Gateways and Connectors

New in MicroStrategy 2021 Update 4, we have updated our OOTB Teradata drivers and certified Teradata 17.10.

With a priority on supporting cloud data sources, we unveiled our brand-new Cloud Object Connector at the beginning of 2021 to provide optimized connectivity to Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure ADLS2.

We also added brand new connectors for Azure SQL Managed Instance (private Microsoft cloud), SAP BW, SAP ECC, FinancialForce, ServiceMax, Veeva, Google Cloud Spanner, and Databricks in 2021. We also worked closely with our SAP partners to ensure that we are SAP certified for both SAP on-prem and SAP cloud making us the first BI vendor to be certified on SAP cloud.

With an emphasis on enabling users to bring their own credentials, we have expanded our authentication portfolio by supporting workflows such as Azure Active Directory SSO with SAML or OIDC tokens, Snowflake ADFS integrations to support OAuth workflows, and enabling users to upload their Oracle Cloud Wallet credential files, in order to connect to Oracle Cloud environments.

In the last 4 quarters, we pushed down DateTime, Percentile, and Case/CaseV operations for all of our diamond and platinum gateways.
