Tableau offers tools to help customers who have a hybrid (on-premises and cloud) data strategy, or who need to access private cloud data in your cloud analytics environment.

Tableau Bridge

Tableau Bridge brings in data from private data sources into Tableau Cloud, maintains live connections, and keeps data fresh with extract refreshes. With Bridge, Tableau Cloud can securely access on-premises and virtual private cloud data.

Data Connect

Data Connect provides a new choice for those who prefer not to manage Bridge themselves. With Data Connect, Tableau takes on the responsibility of remotely operating, monitoring, and maintaining the software client, while the organization's team provides and manages the physical or virtual hardware.
