SCC and IBM Data Fabric: Unlock your data for AI

SCC and IBM Data Fabric: Unlock your data for AI

Data is the lifeblood of every modern organisation, and it’s being created, stored, and analysed at an unprecedented rate across industries. But it isn’t enough to simply collect and store large volumes of data; businesses need to access, govern, and use this data, to drive digital transformation and successful AI adoption seamlessly and securely.

Data Fabric explained

A data fabric is a data management architecture that can optimise access to distributed data and intelligently curate and orchestrate it for self-service delivery to data consumers. With a data fabric, you can elevate the value of your enterprise data by providing users access to the right data just in time, regardless of where it is stored. A data fabric architecture is agnostic to data environments, data processes, data use and geography, while integrating core data management capabilities. It automates data discovery, governance, and consumption, delivering business-ready data for analytics and AI.

The challenge

• Lack of data access
• Numerous data sources and data types
• Data integration complexities

The solution

With a data fabric, your business users and data scientists can access trusted data faster for their applications, analytics, AI and machine learning models, and business process automation, helping to improve decision making and drive digital transformation. Technical teams can use a data fabric to radically simplify data management and governance in complex hybrid and multi-cloud data landscapes while significantly reducing costs and risk.

Data fabric delievered on IBM Cloud Pak for Data

IBM Cloud Pak for Data, delivered in partnership with SCC, provides a data fabric solution for faster, trusted AI outcomes. Connect the right data, at the right time, to the right people, from anywhere it’s needed. Use a unified platform that spans hybrid and multi-cloud environments to ingest, explore, prepare, manage, govern, and serve petabyte-scale data for business-ready AI.

Key features

The benefits

• Enable self-service data consumption – Self-service, real-time data access lets business users spend less time on finding the right data and more time uncovering tangible insights that drive faster response to market changes.
• Automate governance and data security – Apply industry-specific governance rules quickly across enterprise data by using active metadata to enable automatic policy enforcement for data protection.
