Data fabric

Self-service analytics and modern data governance, all in one

What is data fabric?

A data fabric is a data management design that dynamically unifies disparate data sources intelligently and securely. Data fabrics use automation for end-to-end data management—including metadata automation—making real-time, self-service analytics a business reality that can scale.
