Data Services are made reliable and robust when data is treated as a system. Leveraging capability inherent in newer protocols for data management and networking, large scale architectures can be made data-centric. Dis-aggregation of data and service makes data systems portable across hybrid, multi-cloud environments, accelerates standardization, simplifies infrastructure and empowers distributed data discovery. Data Services delivered with a system methodology drives operational simplicity, enablement and delivery of a data management platform “as a Service” tailored to mission need.
