How our ETL solution Works
An ETL solution is an integral part of any organization’s data integration strategy. Extract, transform, and load is a process to blend data from multiple source systems, convert it into a consistent format, and get the data loaded into a target database. By providing a consolidated, 360-degree view of data, ETL tools make ETL jobs faster and enable business users to stay on top of the changing market dynamics and make smarter decisions at the right time.
Extract
Extract data from multiple heterogeneous or homogeneous sources into one place for massaging and transformation.
The parallel-processing engine of Astera Centerprise splits large data sets into smaller subsets that are processed in parallel to ensure high-speed integration, regardless of the data size and format. Our ETL solution, Astera Centerprise’s extensive library of connectors, makes the process of data extraction completely code-free, offering business users great usability in data management.
Transform
Transform data using Astera Centerprise’s intuitive drag-and drop interface and view output at any point to instantly find and correct problems within their data pipelines.
Choose from an extensive range of transformations for flat and hierarchical data processing, data merging, change data capture, reference lookups, and more.
String one or more of these transformations together to build powerful dataflows and orchestrate them into a workflow.
Load
