As the report states, “at its core, Active Data Architecture is an abstraction layer translating business and physical structures. It is an architecture dynamically optimized for performance, scalability, and cost management.” It later states that “in essence, an active data architecture provides (among other things) a layer of abstraction enabling data to be managed and applied in an application-independent manner. Arising from this concept of application-independent data is the notion of a semantic layer—an integrated, semantically aligned and consistent representation of data objects and views necessary for critical business processes and operations.”

Denodo Platform

The Denodo Platform embodies the core principles and features of Active Data Architecture™ as defined by Dresner. Denodo employs a logical approach to data management, which enables organizations to manage data in an application-independent manner, without having to first replicate it. On top of that, Denodo offers a variety of data integration techniques, including real-time integration via data virtualization; a universal semantic layer to provide data to multiple user groups in everyday business language; a full-featured data marketplace; advanced AI-powered data management features, end-to-end data governance and security, and support for governed, AI-ready data.

Expert Commentary

“A key point about Active Data Architecture is that it is not a ‘rip and replace’ exercise,” said Howard Dresner, chief research officer, Dresner Advisory Services. “It is an evolution of existing analytic data infrastructure such as data integration capabilities, data warehouses, etc., to meet the requirements of ever more complex, diverse, and distributed BI and analytics use cases and applications. We congratulate Denodo on its rating as a top vendor in this report, for the second year in a row.”
