A recent press release reports, “Informatica, a leading worldwide provider of data management solutions, today announced the availability of hourly pricing for Informatica Cloud® Services for Microsoft Azure in the Azure Marketplace. Now available as a pay-as-you-go hourly pricing model, this solution is designed to help users of the Azure cloud platform and Microsoft Cortana Intelligence Suite jump-start cloud data integration and management projects. Additionally, users can run enterprise-class integration jobs with no upfront costs, and simplify integration of disparate data sources – on-premises, in the cloud or in a hybrid environment – to gain critical insights. Informatica Cloud optimizes the value of Azure services by simplifying complex data management initiatives. This agile data integration and management solution includes pre-configured connectivity to multiple Azure data services including SQL Data Warehouse, Blob Storage, Data Lake Store and DocumentDB.”

The release continues, “A critical component of transforming data into action is connecting data, no matter where it resides within the enterprise. This new offering helps customers fast-track cloud data management projects and expedites proof of concepts by accelerating the loading, management and delivery of relevant data to and from Azure data services, SaaS applications, Hadoop-based data lakes, and on-premises data sources. For example, organizations can stand up a new Azure Data Warehouse project and use the Informatica Cloud connector for Azure SQL Data Warehouse to load data from on-premises or cloud sources, such as Salesforce, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, or Workday, within hours, not days.”
