in an intuitive shopping cart interface is a critical capability of its augmented data catalog. In v5.2, Zaloni has expanded data provisioning to include data and custom analytics sandboxes. The analytics sandboxes include the data, tools, and an environment in which data can be analyzed, helping data analysts spend more time on analytics and less time on finding, preparing and provisioning data. Additionally, Zaloni added the ability for companies to define a “request-approval” workflow in the provisioning process where data consumers are required to request permission from data owners before provisioning the data. This feature provides an added layer of control and governance and easily integrates with ticketing systems, such as ServiceNow.
