Data & Insights Gateway is an easy-to-use on-platform solution that allows you to publish, update, and automate datasets directly from key on-premise and cloud-hosted source systems.
Gateway utilizes a user agent, a thin Java client that lives behind the user’s firewall that connects to Data & Insights backend systems. This user agent is set up on a server that has access to the source system hosting your data. Various plugins exist for your agent to connect to different source systems both on the cloud (Esri, AWS S3, etc) as well as on-premise (MS SQL, Excel, etc).
Gateway updates your dataset using the Data & Insights Dataset Management Experience, so you can still use all of the same tools to edit, manage, transform and schedule your data.
