Episode 20: Data Virtualization
Guest: Keith Hollen
Data Virtualization technologies can be used in a number of different ways, including real-time operational reporting and analytics against multiple source systems, and quick-and-dirty data exploration! As business users increasingly expect to have direct access to data for self-service analytics, data virtualization can be an effective way to make that possible.
In this episode, QueBIT Data Expert Keith Hollen explains what data virtualization is, and how it fits into the pantheon of data management tools and strategies. While not a replacement for a true data warehouse, it can be a viable alternative to an Operational Data Store to enable analytics and reporting. Keith ends with Good and Bad Use Case examples to help explain when data virtualization may be valuable, and when it likely will not be.
