Data is most likely your organization’s most valuable asset, yet many struggle with fragmented data landscapes with streaming, structured, semi-structured and aggregated data sitting across a range data sources. Data Virtualisation removes the need to physically move this data to a central repository for exploration and analysis and acts as a single, unified access point for users to query and manipulate data across a range of data sources. Organisations across various sectors like Financial Services, Telecommunication, IT, Mass Media, and Pharmaceutical are applying data Virtualisation technology to realise their data strategies and digital transformation. Analysts are predicting even wider adoption of Data Virtualisation, in fact Gartner has estimated that by the end of 2022 around 60% of organisations will implement Data Virtualisation as a key delivery style in their data integration architecture. It is therefore critical that as Data Professionals or Enthusiasts, we begin to familiarise ourselves with Data Virtualisation solutions and leverage the lessons learned from existing deployments to help build and exploit one of the most important data integration patterns today. Until now, it has been fairly difficult for learners to readily access curated materials on the topic of Data Virtualisation, largely due to the fairly patchy and technical landscape that we need to navigate when trying to understand the subject area.
