Ensuring Governance and Cross-Platform Interoperability with Open Catalogs

As organizations evolve their data infrastructures to support modernization efforts, they are often dealing with multiple engines and data repositories, including cloud data warehouses and data lakes in both on-premises and cloud implementations. Ensuring interoperability and governance across many engines is a significant challenge for organizations, and consolidating by migrating to a single, closed platform can be costly.
TDWI research highlights that one of the top obstacles in working across distributed platforms is the lack of standardized data. It can be difficult to analyze this data or utilize it in many applications. Catalogs can play an important role in overcoming these challenges by providing a single source of truth, enabling reliable operations, and supporting atomic transactions across multiple platforms. As organizations increasingly adopt multi-engine architectures, interoperable catalogs become more critical to maintain data integrity, reduce complexity, and mitigate the risks associated with vendor lock-in.
Join TDWI and Snowflake as they discuss how open source catalogs can help drive interoperability and governance across platforms. Topics include:
- The current data landscape and challenges organizations are facing with multiple platforms
- How open standards can help governance across multiple engines
- An overview of Apache Polaris (incubating)
