Actian's Data Intelligence Platform is designed to perform metadata management for the enterprise in the easiest most logic way. But what is metadata and what is metadata management? At its core, metadata can be defined as data that is in two places at once.
It sits at source with the thing it describes, and it also sits in a dedicated place where you can search and find those sources. Think of a book title.
It's on the cover of the book at source and in, for example, the online books show, so you can search and find the book itself. Actian's Data Intelligence Platform is exactly that. The metadata in our platform is what enables you to search, find, and manage your enterprise data placed in the sources underneath our platform in the data layer itself.
The layer that we call the hybrid multi-cloud data infrastructure. Altogether, metadata management consists of a series of technical sub capabilities to deliver features such as AI governance, ontologies, data discovery, and much more. And that is what metadata management is all about.
To manage your data infrastructure most efficiently, you need the metadata layer to oversee the data itself and push the data infrastructure to deliver on the strategic innovative use cases for your enterprise. Finally, and you may find this surprising coming from a technology vendor, metadata management is always performed in multiple technologies. In Actian, we understand this and we always care for the plan to be part of a bigger ecosystem.
Exactly because the hybrid multi-cloud data infrastructure in your enterprise creates a metadata layer with multiple components to it. Most technology windows shy away from this fact.
In Actian, we don't, because we know that for you to be successful, we must help you through your actual infrastructure. Metadata management is the key to succeed with data for AI. That is why we deliver metadata management to your enterprise because we know that your data is your future.
