WHILE VOLUME, veracity, and variety still define big data, some of the current trends in big data are around hybrid/multi-cloud infrastructures, cloud-based data lakes and data lakehouses, and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML). Citizen users are
now being brought into big data initiatives. Giving secure, governed access to trusted data, for a wide variety of users, is topof-
mind for every organization, and it can be challenging.

How do organizations tackle those challenges? Organizations often seek to establish a monolithic repository of all enterprise data, for simpler access and governance. But data will always be distributed. It may be because certain data repositories were cherry-picked from different cloud providers, or because data is distributed across both cloud and on-premises systems. While cloud data stores help in reducing TCO and increasing the scalability of certain datasets, other datasets remain siloed, posing immense challenges in data access, governance, time-to-insight, and security. This affects the data and analytics goals of any organization.

Logical data fabric is a forward-thinking approach to data management that provides a powerful, distributed, and logical architecture, aimed at addressing the big data challenges of today’s enterprises. A virtual layer, enabled by the Denodo Platform, offers an enterprise-ready foundation for logical data fabric. The Denodo Platform provides a thorough set of components that enable multiple integration strategies, advanced performance techniques, and AI-based recommendations. It also offers multiple UIs tailored for different personas, so big data can be democratized within any organization.

DELIVERING THE SEMANTIC LAYER FOR YOUR DATA LAKEHOUSE

The emerging Data Lakehouse approach is bringing the best of Data Warehouses and Data Lakes in one simple platform to co-locate data from across the enterprise for cost effective analytics and AI use cases. But, despite the promise of Data Lakehouses, they still leave much of the data unconnected and in native form which can require significant effort to unlock its full potential.

Industry analysts recognize the power of a Semantic Layer in delivering integrated, trusted, and real-time views of enterprise data. Knowledge Graphs excel at delivering a Semantic Layer which unifies business data with knowledge bases, industry terms, and domain knowledge.

By overlaying a Knowledge Graph onto a Lakehouse architecture, the combination facilitates more flexible data operations, lowers data integration costs, and delivers powerful insights only possible when data is connected. Adding a Knowledge Graph to your Lakehouse will enable your organization to explore and exploit unknown connections across your data for richer analytics and enhanced Artificial Intelligence capabilities.

Franz’s AllegroGraph platform further extends this Knowledge Graph and Lakehouse combination with a novel Entity-Event Model. This production proven architecture puts core “entities” such as customers, patients, students, or people of interest at the center and then collects several layers of knowledge related to the entity as “events” in temporal context. Adding Franz’s Entity-Event Knowledge Graph to your Lakehouse delivers enhanced discovery, greatly reduced data complexity, and faster results–at scale.

TAKE YOUR LAKEHOUSE INVESTMENT to the next level with AllegroGraph’s Entity-Event Semantic Layer.
