Arcion Cloud improves database replication with Databricks, Snowflake
Arcion, which helps companies replicate knowledge from manufacturing databases in order that it may be used to carry out evaluation on warehousing platforms like Databricks and Snowflake, in the present day launched Arcion Cloud, a managed knowledge replication service that Arcion says works “with no single line of code.”
Final month, Arcion raised a $13 million Collection A spherical for its replication service. It comes at a time when enterprises are more and more needing to copy knowledge from manufacturing databases like Oracle and MySQL to carry out subtle evaluation on the info, together with operating it by highly effective purposes like AI. In September, knowledge integration big Fivetran acquired HVR, which specialised in knowledge replication, and raised $565 million at a $5.6 billion valuation.
Like HVR, Arcion makes use of one thing referred to as “change knowledge seize” (CDC), which permits companies to copy knowledge in actual time.

One other competing replication service is Oracle Golden Gate, which is finest used for Oracle to Oracle knowledge replication.
Right this moment’s Arcion Cloud launch is the primary absolutely managed CDC knowledge replication as a service that permits enterprises to “deploy high-performance, high-volume knowledge pipelines in minutes as a substitute of months,” the corporate stated in a press launch. The corporate added that, by only a few clicks, the platform gives interoperability for fashionable database applied sciences, initially together with three sources, Oracle, MySQL and Snowflake, and three targets, Databricks, Snowflake and SingleStore.
Whereas APIs have been used to attach SaaS instruments, knowledge residing in transactional enterprise databases has largely been locked up by design, to make sure efficiency and safety. This has made extracting enterprise knowledge a time-consuming, resource-intensive activity – leading to slower analytics and unsustainable prices, given the rising scale of real-time knowledge.
The corporate stated Arcion Cloud is out there on AWS USA and can assist Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud by the top of 2022.
