Data Fabrics are a mature architecture, perfect for preparing and managing data at scale. Data Lakehouses and Data Mesh have emerged recently as paradigms to solve complexity and cost, driving value and insight from your data. Making sense of the information is a challenge for organisations today. We invite you to join Cloudera APAC Field CTO, Daniel Hand as he demystifies the emerging data architectures of Data Lake House, Data Mesh and Data Fabric and explores important questions like how can you effectively implement modern data architectures? Do you need more than one? Which will make the biggest impact on your business?
• 9:46 am Closing the Data Value Gap Using A Democratisation Approach(Sit-Down September 2023) Today, only 32% of the companies realise tangible business value from their data initiatives, and 60 - 73% of the data within enterprises still need to be explored.
