A data fabric applies continuous analytics to existing, discoverable, and inferred metadata assets to help design, deploy, and use integrated and reusable data across all environments, including hybrid and multi-cloud platforms. — What Is a Data Fabric? A data fabric is a unified architecture that uses data to provide consistent capabilities across endpoints in a hybrid multi-cloud environment. A data fabric improves visibility, access, and control by establishing standardized data management practices. Most importantly, it creates consistency, allowing data to be used and shared throughout your environment.
