Real-time access to holistic information
Data Virtualization provides a unique approach to Data Integration and Management that is not found in any other Technology. Data Virtualization transcends simple data access to act as a full-fledged data discovery and search system, complete with data security.
Data Virtualization includes:
- Data Abstraction: Data virtualization hides the complexities of accessing data from the underlying data systems, their formats, and structures.
- Zero Replication: Unlike ETL, data virtualization does not need to “collect” the data into a separate repository in order to transform it to the destination format. It handles the transformation and aggregation on-the-fly.
- Real-Time Data Delivery: Since data virtualization “connects” to the underlying data sources in real-time, it delivers up-to-the-minute data to the business users within their applications.
- Agility and Simplicity: Data virtualization’s view-based approach delivers agility when underlying sources are added, removed, or changed.
-
– PROTECT DATA:
-
- Data virtualization enables CxOs to insulate critical source systems from users and applications, preventing them from unintentionally changing the data
– DELIVER INFORMATION FASTER AND CHEAPER:
-
- Replication takes time and costs money; with its “zero replication” approach, data virtualization benefits business users to receive up-to-the-minute information without investing in additional storage
– INCREASE BUSINESS USER PRODUCTIVITY:
-
- By delivering data in real time, data virtualization enables business users to access the most current data during regular business operations
– ENFORCE CENTRALIZED DATA GOVERNANCE AND SECURITY:
-
- With its single virtual data fabric, data virtualization enables architects to enforce centralized data governance and security
