Adaptive Data Architectures
• Organizations need an adaptive data architecture
• An architecture that can flex and adapt to new technologies, new data sources, new formats,
new protocols, new data uses, etc. while minimizing the impact on the consumers
• Future-proofs the architecture
• We can’t predict what technologies will emerge in next 3-5 years (or 5-10 years), but we can
build architectures that will accommodate them
• Allows users to access new data, new technologies using existing, familiar tools
• e.g. read data from a Parquet file using Excel (via the Data Virtualization Platform)
• A Data Fabric – built on Data Virtualization – provides this adaptability and protects your
existing technology investments and de-risks the adoption of new, emerging technologies

Source: “Gartner Market Guide for Data Virtualization, November 16, 2018”
Data virtualization can be used to create virtualized and integrated views
of data in-memory rather than executing data movement and physically
storing integrated views in a target data structure. It provides a layer of
abstraction above the physical implementation of data, to simplify query
logic.

Data Virtualization Connects the Users to the Data That They Need
1. Data Virtualization allows you to connect to (almost) any data source
2. You can combine and transform that data into the format needed by the consumer
3. The data can be exposed to the consumers in a format and interface that is usable
by them
• Typically consumers use the tools that they already use – they don’t have to learn new tools
and skills to access the data
4. All of this can be done without copying or moving the data
• The data stays in the original sources (databases, applications, files, etc.) and is retrieved, in
real-time, on demand
Cliffs Notes version (TL;DR)

Decoupling Business from IT
IT: Flexible Source Architecture
Business: Flexible
Tool Choice
IT can now
move at slower
speed without
affecting the
business
Business can now
make faster and
more
sophisticated
decisions as all
data accessible
by any tool of
choice

Benefits of Using Data Virtualization
• For Business Users
• Simplicity: Users don’t need to navigate the complexity of the architecture. Where is
data (on-prem, cloud, multi-cloud)? How to Access it? Which location has priority?
• Agility: All data is securely delivered from a single (virtual) system
• Accessibility: Data is accessible in a variety of formats (SQL, REST, OData, GraphQL)
and in a web-based Data Catalog, regardless of original format and location
• Common Semantic Layer: All users see the same definitions and data, providing data
consistency
• Governed Self-Service: Users can use their own tools (BYOT) to access and query the
data that is governed, secure, and trusted data.

15
Benefits of Using Data Virtualization
• For IT
• Abstraction: Decouples storage and processing engines from the delivery of data
• Flexibility: Allows IT to change technologies and move data without service
interruptions
• Security: Centralized governance and security controls for all data assets
• Governance: The data accessed by the users can be governed, secured, and managed
so that users are accessing known, trusted, and approved data sets.
• Accelerated Delivery: As data is not be replicated to a staging area or data mart for
use, it is significantly quicker (up to 90% quicker) to deliver the data needed by the
users.

Demo Scenario
Distributed Data:
▪ Historical sales data offloaded to
Hadoop cluster for cheaper storage
▪ Marketing campaigns managed in an
external cloud app
▪ Customer details table, stored in the
DW
1) On-board and expose distributed data
through a single logical layer.
2) Publish a logical view calculating the
impact of a new marketing campaign by
country?

Sales Evolution

1. Information architectures are getting more
complex, more diverse, and more distributed.
2. Traditional technologies and data replication don’t
cut it anymore.
3. Data virtualization makes it quick and easy to
expose data from multiple source to your users
while still maintaining governance and security…
4. …and enables a wide range of use cases; from self-
service analytics to data marketplaces to
regulatory reporting and compliance.
