Data Federation

Data federation is a method used to integrate data from multiple sources into a unified view without physically moving or copying it. Imagine you have information stored in different places, like a library and an online database. Instead of collecting all the books and files in one location, data federation allows you to access and query both sources simultaneously. This means you can get a comprehensive overview of the data while keeping it in its original locations, making it easier to analyze and make decisions without duplication or unnecessary delays.
