Sponsored by: e6data, Inc. | Hybrid Lakehouses with Unity Governance, Local Execution and Egress Control

Data residency laws and legal mandates are driving the need for lakehouses across public and private clouds. This sprawl threatens centralized governance and compliance, while impacting cost, performance, and analytics/AI functionality. This session shows how e6data extends Unity Catalog across hybrid environments for consistent policy enforcement and query execution—regardless of data location—with guarantees around network egress, entitlements, performance, scalability, and cost. Learn how e6data’s “zero-data movement” philosophy powers a cost- and latency-optimized, location-aware architecture. We’ll cover onboarding strategies for hybrid fleets that enforce data movement restrictions and stay close to the data for better performance and lower cost. Discover how a location-aware compute strategy enables hybrid lakehouses with four key value metrics: cross-platform functionality, governed access, low latency, and total cost of ownership.
