  • Whisper Report: Six Use Cases Enabled by Data Virtualization Platforms

    Online Research Summary

    ABSTRACT

    When selecting technologies for your data architecture, it is important to understand common use cases enabled by the technology. This research examines six use cases enabled by data virtualization and the architecture capabilities used to support the use case. To this end, we examine the customer/enterprise 360 view of data that is also met by the logical data warehouse (LDW) architecture use case. We also evaluate the use cases of the large, hybrid multi-cloud environments, data lake acceleration, collaboration with external master data management (MDM) and data catalog solutions, managing Excel as well as application integration.
