Microsoft Corporation acquired Metanautix, a transaction announced in December 2015.
Metanautix operates in Data Group / SQL Server / Cortana Analytics Suite. Metanautix built a data-analytics engine that connects disparate data sources across cloud and on-premises systems so companies can run analytics without costly data centralization. Microsoft acquired it to strengthen its data platform, with plans to integrate the technology into SQL Server and the Cortana Analytics Suite.
Metanautix solves a key analytics challenge—bringing all of a company's data together for insight—supporting Microsoft's intelligent cloud strategy.
