Introducing our Updated Data Vault 2.0 Technology Landscape

Updated Data Vault technology landscape 2022 / 2023

We are delighted to announce an updated version of our Data Vault Technology Landscape infographic with the accompanying Market Guide for the Winter 2022/2023.

With over 2,000 downloads of previous iterations of the Market Guide alone, we thought it would be worth producing an updated version. We have received feedback from practitioners around the world with suggestions and products that could be included. Thank you to those who have taken the time to give us feedback and we would be grateful for any further suggestions you may care to make. In a dynamic and ever-evolving market, it requires regular updates to stay relevant.

How to use the Landscape

The Landscape Infographic is not an exhaustive guide and we do not claim to necessarily have everything correct, but we hope that it will be useful to others in the community to understand the plethora of products being used in the Data Vault ecosystem.

This guide provides the next level of detail with short descriptions of the underlying companies/products behind the logos, presented in an easy to navigate manner with a short summary it gives links to the product/company websites for further information.

New categories

This Winter 2022/2023 update follows industry developments with new categories added to facilitate the emergence or growth of different disciplines. CI/CD (Continuous Integration, and Continuous Delivery/Continuous Deployment) has been added as a category that we expect to see growing more and more in importance. Data governance has always been important but reflecting its increasing prominence, we have added a data catalogue section as it is being increasingly recognised that high-quality data pipelines are necessary.

Another new category is dedicated to Data Vault automation tools. There is a broad industry-wide recognition that one of the strengths of a Data Vault approach is that it lends itself to automation and new tools are appearing. We have included new tools such as VaultSpeed and Data Vault Builder for the first time.

Changing logos

There is a range of new companies added with a range of removals and adjustments to account for mergers and acquisitions. For example, Google has acquired Looker as they share a similar philosophy, regarding cloud solutions, Looker becomes part of a much larger multinational company, increasing Looker’s reach and facilitating the growth of the business at a higher velocity.

New players have also affected the market by bringing new business offerings to the table, an example of this is StreamDF an emerging company leveraging live reporting and transactional systems.

The new category of CI/CD allows for further accuracy in the classification of the new and emerging companies adding like Team City and cicleci reflecting the changing nature of the landscape.

The removal of some products/companies as elements within the landscape is due to a variety of influences, from rebranding to a reposition away from Data Vault entirely.

Conclusion

The Landscape is not an exhaustive guide and we do not claim to necessarily have everything correct, but we hope that it will be useful to others, particularly those new to the community.

We know it is not perfect so please get in touch if you believe we can improve the landscape in a future edition. We welcome your feedback.
