Companies can also get access and integrate data from multiple database sources and gather meaningful information through Roambi's visual reports and graphs. They can also combine data from multiple database sources into one seamless Roambi report to know more about the connections and insights that can be shared with more users across the enterprise.

"Big data has moved beyond a buzzword to become a real business strategy for companies of all sizes," said Santiago Becerra, Co-Founder and CEO of Roambi. "Roambi is on the forefront of the dynamic trend of data-driven business and with the launch of the ES 4.5 JDBC Connector we are committed to providing organizations with the flexibility to choose the data delivery format that suits their individual needs."

Airbnb, one of Roambi's first customers had looked out for a data visualization solution that connected directly to its Apache Hadoop database. After a detailed review the company used the Hive queries, Unix scripts, and cron jobs to develop a homegrown business intelligence system that is continuously updated with live information.

"We look for partners that can move at our speed and maximize results using innovative methods," said Riley Newman, Head of Analytics at Airbnb. Newman said that they were attracted to Roambi's clean design aesthetic and later on partnered with Roambi to develop an infrastructure that could meet its needs.

Company officials have confirmed that the new Roambi ES 4.5 JDBC Connector is licensed to unlock the power of big data and relational data from twelve major databases including Hive/Hadoop 0.9, Oracle 11g, MySQL 5.5, Amazon Redshift, Teradata, Microsoft SQL, IBM Netezza, IBM DB2, PostgreSQL, SAP (News - Alert) Hana, ParAccel and Greenplum.
