Distributed Data Architecture Patterns Explained
Dataversity, Wednesday, July 12,2023
Distributed data architecture, models using multiple platforms, and processes for data-driven goals continue to generate increased interest. As William McKnight, president of McKnight Consulting Group (MCG) and well-known data architecture advisor, says, 'Seldom a database vendor does not interact with concepts around distributed data architectures: the data lakehouse, data mesh, data fabric, and data cloud, and I am sure you find it true for your interactions.'
In a recent Advanced Analytics (ADV) webinar, McKnight provided information about choosing among distributed data architecture patterns to meet business goals. He provided a high level of each option and the steps needed to implement them. Most importantly, he enabled his audience to understand why to think about a distributed data architecture and what combination would work best with their business environment.
