New Research Identifies How to Accelerate Data Virtualization Adoption

The challenges of data management are getting exponentially harder. These ever-increasing data quantities, diversity and distribution are revolutionizing data management, opening the door for new solutions such as data virtualization.

Data virtualization fulfills a range of business demands for data, supports high iteration and fast response times, all while saving significant IT costs.

Radiant Advisors is a leading strategic research and advisory firm that helps transform today’s organizations into tomorrow’s data-driven industry leaders.  They recently teamed with Cisco to better understand the barriers experienced by companies considering data virtualization and see how companies that have already adopted data virtualization overcame them.

The Data Virtualization Adoption Dilemma

Data virtualization is an advanced technology with nearly every major research and consulting firm provides architectural blueprints that include a logical business semantic layer.

Yet only some companies have it, leaving data virtualization an often-missed opportunity for business and IT to keep pace with today’s volatile data landscape.

To achieve the benefits of data virtualization, companies need to take the leap.

Unique Research Formula

To better understand data virtualization adoption barriers, Radiant Advisors’ Research Director, Lindy Ryan, interviewed a broad, pre-adopter community to understand their perceptions and concerns.  These top-of-mind issues were then posited to companies that have already adopted data virtualization, who then anonymously shared the insights, best practices, and lessons they learned in overcoming barriers to data virtualization adoption.

The resulting research report, Overcoming Barriers to Data Virtualization Adoption, consolidated these findings into clear counsel intended to guide potential adopters to overcome perceived barriers.
