The Forrester Wave: Multimodel Data Platforms

Segregating data based on data types and models often slows down data access and leads to data and administration challenges. Multimodel data platforms represent the intersection of multiple data models such as document, graph, and relational in a single data platform, offering speed, scale, performance, integration, and security over the polyglot persistence model. Combining multimodel data types and models on large-scale memory helps deliver real-time, consistent, and trusted data to support new business requirements. Most organizations leverage multimodel data platforms to support microservices-based applications and a common data platform for customer 360, fraud detection, internet-of-things (IoT) analytics, and highly interactive edge applications.

As a result of these trends, multimodel data platforms customers should look for providers that:

• A platform that delivers built-in speed, scale, and security to meet your requirements. 
• A platform that can support multimodel apps and insights quickly through automation.
• A roadmap that is as bold as your multimodel ambitions.
