Data Fabric And Data Mesh Approaches With Ai

Understand modern data fabric and data mesh concepts using AI-based self-service data discovery and delivery capabilities, a range of intelligent data integration styles, and automated unified data governance—all designed to deliver "data as a product" within hybrid cloud landscapes. This book teaches you how to successfully deploy state-of-the-art data mesh solutions and gain a comprehensive overview on how a data fabric architecture uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for automated metadata management and self-service data discovery and consumption. You will learn how data fabric and data mesh relate to other concepts such as data DataOps, MLOps, AIDevOps, and more. Many examples are included to demonstrate how to modernize the consumption of data to enable a shopping-for-data (data as a product) experience. By the end of this book, you will understand the data fabric concept and architecture as it relates to themes such as automated unified data governance and compliance, enterprise information architecture, AI and hybrid cloud landscapes, and intelligent cataloging and metadata management. What You Will Learn Discover best practices and methods to successfully implement a data fabric architecture and data mesh solution Understand key data fabric capabilities, e.g., self-service data discovery, intelligent data integration techniques, intelligent cataloging and metadata management, and trustworthy AI Recognize the importance of data fabric to accelerate digital transformation and democratize data access Dive into important data fabric topics, addressing current data fabric challenges Conceive data fabric and data mesh concepts holistically within an enterprise context Become acquainted with the business benefits of data fabric and data mesh Who This Book Is For Anyone who is interested in deploying modern data fabric architectures and data mesh solutions within an enterprise, including IT and business leaders, data governance and data office professionals, data stewards and engineers, data scientists, and information and data architects. Readers should have a basic understanding of enterprise information architecture.

Many enterprises are investing in a next-generation data lake, hoping to democratize data at scale to provide business insights and ultimately make automated intelligent decisions. In this practical book, author Zhamak Dehghani reveals that, despite the time, money, and effort poured into them, data warehouses and data lakes fail when applied at the scale and speed of today's organizations. A distributed data mesh is a better choice. Dehghani guides architects, technical leaders, and decision makers on their journey from monolithic big data architecture to a sociotechnical paradigm that draws from modern distributed architecture. A data mesh considers domains as a first-class concern, applies platform thinking to create self-serve data infrastructure, treats data as a product, and introduces a federated and computational model of data governance. This book shows you why and how. Examine the current data landscape from the perspective of business and organizational needs, environmental challenges, and existing architectures Analyze the landscape's underlying characteristics and failure modes Get a complete introduction to data mesh principles and its constituents Learn how to design a data mesh architecture Move beyond a monolithic data lake to a distributed data mesh.

We're at an inflection point in data, where our data management solutions no longer match the complexity of organizations, the proliferation of data sources, and the scope of our aspirations to get value from data with AI and analytics. In this practical book, author Zhamak Dehghani introduces data mesh, a decentralized sociotechnical paradigm drawn from modern distributed architecture that provides a new approach to sourcing, sharing, accessing, and managing analytical data at scale. Dehghani guides practitioners, architects, technical leaders, and decision makers on their journey from traditional big data architecture to a distributed and multidimensional approach to analytical data management. Data mesh treats data as a product, considers domains as a primary concern, applies platform thinking to create self-serve data infrastructure, and introduces a federated computational model of data governance. Get a complete introduction to data mesh principles and its constituents Design a data mesh architecture Guide a data mesh strategy and execution Navigate organizational design to a decentralized data ownership model Move beyond traditional data warehouses and lakes to a distributed data mesh

Many organizations recognize the value and benefits Artificial Intelligence (AI) can bring if implemented correctly. This topic is outlined in the authors' previous book, Artificial Intelligence: Evolution and Revolution. A long-standing challenge that many organizations continue to face is preparing for AI and making sure that their data and assets are accessible, manageable, and governed and are of the right quality so that they can be consumed by new and existing AI applications in order to infuse AI across the enterprise to help drive smarter business outcomes. Over the years, numerous paradigms and efforts have attempted to address the complexities of managing sprawling and disparate data silos, but all seemed to have fallen short of their promises and expectations. Organizations need the flexibility to put their data and assets where it makes most business sense, whether that's on premises or in the private or public cloud. This book attempts to explain the concepts and values that a data fabric approach can deliver to both technical and business communities.

Creativity must be turned into innovation that adds value and leads to strategic action. Innovation is often associated with Silicon Valley, expensive research and development departments, and expensive commercialization that primarily benefits a small portion of the world’s population. A small portion of the world’s population working together to solve wicked green problems is not enough either. Green creativity and eco-innovation are necessary to help solve green problems by making products and services available and affordable to the masses. Multidisciplinary Approaches in AI, Creativity, Innovation, and Green Collaboration focuses on the importance of green creativity, eco-innovation, and collaboration to create a more sustainable world. It builds on the available literature and joint expertise in the field of management while providing further research opportunities in this dynamic field. Covering topics such as eco-leadership, green marketing, and social responsibility communication, this premier reference source is a comprehensive and timely resource for government officials, decision makers, business leaders and executives, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.
