Description

The data refinery tool, which can be accessed through IBM Watson® Studio and Watson™ Knowledge Catalog, significantly reduces the time spent on data preparation by swiftly converting extensive volumes of raw data into high-quality, usable information suitable for analytics. Users can interactively discover, clean, and transform their data using more than 100 pre-built operations without needing any coding expertise. Gain insights into the quality and distribution of your data with a variety of integrated charts, graphs, and statistical tools. The tool automatically identifies data types and business classifications, ensuring accuracy and relevance. It also allows easy access to and exploration of data from diverse sources, whether on-premises or cloud-based. Data governance policies set by professionals are automatically enforced within the tool, providing an added layer of compliance. Users can schedule data flow executions for consistent results and easily monitor those results while receiving timely notifications. Furthermore, the solution enables seamless scaling through Apache Spark, allowing transformation recipes to be applied to complete datasets without the burden of managing Apache Spark clusters. This feature enhances efficiency and effectiveness in data processing, making it a valuable asset for organizations looking to optimize their data analytics capabilities.

Description

For more four decades, IRI CoSort has defined the state-of-the-art in big data sorting and transformation technology. From advanced algorithms to automatic memory management, and from multi-core exploitation to I/O optimization, there is no more proven performer for production data processing than CoSort. CoSort was the first commercial sort package developed for open systems: CP/M in 1980, MS-DOS in 1982, Unix in 1985, and Windows in 1995. Repeatedly reported to be the fastest commercial-grade sort product for Unix. CoSort was also judged by PC Week to be the "top performing" sort on Windows. CoSort was released for CP/M in 1978, DOS in 1980, Unix in the mid-eighties, and Windows in the early nineties, and received a readership award from DM Review magazine in 2000. CoSort was first designed as a file sorting utility, and added interfaces to replace or convert sort program parameters used in IBM DataStage, Informatica, MF COBOL, JCL, NATURAL, SAS, and SyncSort. In 1992, CoSort added related manipulation functions through a control language interface based on VMS sort utility syntax, which evolved through the years to handle structured data integration and staging for flat files and RDBs, and multiple spinoff products.
