Data virtualization had been held back by complexity for decades until recent advances in cloud technology, data lakes, networking hardware, and machine learning transformed the dream into reality. In this fireside chat, hear from authors of the new O’Reilly book Data Virtualization in the Cloud, Dr. Daniel Abadi and Andrew Mott, as they discuss in detail what data virtualization is and the trends in technology that are making data virtualization increasingly useful. Moderated by Starburst’s Field CDO Adrian Estala, the trio will explore the architecture of modern data virtualization systems and learn how these systems differ from one another at technical and practical levels.
