Data Cloud and Analytics
The Data Cloud allows organizations to unify and connect to a single copy of all of their data with ease.
The result is an ecosystem of thousands of businesses and organizations connecting to not only their own data, but also connecting to each other by effortlessly sharing and consuming shared data and data services.
The cloud will allow us to deliver data in ways that today are incredibly challenging to do.
The six building blocks include:

Software-defined data infrastructure
For any app at any scale, anywhere, that spans across on‐premise data centers, public clouds and edge locations.

Data and app mobility
Let businesses run apps anywhere with no infrastructure lock‐in.

Single management interface
Provides simplified global operation and control through automation and intelligence.

Elastic consumption
Allows businesses to quickly spin up/down resources on demand, removing overprovisioning and improving responsiveness.

Ability to run apps
Run on the same platform as the data, either from a third-party marketplace or developed on an open, API-first architecture.

Security
Protect the privacy and integrity of the data in the cloud.
