This GFT blog from 大卫Tuppen (Head of Data, 分析和人工智能, GFT) is a preview of our recent thought leadership paper ‘Data Virtualisation: The added benefits when building a democratised data 体系结构’.
一个民主化的建筑是一个 architectural design in the modern data platform that shifts from traditional centralised data management systems to a decentralised 模型. It addresses the challenges of large, centralised data platforms like data warehouses or lakes, which are often too rigid to meet the diverse needs of various organisational business units and the need to 统一分布式数据格局. 数据网格解决了这些缺点 of centralisation by enabling multiple data 域, each managed by different business units, to function autonomously yet harmoniously 在同一组织内.
这种分散的方法将数据视为 a product, focusing on data’s ease of access, discoverability and 可用性. By doing so, data mesh facilitates a flexible, on-demand data provisioning solution, governed by domain with multi-level security. Data mesh 体系结构, especially when supported by data virtualisation technologies like Denodo, allows organisations to curate domain-specific data and ensure it is consumable across the enterprise, thus fostering a more democratic, efficient and responsive data 环境.
将数据视为一种产品手段 conceptualising and managing data with the same rigour and care as 传统产品的业务. 这种方法确保数据是 packaged, delivered and maintained to meet the needs of data consumers 有效地.
Systems of consumption – The role of data virtualisation:
数据虚拟化在数据管理中非常重要 mesh 体系结构 because it aligns with the core principles of data 通过提供:
- 地方分权: It supports the data mesh’s inherent distributed design, allowing each domain or business unit to manage its own data product whilst still making it accessible to the entire organisation.
- Domain-oriented data ownership and 体系结构: Data virtualisation enables domain-specific semantic layers, making data more understandable and consumable by its users.
- Self-serve data infrastructure as a platform: It provides a self-service 模型 for data access, enabling end users to retrieve and manage data without central gatekeeping.
- 治理和互操作性: Data virtualisation allows for centralised governance and security protocols across various data 域 without impeding their autonomy.
通过促进这些原则，数据 virtualisation helps in creating a flexible, scalable and responsive data mesh, which in turn allows organisations to leverage their data 更有效和高效.
进入Denodo
Denodo has yet again been named a leader in 高德纳的魔力象限 for data integration tools for four consecutive years. 他们的数据 virtualisation platform plays a pivotal role in enabling a data mesh 体系结构. It does this by providing an abstraction and virtualisation layer over 150+ data sources, allowing users to access and manage data without needing to know the data product’s location, and 减少集成时间高达60%.
Key features of Denodo which support a data 网包括:
- 集中元数据管理: Denodo集中元数据， which enables efficient access and management of data across multiple 域 and significantly reduces data replication.
- 治理: It supports robust data governance, allowing organisations to enforce policies and maintain quality and security standards across all data 域.
- 安全协议: Denodo ensures secure data access with comprehensive security measures that protect data both in transit and at rest.
- 语义模型: Denodo’s capability to create semantic 模型s above individual data sources allows domain specific structuring of data, facilitating better understanding and usage without altering the underlying data.
- 敏捷性: Denodo’s platform is a no-code platform which provides significant ROI with respect to data engineering and management functions. 然而, key to Denodo’s agility is the ability to reuse persisted data assets, therefore providing a very agile development lifecycle capability and 显著缩短产品上市时间.
