The rapid growth of enterprise data presents a significant challenge - gaining competitive advantage from this data while navigating the complexities of silos and fragmented infrastructures. Studies indicate that data silos limit enterprises to utilizing only a fraction of their data, especially unstructured data, which constitutes 90% of all data generated.
This PoV examines how data virtualization addresses these challenges by providing seamless access to diverse data sources without requiring physical relocation. Data virtualization enables organizations to create a unified, comprehensive view of their data, unlocking real-time insights and accelerating decision-making.
We also detail key attributes of a strong data virtualization solution, including agility, scalability, low-latency queries, and strategic caching. These capabilities allow CIOs to develop adaptable, efficient, and cost-effective data infrastructures that enhance agility and drive competitive edge.
