Can you trust the quality of the insights coming from hybrid environments? Learn how HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric delivers global data visibility and seamless access to data sets no matter where they're located.
Data and analytics have never been as important to enterprise decision making as they are today, and recognition of their importance continues to increase. A recent analyst report indicates that 64% of all enterprises said that nearly all or most of their strategic decisions are now data-driven. [1]
But these factors are not the only ones impacting how decisions are made.
The ongoing move away from on-premises architectures to cloud and edge locations continues to grow; unfortunately, so does doubt in the quality of the insights coming from these hybrid environments. When decision makers don't trust their data, they don't use the resulting insights and that increases costs. Costs such as storing the data, time spent analyzing it, and then the cost of it decaying in value because it's sitting around unused.
Let's be honest, data management and analytics across hybrid locations is hard if you are using multiple point solutions for each location. It's hard because data consumers don't have access to or know the lineage of that data. It's hard because data analysts and engineers spend a large portion of their time discovering, copying, and then normalizing the data into another repository — all before they spend time doing what your business needs, unlocking data value.
HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric software
There is a different approach that helps your company conquer these hybrid data challenges. An approach that empowers your business with global data visibility and seamless access to data sets no matter where they are located. That approach is HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric software.
Designed to be target agnostic, this solution can be deployed on-premises, in co-location environments, at the edge, and in Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud PlatformTM. In essence this solution allows any authorized user to see everything and access it from anywhere.
How does this work?
Enterprise-wide data access
Built-into the solution is a native global data plane that spans across all hybrid locations to combine files, objects, tables, and streaming data and metadata into a single logical data source free of duplicates. It enables users to have at-a-glance visibility and direct access through a single management view. Set-up, configuration, geo fencing, and management can also be established across the same view.
The data plane is made powerful with a built-in global namespace and security management system which work together to ensure authorized users have access to data sets required for each project. Automated policies work with this duo to consistently apply security, geo fencing, governance and management policies across hybrid locations reducing risk and costs.
Global namespace
This feature provides a single access point, known as a namespace, to physical servers, share locations, private and public clouds, edge, applications and users. This means a user and the desired data can be thousands of miles apart but accessing the data is as simple as an entry in the user's directory structure.
Simplified data management
HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric software is a single solution with built-in security, data management, and support for the most popular data analytic formats. A user-friendly interface streamlines setup, configuration, security, high availability, and management across hybrid locations. Built-in policies administer fine-grained access controls, security, and governance consistently across all locations. Advanced security features create data sovereignty boundaries and end-to-end encryption protects data at rest and on the wire.
All these features help to reduce costs by reducing the complexity and time spent installing, configuring, and securing every app, tool, and user into multiple analytic solutions. Yet we protect your investment in existing architectures by supporting analytic data formats allowing you to access data on existing lakes and warehouses. Have data that you can't move from a traditional big data repository? No problem, we can handle that as well.
Built for hybrid deployments
Designed for hybrid data locations, HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric software enables global team collaboration and sharing of data across the enterprise. The global data plane delivers a single data source without duplicates increasing trust in the data. Built-in mirroring keeps data synchronized across hybrid deployments which is perfect for use cases such as cloud bursting, moving data across multiple data centers, or edge to core/cloud. Cost efficient data movement lowers cloud egress costs, latency, and performance issues.
