Data fabric is an end-to-end data integration solution, providing:
Data fabric architecture optimizes access to distributed data and makes it possible to integrate its core management capabilities. The point is to connect the right data to the right people. Such a system doesn't depend on the environment, use, and geolocation. Data is accessible just in time and regardless of where it's stored.
Within inbuilt analytics reading metadata, data fabric learns what data is being used. As a result, it can make recommendations for more, and better solutions to deliver business-ready data for analytics and AI.
- enhanced data management
- automation of data discovery, governance, and consumption
- transparency of analytics process
- metadata analytics to determine current data utilization patterns
- unified, consistent UX

2. CYBERSECURITY MESH
The distribution of digital business assets across the cloud and data centers is still trending and is not going to subside soon. According to Gartner, by 2024, businesses adopting a cybersecurity mesh architecture will reduce the financial impact of individual security incidents by an average of 90%.
Composable security approach shifts 'traditional' fragmented systems, focused on enterprise perimeters. Cybersecurity mesh architecture enables the creation of scalable and interoperable services, avoiding vulnerabilities and data breaches.
Its integrated structure secures all assets, regardless of geolocation. With a cybersecurity mesh method, you can combine multiple data feeds from different security products to work as a cooperative ecosystem and identify and respond to incidents in the best possible way.

- Composability and interoperability as a priority while choosing security solutions
- A common base framework to compose security solutions and integrate different tools
3. AUTONOMIC SYSTEMS
As your business grows, traditional manual management often can't scale at the same speed. In many cases, an autonomic systems approach is the best way to avoid delays.
Autonomic systems are self-managing physical/software systems that learn from their own environments. Such an approach provides plenty pros for businesses:

4. PRIVACY-ENHANCING COMPUTATION
As already mentioned, data is one of the most valuable assets businesses can produce – and keep safe. And that is where privacy-enhancing computation comes into play.
Privacy-enhancing computation (PEC) approaches create value but preserve privacy. It's firstly about:
Privacy-enhancing computation (PEC) approaches create value but preserve privacy. It's firstly about:
- encrypting
- splitting/preprocessing sensitive data
- confidentiality
- sharing data across ecosystems
Companies can combine several techniques to make up the privacy-enhancing computation, such as:
5. CLOUD-NATIVE PLATFORMS
By 2025, cloud-native platform usage will increase by 40% in comparison with 2021. And there are a number of reasons for that.
The lift-and-shift cloud migration approach requires a complex process of moving legacy workloads to the cloud. And given that they weren't designed for the cloud, their maintenance becomes time-consuming and not exactly the most efficient operation. What is more, such an approach doesn't take full advantage of cloud attributes.
At this time, cloud-native platforms benefit from cloud computing scalability and allow:

At this time, cloud-native platforms benefit from cloud computing scalability and allow:
- delivering faster time to value
- reducing dependencies on infrastructure
- freeing up time to focus on functionality
If you look at history, innovation doesn't come just from giving people incentives; it comes from creating environments where their ideas can connect.

6. COMPOSABLE APPLICATIONS
According to Gartner, by 2024, the design motto for new SaaS and custom apps will be “composable API-first or API-only," rendering traditional SaaS and custom apps as “legacy."
Composable apps consist of packaged-business capabilities (PBCs) or software-defined business objects. The idea behind the composable app is that these functional blocks can be dissociated from the complete application or process. It's firstly about moving away from single, complex apps to modular business units that can be composed into workflows for particular business cases and integrated across an organization's tech stack.

8. DISTRIBUTED ENTERPRISE
Distributed enterprise approach arose from two different areas. On the one hand, remote employees needed specific toolkits and increased flexibility. On the other hand, consumers increasingly are unavailable via traditional 'physical avenues.'
So the story of distributed enterprise began.
It's a “virtual first, remote first" architectural principle designed to

10. TOTAL EXPERIENCE
Technology determines the future of industries and helps businesses to grow their presence. New tech trends continue to redefine the customer journey map.
And creating superior shared experiences is one of the trending tech tasks for today.
So-called total experience (TX) interlinks 4 digital areas: user/customer/employee/multi experience (UX, CX, EX, MX). This 'omni experience' is intended to interconnect and enhance each of these subparts, find common touchpoints and combine their features in a universal way for a more holistic experience for all stakeholders.
