Modern Data Integration Requires Hybrid Multicloud Data Fabric

What if data really is the fuel that powers engines of insight? Imagine a world exactly like ours in every way except for one key difference.

Data Integration is the Key to the Connected Future

“Satya Nadella has once again told us all where the puck is going to be and invited everyone to skate there with him. At this year’s Microsoft Ignite conference keynote, “A cloud built for the next decade,” Nadella laid out the first compelling vision of a truly distributed computing future, prominently putting Microsoft and Azure on the line to go build it. Data-driven enterprises will become connected enterprises, ones that unleash productivity, lower risk/cost and decrease time to insight/value.
