Data Fabric is a data management architecture that enables the integration, management, and sharing of data from many different systems and environments. It combines on-premise and cloud data into a single, cohesive layer, facilitating its use in analyses and business processes.
Data Fabric is based on several key principles:
- integration of data from multiple sources,
- automation of data management and flow,
- utilization of metadata for information organization,
- ensuring consistent data access across the organization,
- support for on-premise, cloud, and hybrid environments.
The Data Fabric model helps organizations manage a growing number of data sources and reduces the time needed to prepare data for analysis. This allows companies to provide reliable information to business users and analytical tools more quickly.
