Myth Busters: Can data virtualization uphold performance with complex queries?

WHAT IT'S ABOUT

There are myths about data virtualization that are based on misconceptions and even falsehoods. These myths can confuse and worry people who - quite rightly - look at data virtualization as a critical technology for a modern, agile data architecture. In this Lunch & Learn we've decided that we need to set the record straight. It's time to bust a few myths! 

In this Lunch & Learn Session, we’ll be busting the 'performance' myth. “What about performance?” is usually the first question that we get when talking to people about data virtualization. After all, the data virtualization layer sits between you and your data, so how does this affect the performance of your queries? Sometimes the myth is perpetuated by people with alternative solutions…the ‘Put all your data in our Cloud and everything will be fine. Data virtualization? Nah, you don’t need that! It can't handle big queries anyway,’ type of thing.

Watch as we explore the basis of the 'performance' myth and examine whether there is any underlying truth to it.
