How to

Blindata offers a set of features that supports the migration to the cloud and the management of fully cloud or hybrid environments.

Before migrating to the cloud, it’s essential to understand what data assets an organization has and where they’re located. Blindata Data Catalog provides a comprehensive view of an organization’s data assets, including their structure, relationships, and dependencies, making it easier to identify what data needs to be migrated. Blindata Agent automatically collects metadata, connecting to both on premise systems as well as cloud services, making easy for the team to verify the alignment between old and new infrastructure.

Migrating data to the cloud involves moving a large amount of data from an on-premise data center to the target system on the cloud. During this process, data must be consistent, accurate, and free from errors, and it must be organized in a way that supports the specific use cases and applications in the cloud. Blindata Data Quality allows the definition of Key Quality Indicators and, leveraging Blindata Agent’s on premise and cloud connectors, constantly monitors the quality metrics. KQIs are graphically represented in Blindata’s Quality Dashboards. Moreover, thanks to the integration of Blindata Data Quality with Blindata Data Catalog and Blindata Business Glossary, data assets and business entities mapping includes KQIs. Data Quality monitoring requires a clear definition of responsibilities and is exactly what Blindata Data Stewardship does, while Blindata Issue Management automatically generates issues and notifications when Data Quality levels are lower than expected.

While they’re moving applications and data to the Cloud, organizations must identify the level of protection required for each type of data and apply appropriate security measures during migration. To help companies in this task, Blindata Data Classification links Business Entities and Business Terms to Physical Entities, like tables, columns, reports, views, using custom rules it is possible to identify PIIs and other sensitive information. Blindata helps organizations to comply with various data privacy regulations, such as GDPR, as well as industry specific laws, like Solvency II, PCI DSS and HIPAA. By identifying sensitive data and applying appropriate security controls, organizations can ensure that they are following regulations and avoid potential fines and legal penalties.
