Chapter 4. Data Virtualization

Data virtualization is available as a Technology Preview feature in Red Hat Integration 2019-12. Data virtualization is a container-native service, based on the Teiid open source project, that provides integrated access to a range of data sources, including relational databases, MongoDB, and Salesforce, through a single uniform API.

Applications and users connect to a virtual database over standard interfaces (OData REST, or JDBC/ODBC) and can use SQL to interact with the integrated data in the same way that they would interact with a single relational database.

Important

Technology Preview features are not supported with Red Hat production service-level agreements (SLAs) and might not be functionally complete. Red Hat does not recommend implementing any Technology Preview features in production environments. This Technology Preview feature provides early access to upcoming product innovations, enabling you to test functionality and provide feedback during the development process. For more information about support scope, see Technology Preview Features Support Scope.
