CoSort Tools Speed ETL and DB Operations

ETL tools specialize in job design and data mapping, but not in large data movement or transformation. Databases focus on storage and retrieval. Meanwhile, large sort, join, and aggregation jobs may run slowly, and subsequent tasks like loading, analytics, queries or reports may run slowly or require separate passes or products. Staging, integrating and cleansing large data in the BI layer (ELT) is also inefficient. Finally, the ways in which these tools encrypt sensitive fields may be inadequate, inefficient, or both.

CoSort's solutions to these problems include: parallel data transformations, accelerating specific ETL jobs/tools, speeding database unload, load and reorg operations, generating safe test data, converting data types and file formats, masking data at risk, and writing reports (including summaries and deltas).
