Data Fabric (Part-1)

 Definition: Data fabric is an integrated architecture that simplifies and unifies data management across disparate environments, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge. It provides a cohesive layer that allows organizations to access, integrate, and manage their data seamlessly.

Data Integration: Combines data from various sources (databases, data lakes, cloud services) into a unified view, allowing for consistent data access.

Data Management: Offers tools for data governance, quality, and security, ensuring compliance and accuracy across datasets.

Metadata Management: Maintains a catalog of data assets, helping users understand the origin, context, and relationships between datasets.

Data Access: Provides a unified interface for data access, allowing users to query and retrieve data without needing to know its physical location.

Real-time Processing: Supports real-time data ingestion and processing, enabling organizations to make timely decisions based on the most current information.

Self-service Capabilities: Empowers business users to access and analyze data without heavy reliance on IT, fostering a data-driven culture.
