Data Management : Data Fabric (Definitions)

"Enterprise data fabric (EDF) is a data layer that separates data sources from applications, providing the means to solve the gridlock prevalent in distributed environments such as grid computing, service-oriented architecture (SOA) and event-driven architecture (EDA)." (Information Management, 2010)

"A data fabric is an emerging data management and data integration design concept for attaining flexible, reusable and augmented data integration pipelines, services and semantics, in support of various operational and analytics use cases delivered across multiple deployment and orchestration platforms." (Jacob O Lund, "Demystifying the Data Fabric", 2020)

"A data fabric is a data management architecture that can optimize access to distributed data and intelligently curate and orchestrate it for self-service delivery to data consumers." (IBM, "Data Fabric", 2021) [source]

"A data fabric is a modern, distributed data architecture that includes shared data assets and optimized data management and integration processes that you can use to address today’s data challenges in a unified way." (Alice LaPlante, "Data Fabric as Modern Data Architecture", 2021)

"A data fabric is an emerging data management design for attaining flexible and reusable data integration pipelines, services and semantics. A data fabric supports various operational and analytics use cases delivered across multiple deployment and orchestration platforms. Data fabrics support a combination of different data integration styles and leverage active metadata, knowledge graphs, semantics and ML to automate and enhance data integration design and delivery." (Ehtisham Zaidi, "Data Fabric", Gartner's Hype Cycle for Data Management, 2021)

"Is a distributed Data Management platform whose objective is to combine various types of data storage, access, preparation, analytics, and security tools in a fully compliant manner to support seamless Data Management." (Michelle Knight, "What Is a Data Fabric?", 2021)

"A data fabric is a customized combination of architecture and technology. It uses dynamic data integration and orchestration to connect different locations, sources, and types of data. With the right structures and flows as defined within the data fabric platform, companies can quickly access and share data regardless of where it is or how it was generated." (SAP)

"A data fabric is a distributed, memory-based data management platform that uses cluster-wide resources - memory, CPU, network bandwidth, and optionally local disk – to manage application data and application logic (behavior). The data fabric uses dynamic replication and data partitioning techniques to offer continuous availability, very high performance, and linear scalability for data intensive applications, all without compromising on data consistency even when exposed to failure conditions." (VMware)

"A Data Fabric is a technology utilization and implementation design capable of multiple outputs and applied uses." (Gartner)

"A data fabric is an architecture and set of data services that provide consistent capabilities across a choice of endpoints spanning hybrid multicloud environments." (NetApp) [source]

"Data fabric is an end-to-end data integration and management solution, consisting of architecture, data management and integration software, and shared data that helps organizations manage their data. A data fabric provides a unified, consistent user experience and access to data for any member of an organization worldwide and in real-time." (Tibco) [source]
