Data virtualization
It is process of integrating data from many disparate sources in real-time or near real-time to support various business requirements.
It involves integrating, transforming and delivering data as a service to support applications and processes.
It makes use of the federated database technology. Data Virtualization can play the role of AGILE BI development
- Virtual Data Profiling
- Data Quality
- Advanced Data-Caching
- ETL Integrator Tool
- BI interfaces.
The Business Analyst or the Inline manager can dig in the DW/mart directly but in an integrated way.
The IT and the business team can work on the same Data Integrator logic, thereby changing the traditional way of making a change request which takes lot of turnaround time (from ETL, Staging, DW, Metadata to reporting teams).
Once satisfied with the logic (post the collaboration of the business and the IT team) the data acquisition logic can be implemented at the ETL layer & thereby enriching the Data Warehouse.
Hence, DV can provide agility to the organization’s Data Integration and business intelligence processes :
- Operationalized reports to be based on centralized logic,
- Decoupling the BI tools from the data acquisition logic i.e. allowing all tools to connect with the metadata layer.
