Demystifying Data Fabric

Build a Smarter Data Strategy with Clarity, Context, and Control

Data fabric is one of the most talked-about trends in data and analytics — but few teams fully understand what it means, what it includes, or how it compares to alternatives like data mesh or traditional ETL. This guide cuts through the noise and provides a clear, vendor-neutral explanation of data fabric architecture, use cases, and benefits.

Whether you’re evaluating your current stack or considering your first fabric implementation, this eBook will help you assess if it’s the right fit — and how to get started the right way.

You’ll learn:

• How data fabric works — and how it compares to data mesh, data lakes, and virtualization
• The core components that make a fabric effective, from active metadata to orchestration
• Key use cases, including real-time analytics, self-service, data product delivery, and GenAI enablement
