Traditional Libraries (Traditional Data Management):Each department has its own library with its own cataloging system, rules, and security measures.
Finding a specific book might require visiting multiple libraries and dealing with different sets of rules.
Dataplex (Unified Data Management):A central library system manages all the books across various departmental libraries.
Unified Management: Regardless of where a book (data) is located, you can manage and access it from a single system.
Governance and Security: There is a consistent set of rules and security measures applied to all books, ensuring they are well-protected and accessible only to authorized individuals.
Discovery and Cataloging: The system automatically catalogs new books, making it easy to find them through a unified search interface.
Quality and Monitoring: The library system monitors the condition of books and provides alerts if any book needs maintenance or replacement.
Collaboration and Sharing: Students and faculty can easily share books and resources securely, with the library system tracking who has access to what.
