At a high level Enzo Server behaves like a SQL Server database. Any client application that can connect to SQL Server can also connect to Enzo directly, such as SSIS, SSRS, PowerBI, Cognos, Excel and custom .NET applications.

In addition to responding to SQL commands, Enzo also understands native HTTP/S REST commands, making it the first Data Virtualization platform that can be used by anyone in an organization out of the box, from business analysts to developers.

Because Enzo is a server technology, it offers many cross-concern benefits such as stronger security and access control, auditing & logging, edge caching and more.

Enzo allows you to send SQL requests to access remote systems such as SharePoint, SalesForce, Twilio, Twitter, FTP, WMI and more. This means that business analysts can access data directly without the need to code against complex APIs.

Because Enzo Server is a service that understands SQL commands natively, there is no need to install client-side ODBC drivers. And because Enzo also understands Linked Server, it is possible to directly access a large number of services directly from within SQL Server stored procedures, triggers, views and functions.

Because Enzo Server supports Linked Server you can build solutions that integrate with SQL Server at the lowest level possible: the database. For example you can send messages into MSMQ or RabbitMQ directly from a Trigger in SQL Server, or read messages from an Azure Bus Queue or Topic.

Enzo Server also provides a REST interface (like an HTTP/S webhook) allowing you to access a large number of services using pure HTTP requests. This helps accelerate development cycles regardless of the programming language (C#, C++, Python...), platform (web, IoT, Mobile) or component (windows app, add-ins).
