SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Airbyte, the open data movement platform, today announced three significant updates to its on-premises Airbyte Enterprise product that provide organizations with greater flexibility and control over their data while ensuring that data is ready to work with AI.
'All these new capabilities are directed towards making data AI ready with more control, context, and speed because without data, there is no AI, and without the right data, AI is no good,' said Michel Tricot, CEO and co-founder of Airbyte.
Airbyte's platform updates include the ability to facilitate data sovereignty and compliance across different global regions; synchronize data with its metadata to assist AI models' ability to improve reasoning and accuracy; and directly load data volumes to BigQuery and Snowflake, which increases data sync speeds and reduces compute costs.
'All these new capabilities are directed towards making data AI ready with more control, context, and speed because without data, there is no AI, and without the right data, AI is no good,' said Michel Tricot, CEO and co-founder of Airbyte. ' Studies have shown that too often, AI projects are abandoned due to poor data quality and escalating costs. We help organizations command their data quickly and securely. Our enhanced data sovereignty feature will appeal to businesses in areas like Australia where compliance rules have been a challenge for many organizations, helping Airbyte expand in those regions.'
The new multiple data planes feature can be used by organizations to keep control of their data on-premises in order to maintain data sovereignty and compliance across different regions, but with an improved, centralized user interface (UI) that efficiently manages all of it holistically.
Airbyte now enables synchronized unstructured files and structured records to be transferred in the same data pipeline, which is the most efficient way to preserve metadata and data relationships – enabling richer data context and significantly improving the performance of AI Large Language Models (LLMs) using that data.
Direct loading represents a new, streamlined way that Airbyte loads data into BigQuery that will soon be available for ClickHouse and Snowflake, plus other destinations. Direct loading can reduce compute costs by 50 to 70%, and increases speed by up to 33% depending on the use case.
Airbyte makes moving data easy and affordable across nearly any source and destination, ensuring enterprises have accurate, timely data for analysis, decision-making, and AI. With over 900 contributors and a community of more than 230,000 members, Airbyte supports the largest data engineering community and is the industry's only open data movement platform. The company announced a strong first quarter with a 25% increase in revenue and has recently received multiple industry recognitions for its innovation and growth.
