Quest Software, a global systems management, data protection and security software provider, announced the general availability of Toad Data Studio, an all-in-one platform to enable streamlined database management in multi-database platform environments.
Industry data suggests that as the complexity of database infrastructure continues to increase, enterprises are least confident about their ability to provide developers with agility, as well as to spot issues and remediate them within a timely fashion. As compliance, AI regulation and cloud costs become major C-level priorities, the demand for database engineers has skyrocketed, with a near-threefold increase in job postings for those experts – though many organizations still lack the talent and resources to fit their needs. The challenge is that once these roles are filled, data engineers are forced to meet their objectives and fulfill their duties with inflexible and incomplete tools that have traditionally been designed for people in other roles.
To address this roadblock, Toad Data Studio blends the award-winning Toad legacy of productivity, functionality and visualization with the ability to connect to nearly every database in an IT environment via a unified data management tool. This platform empowers data engineers, developers and database administrators to fully democratize, manage and utilize data for key business priorities at scale.
“Most organizations are finding it in their best interest to shift to a multi-source data landscape because of the flexibility and customization that comes with it,” said Bharath Vasudevan, VP of Product and Go-To-Market at Quest Software. “Toad Data Studio is made for managing even the most complex data environments that businesses rely on more and more for highly impactful insight. Various data environments are managed from one interface, and enterprises benefit from the strong backing of the wider Toad user community. Whether you’re a database engineer or administrator looking to reach across multiple data sources in one place, you’re empowered to efficiently navigate, automate and economize the flow of data.”

“Businesses need a flexible, scalable data strategy that enables them to get insights from the mountains of data growing in size and complexity by the hour,” said Vasudevan. “Simplifying database management and development addresses this problem at the source, creating a strong foundation for a data-based business model.”
