We have PBs of data stored in Google Cloud, accessed by 1,000s of internal users daily. Dataplex enables us to deliver a business domain-specific, self-service data platform across distributed data, with decentralized data ownership but centralized governance and visibility. We are very excited to adopt Dataplex as a central component for building a unified data mesh across our analytics data.
