Stambia for Data Hub

Discover how the Data Hub architecture allows you to centralize and distribute your data. In a simple and effective way:

• Gain reactivity to make your information system evolve,
• Provide flexibility by supporting different types of exchanges: batch, streaming, real-time.

Thanks to its unified solution and scalable technology, Stambia allows you to accelerate and industrialize the construction of a reliable architecture for exchanges between your applications in half-flow mode, called Data Hub.

 

Stambia at the center of data exchange in a Data Hub architecture

Depending on the construction and evolution of the information system, the data can be duplicated in various applications. Storage needs are rapidly increasing, and difficulties appear to be encountered in conducting impact studies, maintaining flows and replicating data-related changes.

To meet these challenges, the Data Hub architecture centralizes reference and transactional data. The collected data can easily be distributed and include a subscription system (publish and subscribe).

Thus, the implementation of a Data Hub architecture is a facilitator for:

• Consolidating and streamlining the most commonly used data into a central point
• Establishing an effective data control system to improve data quality
• Ensuring traceability on flows and offering statistical monitoring of the company's activity
• Improving knowledge of the exchanged data
• Gradually building the company data model

An architecture based on a storage system

The Data Hub is an architecture based on a standard storage system, for example a relational database. To extend its capabilities, it can easily be combined with a Datalake system: archiving so-called unstructured data from social networks, capturing data generated by the IOT, etc.

The Data Hub helps to structure exchanges between application bricks, streamline usage and improve general knowledge around company data.

The Data Hub is an architecture that provides a business view of the company's data. The data model is centralized and can be easily shared.

The storage of transactions and reference data within the Data Hub facilitates the mechanisms:

• management of subscriptions on the data
• data historization

The organization becomes more agile when it comes to restoring data from the business model, implementing legal audits, or migrating data between applications.

The Data Hub contains control and traceability models to ensure data quality and audit. The implementation of rejection rules as well as centralized business rules guarantees the integrity of the business model.

Thanks to the half-flow principle, the decoupling of applications and systems is facilitated.

The Data Hub's urbanization concept makes it possible to shorten lead times and control the impact of any changes to the information system.

The Data Hub is based on a storage system such as relational databases. It is an efficient and robust component controlled by IT teams.

Stambia's ELT architecture optimizes and enhances the Data Hub.

The coupling of this architecture with the Stambia solution allows:

• The provision of ready-to-use data
• Processing large volumes of data
• The implementation of high availability solutions
• Management of the depth of data historization
• Centralization of Webservices / APIs for data exposure
• …

The storage system on which the Data Hub is based has a standard query language: for example SQL for a relational database. On other systems, there is often a SQL or similar compatibility layer. The structured query language (SQL) is similar to natural language. It allows you to perform many operations on models and data: search, add, modify, delete. It becomes very easy to set up a required business layer.

Naturally, through its data and business-oriented vision, the Data Hub facilitates interactions with business teams.

How does Stambia accelerate the implementation of a Data Hub architecture ?

Due to its unified solution and scalable technology, Stambia makes it possible to accelerate and industrialize the construction of a reliable architecture for exchanges between applications in half-flow mode, called Data Hub. Ensure the success of your projects by breaking down the barriers between your information system and provide your business teams with readability.
