Unlocking Data Governance Excellence with Unity Catalog

Federated Data Governance and Delta Sharing

As organizations grapple with ever-increasing data complexity and regulatory demands, effective data governance has become a critical differentiator. Unity Catalog, a unified governance solution for Azure/AWS Databricks, is redefining how enterprises manage and share data. At Diggibyte Technologies, we empower businesses to leverage Unity Catalog to achieve robust federated data governance and seamless data/delta sharing, ensuring that your data practices align with operational needs and compliance standards.

What is Federated Data Governance?

Federated data governance enables organizations to maintain a cohesive governance framework while allowing individual business units or regions to operate autonomously. Unity Catalog supports federated governance by:

• Centralizing Policy Enforcement: Implement and enforce role-based access controls (RBAC) and attribute-based access controls (ABAC) from a single point of truth.
• Auditing and Lineage Tracking: Track the data lifecycle across domains for complete transparency and accountability.
• Decentralized Management: Empower teams to define granular access policies specific to their needs while adhering to global standards.

With federated governance, organisations strike the perfect balance between centralised control and decentralised flexibility, ensuring security, compliance, and operational efficiency.

Revolutionizing Data Sharing with Delta Sharing

Unity Catalog takes data sharing to the next level with Delta Sharing, the first open protocol for secure data exchange. Key features include:

• Seamless Interoperability: Share live data across platforms like Databricks, Snowflake, and Tableau without replication or ETL processes.
• Scalable Sharing Models: Enable secure sharing at scale with support for both structured and unstructured data.
• Governance at Scale: Maintain data lineage, audits, and access controls, even when sharing data externally.

Delta Sharing ensures that your data collaboration is not only efficient but also secure, making it a game-changer for enterprises working in diverse ecosystems.
