Varada vs. CData Connect AI

Varada's data platform runs in your AWS VPC and can dramatically accelerate queries that run directly on your data lake. No need to move data or model it to get those blazing fast queries users demand. Any SQL app, BI tool or even analysts and data scientists can easily query any data source in your data lake, without the need to move data, prepare or model it in advance. >>How fast is “fast”? Varada is 10x-100x faster than any other data lake query engine. Data teams and users no longer need compromise on performance in order to achieve agility and fast time-to-insights.

CData Connect AI is the AI gateway that makes AI more accurate, for less. Built on CData's enterprise MCP platform, it gives every agent, copilot, and model one governed path to hundreds of enterprise systems, including Salesforce, NetSuite, SAP, ServiceNow, Workday, Snowflake, and Databricks, over live data instead of stale copies. Unlike gateways that only proxy traffic to model providers, Connect AI starts at the source connection.
