Kent Graziano to present on the implementation of DV 2.0 under the radar at WWDVC 2024 using A Virtual Hybrid Solution

Thought Leader Kent Graziano to present how to use the Data Vault 2.0 in secret to your advantage via a hybrid virtual architecture

STOWE, VERMONT, UNITED STATES, April 22, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- At the forthcoming World Wide Data Vault Consortium (WWDVC) 2024, Kent Graziano will present a compelling session on the strategic implementation of Data Vault 2.0 under the radar.

Scheduled for May 2nd, from 8:00 to 8:55 AM in the Pinnacle Room, this session will reveal how a leading oncology network's data team discreetly developed and applied a hybrid virtualized solution that integrates Data Vault 2.0 concepts without the wider organization’s initial awareness. By using standard Hub and Link structures along with innovative Key Map tables, they created a robust framework that gave them a competitive edge in data management. This presentation will detail the architecture, process adjustments, and strategic benefits of deploying Data Vault 2.0 secretly, providing valuable insights for professionals looking to leverage similar advantages in their operations.

In this in-depth session, attendees will gain firsthand knowledge of how to navigate and implement hybrid virtual Data Vault architectures effectively.



“Dan Linstedt, the inventor of the Data Vault and DV 2.0 has already presented sessions on Advanced Virtual Data Vault and other Virtualization options within the Data Vault System of Analytics at prior WWDVC conferences. This is going to be an exciting event with Dan again talking about it in more detail and Kent’s session will add to this.”, said a DVA spokesperson.



Kent Graziano will discuss the challenges faced by the oncology network in adopting a pure Data Vault 2.0 model and the subsequent evolution to a hybrid approach that includes persistent stage tables and a unique Key Map table. This approach not only addresses the practical limitations of traditional methods but also enhances data integration and accessibility without requiring extensive changes to existing systems.
Participants will learn:

- The practical steps for implementing a hybrid virtual Data Vault, from the initial concept to operational execution.
- Techniques for using MD5 hash keys to simplify data handling and improve performance without relying on traditional joins.
- Strategies for resolving business keys later in the process to better align with business operations and data governance.
- Insights into managing and overcoming political and technical challenges that arise during secretive project implementations.

This session is designed to provide data architects, engineers, and managers with the tools and knowledge to leverage Data Vault concepts in ways that are both innovative and strategically advantageous, allowing for more flexible, scalable, and efficient data solutions.
