MDACA Big Data Virtualization (BDV) is an enterprise grade MPP (massively parallel processing) federated SQL query engine supporting the connected digital infrastructure. 

Enterprise Grade, Leveraging Industry Standards

BDV provides organizations with a logical data layer that integrates enterprise data across disparate systems and manages the unified data for centralized access.

Based on the industry leading Trino.io distributed SQL query engine, MDACA BDV has been upgraded to support enterprises with advanced DoD-grade security features, additional connectors, functions, and performance optimizations. MDACA BDV also provides KeyCloak.org (supporting enterprise single-sign-on and providing user federation, strong authentication, user management, fine-grained authorization, and more) and Ranger.org (fine grained authorization to perform a specific action) as part of the baseline AMI configuration, supporting security and master data management needs.

Data Connectors

BDV data connectors are similar to database drivers, but designed to connect to support both structured and unstructured data. Unstructured data can include file types such as csv, parquet avro, etc..  Additionally BDV is fully extendable to allow the development of custom connectors meeting a wide range of advanced business needs. This allows building special adaptors for file systems and object stores, NoSQL stores, relational database systems, and custom services as building specific adapters for secure data at rest such as accessing quantum encrypted data at rest. A custom connector can be created for any data that can be mapped into relational concepts such as tables, columns, and rows. BDV comes with a number of built-in connectors for a variety of industry leading databases and query engines. Secure connectors include, but are not limited to, the following:

BDV Integration with Data Explorer

MDACA Data Explorer (DE) is a lightweight, web-based universal SQL client that allows you to query and browse any Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) compliant databases. It also provides a data connector designed for integration with BDV, expanding the power to query your data across the enterprise regardless where the data resides. All that is needed is for that data source to be connected to DBV..

Data Explorer combined with BDV enables:

• Leveraging an easy to use web-based user interface to support executing high performance data queries across multiple environments with robust Massively Parallel Processing (MPP)
• Support for Role Based Access Control (RBAC) to your data, including row and column level access security
• Easily accessible through standard Structured Query Language (SQL) and/or Web Services interfaces for virtual data utilization and sharing
• Advanced query capabilities across the enterprise

BDV Integration with Data Storage Explorer

MDACA Cloud Storage Explorer (CSE) is a web-based file explorer that is designed to allow you to manage files across a wide range of cloud storage providers through a single integrated solution. This includes: AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google GCP Cloud Storage, and SharePoint Document Libraries as well as Windows and Linux shares.

Data Storage Explorer combined with BDV enables:

• Provides the tools to support enterprise data scientists, developers, testers, and business analysts in working securely with data files located across the enterprise in datalakes and files systems.
• CSE provides one click functionality to add unstructured data (file types as csv, parquet avro, etc..) to BDV, enabling applications to query the data from the files without the need to load the data to a traditional database allowing query-based applications and tools to quickly access the data.

BDV De-Identified Data and Integration with Synthetic Data Engine

BDV out-of-the-box functionality provides the ability to specify user groups and user communities that have access only to de-identified data when querying the data. This is accomplished by adding business rules (e.g., data masking) in real-time to the data being queried while applying data access and visibility rules down to the column level. When more business and master data management policies have requirements for synthetic data, the BDV integration with MDACA Synthetic Data Engine provides advanced capabilities in supporting operations such as creating a development data environment, enhancing application testing and supporting insights testing with AI/ML development.

The Synthetic Data Engine (SDE)  is a web-based synthetic data generator designed to seamlessly create meaningful, intelligent synthetic data without compromising the privacy of corresponding sensitive, real data.The MDACA SDE leverages intelligent AI-driven synthetic data generation to create non-reversible, artificially generated data with the statistical characteristics and correlations of the real data.

BDV Integration with Policy Manager

The MDACA BDV Policy Manager is designed to provide advanced granular security access to the data being accessed/managed through the BDV platform. It fully integrates with industry leading identity management systems to provide granular security to the column and row level on a given data connector.

BDV Integration with KeyCloak

MDACA BDV is designed to work with KeyCloak and other identity management providers to provide user federation, strong authentication, user management, fine-grained authorization, and more.
