A new independent survey by AtScale,
the intelligent data virtualization provider for advanced analytics, in
collaboration with Cloudera and ODPi, a Linux Foundation Project,
reveals that 79% of enterprises want better integrated security and
governance for their data in the cloud.
"As
more enterprises embrace cloud transformation, IT and data teams face
increased pressure to harness the power of data and analytics for
business intelligence," said Christopher Lynch, executive chairman and
chief executive officer at AtScale. "Hybrid cloud and multi-cloud
strategies are key to big data analytics. New data regulations and
cybersecurity vulnerabilities are creating roadblocks for IT teams
looking to use data for business intelligence, which is why data
virtualization and data governance are top priorities in 2020."
The Big Data & Analytics Maturity 2020 Survey polled
more than 150 data and analytics leaders, IT/business intelligence
practitioners, and business professionals from multiple industries
around the globe on their enterprise cloud strategy, and their data and
analytics priorities and challenges.
The
survey results reveal the majority of enterprises are choosing a
multi-cloud or hybrid cloud strategy, and that data virtualization and
data governance are top priorities for big data and analytics leaders.
Key findings from the survey include:
- The Majority (79%) of Enterprises Use Multi-Cloud or Hybrid Cloud Strategies - Only 24% of those surveyed said they are all in with a single cloud vendor.
- Companies Are Implementing Data Virtualization - More than half (55%) of respondents plan to invest in data virtualization in the near future if they are not already.
- Data Governance Is a Top Challenge Across the Board - 80% of respondents said that data governance is very important to them.
"In
partnering with AtScale on this report, we have found further
confirmation of how critical Data Governance is in companies'
multi-cloud strategies, and the unique value the Cloudera Data Platform
provides," said Dan Wilson, Director of ISV Alliances at Cloudera. "Our
Shared Data Experience (SDX), which is core to our entire platform,
allows companies to set data and metadata policies for security and
governance policies once and automatically enforce them across all data
and analytics pipelines in hybrid as well as multi-cloud."
"With
the amount of data sharing happening across platforms and systems, data
governance continues to be a top priority across the board with 80% of
respondents stating that data governance is very important to them,"
said John Mertic, director at ODPi. "We see open source technologies as
pathways towards unifying metadata silos and enabling compliance
policies."
AtScale's
intelligent data virtualization platform redefines traditional data
virtualization enabling enterprises to deliver on the promise of cloud
transformation. The company's latest AtScale Adaptive Analytics 2020.1 platform release
provides customers with secure self-service analysis, while reducing
compute costs, improving query performance, and enhancing user
concurrency.
