Organizations want real-time, consistent, connected, and trusted data to support their critical business operations and insights. However, new data sources, slow data movement between platforms, rigid data transformation workflows and governance rules, expanding data volume, and distributed data across clouds and on-premises, can cause organizations to fail when executing their data strategy.
Data fabric delivers a unified, integrated, and intelligent end-to-end data platform to support new and emerging use cases. It automates all data management functions — including ingestion, transformation, orchestration, governance, security, preparation, quality, and curation — enabling insights and analytics to accelerate use cases quickly. - Forrester
A growing contingent of organizations are leveraging data fabric in the public cloud and hybrid cloud environments to support customer 360, business 360, fraud detection, IoT analytics, and real-time insights. As a result of these trends, enterprise data fabric customers should look for providers that:
- Accelerate use cases through built-in automation and intelligence
- Deliver cohesive, built-in, end-to-end data management capabilities
- Partner with professional services providers for complex deployments
