Infoworks DataFoundry Now Available as a Free Trial on Google Cloud Marketplace
Infoworks.io has announced a free trial program for Infoworks DataFoundry on the Google Cloud Marketplace. The trial introduces an updated version of DataFoundry featuring an interactive assistant designed to guide users through data onboarding to Google Cloud and the development of advanced analytics use cases.
DataFoundry had previously been made available on the Google Cloud Marketplace the prior fall. This free trial expands access and lowers the barrier to entry for Google Cloud customers looking to automate data operations at scale.
What Is Infoworks DataFoundry?
DataFoundry is Infoworks’ flagship platform for Enterprise Data Operations and Orchestration (EDO2). It is designed to automate and accelerate the deployment and orchestration of analytics projects, removing the need for manual coding or deep infrastructure management. Key characteristics include:
- No-code automation: Data engineers, scientists, analysts, and business users can build data pipelines without writing custom code.
- Scalable data onboarding: Automates ingestion and preparation of enterprise data at scale.
- Multi-environment support: Works across cloud, hybrid, multi-cloud, and on-premises environments.
- Rapid time-to-value: Enables organizations to deploy analytics projects to production within days rather than months.
What the Free Trial Includes
The DataFoundry free trial runs natively on Google Cloud and is optimized to leverage Google Cloud’s underlying infrastructure. The trial package includes:
- An interactive assistant providing step-by-step guidance for building data onboarding and analytics use cases.
- Integration with Google Cloud’s advanced analytics services, including BigQuery and TensorFlow.
- Support for third-party AI and machine learning solutions available on Google Cloud.
- Access to DataFoundry’s full pipeline orchestration and automation capabilities.
Why This Matters for Data Engineering Teams
One of the persistent challenges for enterprises migrating to or expanding on cloud platforms is the complexity of data operations — ingesting, transforming, governing, and operationalizing data at scale. This work typically consumes significant data engineering time and specialized talent.
Russ Barck, Vice President of Strategic Alliances at Infoworks, framed the value proposition directly:
“Infoworks DataFoundry frees data engineers, scientists, analysts and even business users to focus on leveraging Google Cloud in delivering use cases that drive digital transformation. Our unique automated, no-code offering means the major time and talent sink of dealing with underlying data operations and orchestration complexity is no longer an issue.”
— Russ Barck, VP Strategic Alliances, Infoworks
Manvinder Singh, Director of Partnerships at Google Cloud, also commented on the partnership:
“Businesses today need to derive more insights and greater value from their data. We’re delighted that Infoworks will make its enhanced DataFoundry capabilities available via Google Cloud Marketplace, helping customers more seamlessly bring their data to Google Cloud.”
— Manvinder Singh, Director of Partnerships, Google Cloud
