Data Fabrics

A data fabric is an operational layer that connects and manages a data infrastructure. The approach brings together data from different sources within the organisation, preventing fragmentation and data silos. Everyone working with data gets access to all relevant data through a single point. This is regardless of location: on-premises, the edge or the multicloud. It makes data management more straightforward and more streamlined.

It is useful for application builders, for example, to tap into the right data sources quickly and efficiently. Data fabrics are a good reason for business and data analysts, data engineers, data scientists, and AI/ML developers to get excited.
