In this segment, Scott Gnau, head of data platforms at InterSystems, discusses the emergence of smart data fabrics in response to today’s data challenges and the limitations of alternative solutions. He elaborates on how building a data lake or moving your data warehouse to the cloud doesn't address the challenges associated with new types of data, analytics, timeliness and business user self-service requirements that organizations demand to meet their ever-increasing needs from the business.

Scott Gnau joined InterSystems in 2019 as Vice President of Data Platforms, overseeing the development, management, and sales of the InterSystems IRIS™ family of data platforms.
Gnau brings more than 20 years of experience in the data management space helping lead technology and data architecture initiatives for enterprise-level organizations. He joins InterSystems from HortonWorks, where he served as chief technology officer.
