Data Vault 2.0 on Azure
In our first article of this blog series, we have introduced the requirements of a modern data analytics platform. The foundation for this framework is the Data Vault 2.0 System of Business Intelligence. This article presents the Data Vault 2.0 reference architecture based on data lakes and we discuss how we implement it on the Microsoft Azure cloud. However, the architecture is not limited to the Azure cloud: the last article defined the data analytics platform as a distributed solution that can span across multiple environments. For example, our clients have implemented distributed platforms that span across multiple cloud regions, implement a multi-cloud scenario or integrate cloud solutions with on-premises solutions. In addition, the architecture is not limited to relational databases. Data Vault 2.0 is a concept increasingly used for NoSQL databases where semi-structured and unstructured data is processed.
