Install the Denodo VDP client

Denodo is a data virtualization and data integration platform in use at Indiana University. Denodo can connect to many different kinds of data sources and then combine, aggregate, or join and filter these data sources and present the results in multiple formats.

Note:
Denodo is a highly available enterprise service that is only interrupted for maintenance on the third Sunday of each month, 5-6am. If Denodo requires a longer maintenance window, it will be advertised in advance.

Denodo 8 introduces Design Studio, a web-based tool that includes most of the functionality found in the desktop client. Supported desktop clients are available for Windows and Linux operating systems only.
