Data Fabric for Secure
Cross-Domain Data Sharing

ATA Connects Distributed Data Sources

Cloud-native, container-based technology provides organizations the means to tactically share their data securely utilizing their own authentication, authorization, and discovery services with other organizations within a trusted data environment enabling their users to query across distributed domain data from other organizations that have granted them access to support mission operations, collaboration, and situational awareness.

These capabilities are provided through ATA’s Switchboard common data fabric platform utilizing a plugin based architecture to connect various data source types, identity providers, data access policies, and data catalogs to a distributed cross data query engine with attribute based access control (ABAC) enforcement capabilities. This enables organizations to:

  • connect distributed data sources of various types
  • enforce to data access control policies
  • query across data sources
  • operate in a trusted manner
  • ease analytic tool integration
  • implement query performance monitoring
  • enable high degrees of scalability and availability
  • bridge technical gaps
  • enable lightweight deployment
  • instantiate service on-demand

By federating external authentication and data access policy management and synchronizing with data discovery services such as data catalogs utilizing standardized processes and protocols the platform accelerates organizations participation as data citizens through their own existing systems granting them full control to who can access or even discover their shared data.

With an extensible plugin design and existing library based on industry best of breed tools, techniques, and standards the platform can provide a trusted data environment to any data organizations who wish to collaborate regardless of the complexity of their hierarchy or level of technical maturity.

This solution can be used to form multiple data sharing groups for enterprise, strategic, or even tactical objectives. ATA’s common data fabric solution is architectured to be compatible with all major cloud providers or on-prem deployments, and is built on today’s leading open source technologies.
