Reading Time: 3 minutes As organizations continue to pursue increasingly time-sensitive use-cases including customer 360° views, supply-chain logistics, and healthcare monitoring, they need their supporting data infrastructures to be increasingly flexible, adaptable, and scalable. Howard Dresner refers to such infrastructures as “active data architecture.” Dresner…
Reading Time: 3 minutes At the heart of every organization lies a data architecture, determining how data is accessed, organized, and used. For this reason, organizations must periodically revisit their data architectures, to ensure that they are aligned with current business goals. Here, as…
Reading Time: 3 minutes The pandemic has forever changed the way we live and do business. Practically overnight, organizations have been forced to adapt by modernizing their data architecture to support new types of analysis and new ways to connect to data. To gain…
Reading Time: 3 minutes IT excels in copying data. It is well known organizations are storing data in volumes that continue to grow. However, most of this data is not new or original, much of it is copied data. For example, data about a…
Reading Time: 2 minutes Recently, we have seen the rise of new technologies like big data, the Internet of things (IoT), and data lakes. But we have not seen many developments in the way that data gets delivered. Modernizing the data architectures is the…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Organizations are rethinking their current data architectures. Unfortunately, the majority considers it a challenge. Obviously, one of the reasons is that they don’t do this every day. Also, insights about how to design them has changed over time. This article…
Reading Time: 2 minutes Too often the design of new data architectures is based on old principles: they are still very data-store-centric. They consist of many physical data stores in which data is stored repeatedly and redundantly. Over time, new types of data stores,…
Reading Time: 2 minutes The concepts of logical data warehouse and logical data lake are getting traction. Organizations are starting to understand that these forms of data warehouses and data lakes are more practical and flexible than their more traditional physical counterparts. The technology…
Reading Time: 2 minutes Data mesh is a modern, distributed data architecture in which different domain based data products are owned by different groups within an organization. And data fabric is a self-service data layer that is supported in an orchestrated fashion to serve…
Reading Time: 2 minutes In the realm of logical architectures and data virtualization, one question consistently arises: Can these architectures deliver the performance required for complex analytics scenarios?
