With insights from key reports, we underline the pivotal role of data virtualization in enhancing data security and regulatory compliance. Moreover, we delve into its ability to eliminate data silos, fostering improved collaboration and decision-making, and ensuring business continuity.

Is Data Mesh or Data Fabric in Your Future? Prerequisites for Success

In the era of data-driven decisions, how you manage and utilize your data is a critical determinant of your business's success. Understanding whether a Data Mesh or Data Fabric is suitable for you can revolutionize your data strategy, sparking innovation and providing you with the insights to drive your business forward.

Three Strategies for Building an Agile and Adaptable Data Architecture

With the rapidly changing business landscape, growing data volumes and complexity, and the emergence of new technologies and data sources, an agile data architecture is crucial for a company's success. It enables data-driven decision-making, enhances data security and governance, and improves team collaboration and efficiency. The question many have is how to build this agile data architecture.

Building the Foundation of a Modern Data Architecture

Traditional Data Management approaches that rely on collecting data within a centralized data store, such as a cloud data warehouse or data lake, are core building blocks for your data modernization efforts. However, you need more to address the diverse needs of today's businesses. Hybrid/Multi-cloud, SaaS, and data privacy laws are just a few examples of why data will remain distributed.

Cloud Migration Strategies that Ensure Greater Value for the Business

The cloud is no longer the future; the cloud is now. Companies continue to shift their workloads and data to the cloud to leverage the speed, agility, and efficient scalability the cloud offers. As a result, there is increasing attention given to cloud-based data warehouses, data lakes, and lake houses as a way for organizations to simplify managing their ever-increasing volumes of data. However, many find that these new technologies only complicate the data management process.

Shaping the Role of a Data Lake in a Modern Data Fabric Architecture

Data lakes have been both praised and loathed. They can be incredibly useful to an organization, but it can also be the source of major headaches. Its ease to scale storage with minimal cost has opened the door to many new solutions, but also to a proliferation of runaway objects that have coined the term data swamp.

However, the addition of an MPP engine, based on Presto, to Denodo’s logical layer can change the way you think about the role of the data lake in your overall data strategy.

Logical Data Fabric vs Data Mesh. Does it Matter?

Data Fabric and Data Mesh had been trending high in the data and analytics space, so what is a data fabric and what is a data mesh? How are they different and does it matter?

In this session, Ravi Shankar, Sr. VP and CMO at Denodo, will address the market and analyst views of these two approaches and how they complement each other. His presentation will be followed by an insightful and engaging fireside chat with Mark L Johnson, Executive Director, Client Solutions at Fusion Alliance to further discuss what it all means in terms of value to the customer.

Adopting a Logical Data Architecture for Today's Data and Analytics Requirements

It’s almost impossible to find any organization that does not have data and analytics as one of their top priorities to further their business objectives. At the same time the data and analytics landscape is evolving faster than ever, making the data management ecosystem more complex than ever before. As data gets increasingly distributed across systems and locations, every forward looking organization should adopt a logical architecture to be future ready.

Achieving Self-service Analytics with a Governed Data Services Layer

We all heard about Self-Service initiatives, or maybe even implementing one. With the evolution of data landscape we have become data driven, when we should be information driven. Data without context lacks meaning. Data meaning is what drives the valuable business insights. We need to drive our consumers to the right information, while providing guided and governed experience across diverse consumer community.

• What it takes to make Self-Service initiatives successful
• How Governed Data Service Layer enables guided data discovery

How Semantics Simplifies Data Sharing at an Enterprise Level

Semantics has been a topic often associated with academia with little impact in the analytics world. However, that tendency is starting to change, fueled by self-service and data democratization initiatives that broaden the scope of who’s accessing data and what those users expect.

Data Lakes: A Logical Approach for Faster Unified Insights

Data lakes and data warehouses offer organizations centralized data delivery platforms. The recent Building the Unified Data Warehouse and Data Lake report by leading industry analysts TDWI we discovered 64% of organizations stated the objective for a unified Data Warehouse and Data Lakes is to get more business value and that 84% of organizations polled felt that a unified approach to Data Warehouses and Data Lakes was either extremely or moderately important.

The Role of the Logical Data Fabric in a Unified Platform for Modern Analytics

Given the growing demand for analytics and the need for organizations to advance beyond dashboards to self-service analytics and more sophisticated algorithms like machine learning (ML), enterprises are moving towards a unified environment for data and analytics. What is the best approach to accomplish this unification?

Augmentation, Collaboration, Governance: Defining the Future of Self-Service BI

According to Dresner Advisory’s 2020 Self-Service Business Intelligence Market Study, 62% of the responding organizations say self-service BI is critical for their business. If we look deeper into the need for today’s self-service BI, it’s beyond some Executives and Business Users being enabled by IT for self-service dashboarding or report generation. Predictive analytics, self-service data preparation, collaborative data exploration are all different facets of new generation self-service BI.
