Forrester Report: Next-generation data fabrics need a metadata strategy

Description

As enterprises want to use all of their data, they face the challenge of bringing and delivering all of their data together, and the high costs of copying the data. Generating new data sources for bespoke use cases creates management chaos for database administrators, stewards, and data engineers. Today, companies prefer to use dynamic data sourcing and delivery, and increased self-service and role-based consumption. The trend is to use Data as a Service (DaaS), however, these architectures can only work with a modern metadata strategy.

In this report, Forrester explains how data fabrics are evolving with cloud-native capabilities to deploy Data as a Service and how DaaS platforms create a decoupled data architecture at scale. According to Forrester, big data integration is the most important component of data and analytics.
