4. Challenges of Data Management

5. #DenodoDataFest
Current Challenges of Data Management
1. Faster & more complex demands for decision making
▪ Provide useful information for decision making at all organization levels
▪ New users with advanced analytical skills and needs: e.g. data scientists
▪ Solution? Self Service Initiatives lead by business users, etc. → Either too complex (direct
access) or too costly (specific data marts) , Governance and consistency problems
2. Regulations, enterprise-wide governance & data security
▪ Tens of new regulations worldwide: tax, finance, privacy, HR, environmental, etc.
▪ Ensure consistency in semantics of delivered data and data quality
▪ Enforce security policies
▪ Solution? Data Governance tools. Separate, static system for documentation→ get out of sync
easily, don’t enforce policies & don’t deliver data to users
3. Complexity of DM infrastructure: IT cost reduction
▪ Huge data growth, operation costs → IT is looking for cheaper and more flexible solutions
▪ Solution? Cloud, Data Lakes → Increase integration complexity in the short term. E.g. Gartner
says “83% of Data Lakes projects have failed”

“Point-to-point integration is the simplest form of integration, but it can
introduce technical debt with a complex spaghetti architecture that is hard
to manage and change.”
Gartner 2018, Where Does Point-to-Point Integration Belong in Your Integration Strategy?
The end result of this approach for enterprises was described by Gartner as:
“…unregulated, chaotic integration spaghetti.”
Gartner 2017, Accelerating Digital Transformation in Insurance

IT Architecture is Unmanageable & Brittle because:
Business – IT Dilemma
IT responds by
loosely stitching
together
disparate data
sources
Any changes
break the flow
and affect
business
continuity
Business Wants All of the Data, Now
– So IT creates 100s to 1000s of brittle direct connections and
replicates large volumes of data

8. What is Data Virtualization?

9. 9
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.

What is Data Virtualization?

12. Why Data Virtualization?

13. 13
Six Essential Capabilities of Data Virtualization
4. Self-service data services
5. Centralized metadata, security &
governance
6. Location-agnostic architecture for
multi-cloud, hybrid acceleration
1. Data abstraction
2. Zero replication, zero relocation
3. Real-time information

14. 14
1. Data abstraction
Abstracts access to disparate data sources.
Acts as a single virtual repository.
Abstracts data complexities like location,
format, protocols
…hides data complexity for ease of data access by business
Enterprise architects must revise their data architecture to meet
the demand for fast data.”
– Create a Road Map For A Real-time, Agile, Self-Service Data
Platform, Forrester Research

15. 15
2. Zero replication, zero relocation
…reduces development time and overall TCO
The Denodo Platform enables us to build and deliver data
services, to our internal and external consumers, within a
day instead of the 1 – 2 weeks it would take with ETL.”
– Manager, Enervus
Leaves the data at its source; extracts only what is
needed, on demand.
Diminishes the need for effort-intensive ETL
processes.
Eliminates unnecessary data redundancy.

16. 16
3. Real-time information
Provisions data in real-time to consumers
Creates real-time logical views of data across many
data sources.
Supports transformations and quality functions
without the latency, redundancy, and rigidity of legacy
approaches
…enables timely decision-making
Denodo’s data fabric design relies on data virtualization
to provide integrated data quickly to business users to
effect faster outcomes..”
– Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools, 18 August’ 2020

17. 17
4. Self-service data services
Facilitates access to all data, both internal and external
Enables creation of universal semantic models reflecting
business taxonomy
Connects data silos to provide best available information to
drive business decisions
…enables information discovery and self-service
Impressively quick turn around time to "unlock“ data from
additional siloes and from legacy systems - Few vendors (if any) can
compete with Denodo's support of the Restful/Odata standard -
both to provide data (northbound) and to access data from the
sources (southbound).”
– Business Analyst, Swiss Re

18. 18
5. Centralized metadata, security & governance
Abstracts data source security models and enables single-point
security and governance.
Extends single-point control across cloud and on-premises
architectures
Provides multiple forms of metadata (technical, business,
operational) to facilitate understanding of data.
…simplifies data security, privacy, audit
Our Denodo rollout was one of the easiest and most successful rollouts of critical
enterprise software I have seen. It was successful in handling our initial, security,
use case immediately, and has since shown a strong ability to cover additional
use cases, in particular acting as a Data Abstraction Layer via it's web service
functionality.”
– Enterprise Architect, Asurion

19. 19
6. Location-agnostic architecture for multi-cloud, hybrid acceleration
Optimizes costs by migrating data, applications, and analytics
workloads to cloud without impacting the business
Enables creation of hub architecture to support integration of
data across mixed workloads.
End-to-end management of migrations/promotions and
continuous delivery processes.
…enables cloud adoption
Impressively quick turn around time to "unlock“ data from
additional siloes and from legacy systems - Few vendors (if any) can
compete with Denodo's support of the Restful/Odata standard -
both to provide data (northbound) and to access data from the
sources (southbound).”
– Business Analyst, Swiss Re

Modern Data Virtualization
Data Virtualization enhanced with data management, automation and AI
➢ Delivers data more quickly than direct queries
➢ Leverages AI to accelerate performance and enhance the user experience
➢ An active data catalog to explore and govern data in real time
➢ Empowers data scientists with an integrated data science notebooks
➢ Flexible support for hybrid and multi-cloud architectures
➢ Employs automation to speed cloud deployment and management
➢ Leverages SSO and fine grain permissions to secure data assets

21. 21
Benefits of Using Data Virtualization
Easier & faster access to trusted data
• 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.

22. 22
Benefits of Using Data Virtualization
Faster, cheaper, simpler, easier to secure and govern
• 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 being 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.
