A unified data mesh layer breaks down data silos by allowing data to remain in its original, decentralized location at the edge – but be accessed, queried, and analyzed holistically. Traditionally, in order to get a complete view of their data, organizations would have to copy or move large quantities of data to a central location for analysis. This is time- and bandwidth-consuming, and leads to delays and version control issues. Elastic can serve as a data mesh that connects all of an organization’s data – no matter the type or location – for real-time visibility and accurate insights.
