WHILE THERE WILL BE SOME CIOS WHO TAKE A ‘ SECOND TO ADOPT ’ MENTALITY , OTHERS WHO LEAN INTO IT EARLY WILL REAP THE REWARDS .
The distributed ‘ data mesh ’ approach to realizing data lakes ’ full potential is winning mainstream enterprise adoption
CIOs are increasingly taking advantage of data lake implementations that deliver better data visibility and more effective analytics capabilities . That said , data integrations that allow increased data utilization are essential to realizing the true potential of data lakes and to empowering CIOs ’ teams to achieve the timely data analysis required .
Enterprises are adopting solutions such as open source Apache Kafka in order to harness data and utilize transactional production workloads in real-time within data lakes . They ’ re also increasingly using Kafka Connect to operate analytics services that need both data lake connectivity and active data awareness .
‘ Data mesh ’ strategies now give individual teams the direct control to access , curate and manage the data most important to their activities . This practice – which brings data management in line with the same modernized concepts behind distributed architecture – allows teams to optimize analytics via their own decentralized self-service command over data . Getting this right drives superior results and has caused CIOs across industries to take notice .
