The logical data fabric powered by data virtualization is gaining momentum in enterprise architectures by virtue of its logical and real-time data integration and management capabilities. A well build data fabric platform supports data analytics, cataloging, self-service, governance, etc. and, at the same time offers strategies for optimizing cross-platform performance (such as dynamic query optimization, caching capabilities, summary tables, or in-memory computing), even across multiple cloud providers.
This Checklist Report examines the six most popular and frequently used solution categories that are enabled by a logical data fabric architecture.
