Data Federation

Data federation provides a virtual way to use data from multiple sources without physically manipulating or moving data in enterprise systems

Data federation allows the benefits of data integration without moving the operational data from its source systems. Data federation provides real-time access to data from across the enterprise, providing a single point of access to data drawn from multiple systems.

DataFlux offers industry-leading technology that provides real-time delivery of federated data.

  • Leaves data in the operational data systems where it is created
  • Uses federated queries for on-demand data access
  • Useful for applications where up-to-date context is required
  • Employs a data integration service layer for transformation

Benefits of Data Federation

Data federation is a useful approach in scenarios where it would be too costly to create and manage a database for the integrated data. The technology also aids organizations who have legal or ethical restrictions on the movement and consolidation of data (such as patient or financial data).

  • Offers an alternative to data warehousing
  • Provides real-time data access to multiple sources without migrating data
  • Increases visibility into enterprise data
  • Reduces costs and complexity
  • Eliminates need for additional relational database servers
  • Saves time by eliminating multiple, manual data source queries
