2021 Talk: Think Big: How To Build Enterprise Scalability into a Knowledge Graph Platform
In recently naming graph technology one of their top 10 trends data and analytic trends for 2021, the Gartner Group highlighted an emerging pattern: today an ever-increasing number of F1000 organizations are implementing graph technology not to address point graph use cases, but rather data integration and analytics use cases through enterprise-scale knowledge graph platforms. The data diversity, complexity and volume inherent within these initiatives places scalability and functional demands on the underlying knowledge graph technology- far beyond what has typically been required in the past. In this session, we will explore the specific challenges associated with deploying a knowledge graph at enterprise space with a special focus in six key areas:
- Data Source Diversity
- Performance and Efficiency
- Deployment Flexibility
- Interactive Querying
- Ease of Use
- Security
