Data fabric is an architecture designed to integrate siloed data across organizations, allowing users to treat disparate data sources as a cohesive whole. Recognizing that many enterprises can't consolidate all data into a single data lake, this approach abstracts interactions with individual silos including both traditional and NoSQL databases. Though the concept, coined in the 2000s, is still evolving with varying interpretations among vendors, its importance lies in facilitating efficient data utilization and seamless management in a complex data landscape.
Data fabric serves as an abstraction layer, enabling unified access to siloed data, thus treating organizational data as a single large store.
The idea of a data fabric is to automate data discovery and simplify data management across heterogeneous storage systems.
