Do you want a quick and simple way to transfer data from RDSSQL to Amazon Redshift? If yes, then you can migrate your data with an efficient ETL tool: Daton.

Modern Businesses need to use their data to stay ahead of increasing competition and make data-driven decisions. Data generated from various tools used for automating operations require fast and secured storage. Unfortunately, building and maintaining a scalable and secure physical storage solution is quite expensive. So, the companies resort to cloud servers like Microsoft SQL. But managing, replicating, and extracting data from these servers is complicated. Hence web services like Amazon RDS have made a solution for managing SQL. RDSSQL provides seamless control on your SQL server.

Data-savvy organizations try to reduce the time & effort of reporting and analyzing multiple data silos from multiple servers, databases, and apps. They use ETL tools like Daton to load data from these servers to data warehouses like Amazon Redshift, where you get an integrated view for faster and more accurate reporting.

 

Why integrate RDSSQL to Amazon Redshift

Nowadays, enterprises use web services like Amazon RDS servers to manage their databases. It will help to set up and maintain SQL databases, especially when multiple teams work in offices around the world. The databases will be automatically replicated, and backed up by secure servers, reducing data theft and loss. To simplify data analysis and reporting, merge data from RDSSQL with other databases like Amazon Aurora, sales sheets, and COGS. However, manual data consolidation takes much time to execute manually, and the reports are often inaccurate. Thus, data-savvy companies resort to ETL tools like Daton to replicate RDSSQL to Amazon Redshift. It is a highly automated ETL Tool that easily migrates data from different data sources to cloud data warehouses without coding.

 

RDSSQL Overview

Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) is a web service that enables users to manage a relational database in the AWS Cloud.
