Data Mesh: A Modern Data Architecture

Overview

Enable teams to manage and serve data-as-a-product across the organization.

Data mesh helps organizations overcome limitations posed by traditional monolithic approaches toward data architectures. While distributed architectures developed on hybrid platforms are certainly the way to go, you need to ensure that these are created in a way that drives more ownership and governance.

Cloudera enables organizations to adopt a data mesh that is aligned with the key principles of the architecture:

Domain ownership

Can be assigned at any level of granularity and with ownership comes the delegated responsibilities of managing metadata, access, and use policies for all workloads.

Data-as-a-product

Supports wider thinking about the F.A.I.R qualities— findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable—by making data easy to discover, self-describing, and accessible for use.

Self-service data platform

Enables domains to choose which data infrastructure services are deployed and at what scale, as well as manage the roles that use those tools within the team.

Federated governance

Address global and regulatory constraints and policies with a federated service to protect data and systems

Key Components

All of your data. Anywhere. Securely.
