Watch full webinar here: https://buff.ly/3Cgntpf Data that is increasingly distributed across on-premises and multiple cloud platforms offers both opportunities and challenges for insights-driven business decision making. This is true for any industry and any organization, small or large. While modern data architectures such as data fabric or data mesh offer innovative solutions to extract maximum value from organizational data, in many instances physical replication or consolidation of data makes those solutions ineffective. In this session Paul Moxon, SVP of Data Architecture and Chief Evangelist at Denodo will present a number of customer examples illustrating how organizations have successfully implemented a logical data architecture.

Seamless Migration to Snowflake
• Large or critical Cloud migrations are
risky
• Big Bang approach is not advised
• Phased approach is recommended
• Select data set to migrate, copy to Cloud
• Test and tune data access, then go live
• Repeat for next data set and so on
• Use Denodo as abstraction layer during
migration process
• Isolate users from shift of data

DATA FLOW
• Create a virtual representation of the physical tables
from legacy DWH in Denodo Cloud Platform.
• Connect other on-prem data sources to Denodo. Build
the foundation for a logical data warehouse or logical
data lake.
• Start moving physical objects from on-prem Data
Warehouse to Snowflake in bite-sized chunks to avoid
any downtime and ensure proper testing procedures.
• Switch the connection from legacy DWH to Snowflake
Cloud Platform inside Denodo.
• Maintain one consistent business data model across all
consumers and reporting tools. Reuse analytical objects
across multiple tools and consuming applications.

Year Zero - Before Data Virtualization
▪ Too many query points
▪ Heterogenous technologies
▪ Complex source systems
▪ Scattered business rules
▪ Semantic layers in BI
▪ Business logics in DB views
▪ Many points of access control
▪ Audit points all over the place
▪ Each system has its own access control

Every Data Virtualization cluster is connected to local
data sources, and is the access point for local
consumer apps such as BI and analytics tools. Each
Data Virtualization cluster has visibility of the datasets
available from all other clusters, and requests this data
from it's peer cluster as required by end users

Benefits of a Logical Data Architecture
“Now, we can do weekly releases.
We’re able to add new data sources
within 2 to 3 hours. We’re about 60%
faster than we were in the old world.”
VP of data and analytics, real estate
“To me, it all boils down to speed to
insights. Not having to wait to get the
question that you have top-of-mind
answered with data is huge.”
VP of data and analytics, real estate
