A Deeper Insight into Microsoft Azure Purview

Are you searching for a unified data governance service that allows you to manage your multi-cloud, on-premises, and SaaS data? Then you’re in luck because you have Microsoft Azure Purview.

With Microsoft Azure Purview, users can create an up-to-date and holistic map of the data landscape through automated data discovery, end-to-end data lineage, and sensitive data classification.

How Does It Work?

Businesses have multiple data assets, such as tablets, files, ML models, and many other things where most of these reside on-premises, cloud, and SaaS environments. Azure Purview allows you to connect it all through ever-growing connectors.

Once all our data sources are connected, Purview scans through the data to extract a wide range of metadata, such as technical metadata, classification, lineage, etc. what sets Azure Purview apart is while it’s going through all your stored data, none of it is moved from its actual spot.

Even though the system scans through all the data you own, users only pay for the data they actually use, making it super cost-efficient. Once all the data is scanned, it’s gathered and stored in Azure Purview Data Map that helps describe all the data present on the system.

Once the data map is ready, every person in your organization who has access to it can make the most of it by searching and browsing for useful data. Moreover, your chief officers get end-to-end insights that allow them to monitor the data efficiently.

Advantages of Using Azure Purview

Discover Data Easily

Azure Purview addresses the main issue mentioned previously, helping businesses get maximum value from the existing information assets. With Azure Purview Catalog, users can discover data easily and understand who it’s managed by.

Register Data Sources

Since Azure Purview is a cloud-based service, users can register their data sources easily where the data itself remains in the existing location. Still, its copy is added to the Azure Purview with reference to the main location.

Enrich Metadata

Whether you’re the user who registered the data source or someone else, with Azure Purview, you can easily annotate the data source by adding tags, descriptions, or other metadata to request data source access.

Multiple Uses of the Data

Since the main aim of Azure Purview is to make the most use of the data generated, users can discover data and understand it. This allows businesses to use the data for things other than their primary need, such as business intelligence, data science, application development, and much more.

With a data catalog, they can quickly search for the data that matches their needs and evaluate how it fits their purpose of use.
