////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// FEATURE: ENTERPRISE DATA CLOUD
pressing data and analytic challenges in a
streamlined fashion.
3: Secured and governed: With data
coming from various sources, comes great
responsibility. Businesses want to run
multiple analytic functions on the same
data set with a common security and
governance framework – enabling a holistic
approach to data privacy and regulatory
compliance across all their environments.
It must therefore maintain strict enterprise
data privacy, governance, data migration
and metadata management regardless of
its location.
4. Open: Lastly, an enterprise data cloud
must be open. Of course, this means open
source software, but it also means open
compute architectures and open data
stores like Amazon S3 and Azure Data
Lake Storage. Ultimately, enterprises want
to avoid vendor lock-in (to not become
dependent on a single provider) and favour
open platforms, open integrations and open
partner ecosystems. In the event of technical
challenges, not only one company, the
original supplier, who delivers support, but
the entire open source community can help.
This also ensures fast innovation cycles and
a competitive advantage.
To achieve their goals of Digital
Transformation and becoming data-driven,
businesses need more than just a better
data warehouse, data science or BI tool.
As new data types emerge, and new use
cases come to the fore, they will need to
rely on a range of analytical capabilities
– from data engineering to data
warehousing to operational databases
and data science – available across a
comprehensive cloud infrastructure.
Throughout their journey, they need to be
able to fluidly move between these different
analytics, exchanging data and gaining
insights as they go. Being able to rely on an
enterprise data cloud will future-proof their
commitment to technology innovation and
ensure business objectives are met across
any division. •
TO GIVE ENTERPRISES FLEXIBILITY,
AN ENTERPRISE DATA CLOUD CAN
EMPOWER BUSINESSES TO GET CLEAR
AND ACTIONABLE INSIGHTS FROM
COMPLEX DATA ANYWHERE.
