Gluent Data Platform
Move Your Data from Oracle Database to the Cloud with No Code Rewrites
What is a Data Platform?
Data is growing exponentially and if your data platform has been around for a while, chances are your data is growing on-prem in a traditional data platform such as Oracle or SQL Server. While these legacy data platforms handle ingestion, data storage, data processing and analytics much like newer Cloud Native Data Platforms such as Google BigQuery, Snowflake, and Azure Synapse, they are underpinned by monolithic, expensive infrastructure that is not easily scalable or performant. Older RDBMS such as Oracle and SQL Server also often lack the newest advances in Analytics, such as embedded AI/ML or benefit from PaaS functionality that the cloud provides such as automatic updates/patching, cloud security, and DevOps automation.
Key Components:
Although it is relatively easy to migrate data from one data platform to another, the components that leverage code, such as data processing and reporting/analytics, require a significant manual effort to convert the business logic that makes the data so valuable to your enterprise.
Gluent conceived the idea of transparent data virtualization to help customers connect their legacy data platforms like Oracle with their Cloud Native Data Platforms of the future. Now, within days, companies can reduce their dependence on expensive, on-prem data platforms, while benefiting from modern cloud native platforms for their scalability and cost efficiency. No expensive code conversion has to take place, and data model creation and data movement are all handled for you automatically. Gluent Data Platform has now been implemented at some of the largest finance, telecom, retail, and healthcare customers around the world!
Benefits of Offloading Data to Cloud-Native Big Data Platforms:
Performance
- For every query, billions of rows can be easily scanned with high parallelism using cluster hardware and software
- Only relevant columns and rows will be returned to the database for further processing
- These efficiencies improve your query performance and free-up your expensive enterprise database and SAN storage resources
Future-Proofing with No Lock-In
- Gluent Offload Engine offloads data to cloud native platforms, meaning that you will not be locked in
- Choose from and use multiple data engines to process your data
- Gluent Data Platform gives you the freedom to use any application for processing: one data, many engines
- No data conversion or export/import is needed when using new engines
- You finally own your data and are in control of its future
Transparency
- Gluent Query Engine does not require any changes to your existing application code
- No need to port your applications or edit those 20,000 reports accumulated by your business over the years
- As no application redesign is needed, Gluent Data Platform is the fastest and safest option for moving your data and workloads to the cloud

What are the Different Data Platforms?
Answering this question is key to choosing the right solution. It requires evaluating your data management lifecycle and matching solutions to that evaluation. Although the number of solutions is too numerous to list here, the services provided by the largest vendors can help determine the landscape.
Oracle, Microsoft, Teradata, Google, and Amazon all have data platform solutions to review. Oracle Cloud’s big data platform is a viable solution, but not the only one. Microsoft offers its Azure platform, and both Teradata and Google provide cloud-based services to fit the bill. Amazon is probably one of the most popular via its AWS platform.
Choosing the right solution is challenging. That’s why it often pays to rely on data experts that can help guide your decision and help you migrate to the right solution. At Gluent, we have that expertise and are ready to help you implement your optimal data platform. Contact us today to get started.

Encrypted data at rest, data in motion and role based access control are fully supported.
Gluent Offload Engine automates offloading data from enterprise databases to cloud native platforms. You can have an up-to-date copy of your data, in a familiar data model, ready for analytics in a cloud native platform.
Use Gluent Offload Engine’s Offload software to:
- Copy database tables to cloud native platforms and keep them synchronized
- Automatically offload colder data while caching extremely active data on your relational database
- Convert data to cloud-based column-oriented storage for space savings and partitioned for optimal query performance
- Access offloaded data without any application changes

Gluent Query Engine is the core building block of our product offering. It is the underlying engine that allows access to both the database and offloaded data in a single query. SQL queries are still executed by the original applications in their usual databases with no modifications. Under the hood most of the processing is pushed to cloud native platforms.
Because we want to offload a significant amount of your databases’ reporting, batch, and analytic heavy-duty processing to cloud native platforms, we need to understand the running SQL statements and their execution plans intimately.
We have gone to great lengths to develop a product that extracts detailed information about your SQL statements in real time, direct from database engine memory. For the database geeks, we are talking about column projection, filter predicates, bind variables and even table join conditions and aggregations.
Gluent Offload Engine allows your relational databases to query tables and views of any cloud-native data, including tables offloaded from other databases.
Use Gluent Offload Engine’s Present function to:
- Present any data source to your relational databases
- Access the presented data (hybrid tables) using native SQL
- Utilize cloud-native platform resources for filtering, aggregations and joins of presented data
- Have on-demand access to data and avoid traditional data movement (ETL)

Single command database offloading. No need to hire ETL developers.
Data is no longer stored in proprietary format. You finally own your own data!
