Data Fabric Within an Enterprise Architecture

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Data Fabric and Data Mesh Approaches with AI

Abstract

Any data architecture, and therefore also our Data Fabric architecture, needs to be looked at in conjunction with the implemented application architecture in an existing enterprise landscape. Many organizations are in the process to modernize and digitalize their application and data landscape. Applications have different requirements with respect to data characteristics, which may recommend a particular data architecture implementation over another, for example, characterized by data access based on data virtualization or data replication and transformation.
