X2D: The Brickbuilder Solution for Migrations

Koantek’s X2D Solution enables customers to efficiently migrate from ANY legacy environment to the Databricks Data Intelligence platform.

What are Brickbuilder Solutions?

Koantek’s Brickbuilder Solutions are purpose-built accelerators developed in collaboration with Databricks to solve real customer challenges. We created them to shorten the time it takes for enterprises to realize value from the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. Whether modernizing legacy systems, enabling governance, or scaling AI.

Each solution combines proven blueprints, automation, and Databricks best practices. They’re designed to simplify complexity, reduce risk, and deliver outcomes fast, from standing up a production-ready Lakehouse in weeks to unlocking AI-powered insights with governed pipelines.

By embedding governance, security, and FinOps into every accelerator, Koantek ensures you get more than a quick start. You get a scalable foundation that supports your business long term.
