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. Integrating, staging, 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 solves these problems by integrating and staging large volumes of data in the file system through a powerful, but simple to use 'Sort Control Language' program called SortCL. See how you can use CoSort's SortCL and compatible tools to:
Perform Multiple Data Transformations Together
Transform Huge Files
