Data Virtualization and Its Benefits for Business Users
Data is all there is to the Internet. Whether that data is made up of file work or your favorite picture of your daughter, it’s all data. So, if everything on the Internet is data, how do organizations like AWS (Amazon Web Services) and Microsoft deal with their management? Does cloud management have anything to do with it? Can business users of the cloud have easy access to data so they can come up with real-time solutions for their consumers?
The answer to all these questions is data virtualization. Data virtualization can be defined as the extra layer of logical data that is added to make reading it easier and faster for people. This way, people won’t have to go through heaps of data to find one single detail. So, let’s see how data virtualization works.
Data virtualization is essentially an approach to data management that makes it convenient for people to read it, making it a faster process. Think of it as summarizing a really big book into pie charts so people can understand it better. Reading data becomes more agile, and organizations can manage their data better.
