Data-centric computing
open-in-new
<p>Data-centric computing is an emerging concept that has relevance in <a href="/facts/Information_architecture/xhAHVzA7">information architecture</a> and <a href="/facts/Data_center/DS5wJY41">data center</a> design. It describes an information system where data is stored independently of the applications, which can be upgraded without costly and complicated data migration. This is a radical shift in information systems that will be needed to address organizational needs for storing, retrieving, moving and processing exponentially growing data sets. </p>
