Top Data Management News for the Week Ending February 28, 2025
Acceldata Announces Agentic Data Management
It augments and replaces traditional data quality, and governance tools, data catalogs, with a unified AI-driven platform, transforming how enterprises manage and optimize data. By leveraging AI agents, contextual memory, and automated actions, Agentic DM ensures data is always reliable, governed, and AI-ready—without human intervention.

Ataccama Releases 2025 Data Trust Report
The Data Trust Report suggests that organizations must reframe their thinking to see compliance as the foundation for long-term business value and trust. The report found that 42 percent of organizations prioritize regulatory compliance, but only 26 percent focus on it within their data teams. This highlights blind spots with real-world consequences like regulatory fines and data breaches that can erode customer trust, financial stability, and competitiveness.
BigID Announces New BigID Next Offering
With a modular, AI-assisted architecture, BigID Next empowers organizations to take control of their most valuable asset—data—while adapting to the fast-evolving risk and compliance landscape in the age of AI.

Google Adds Inline Filtering to AlloyDB Vector Search
Inline filtering helps ensure that these types of searches are fast, accurate, and efficient — automatically combining the best of vector indexes and traditional indexes on metadata columns to achieve better query performance.
GridGain Contributes to Latest Release of Apache Ignite 3.0
Apache Ignite has long been the trusted choice for developers at top companies, enabling them to achieve unmatched speed and scale through the power of distributed in-memory computing. These contributions reflect GridGain’s continued commitment to the open-source distributed database, caching, and computing platform.
Paige Roberts, Head of Technical Evangelism at GridGain, said: “Completely rearchitecting the core of Apache Ignite 3 to improve stability and reliability provides real-time response speed on a foundation that just works. GridGain 9.1 is built on that foundation, plus things from 9.0 like on-demand scaling and strong data consistency that were needed to better support AI workflows. Any data processing and analytics platform that isn’t aimed at supporting AI these days is already obsolete.”
Hydrolix Joins AWS ISV Accelerate Program
The AWS ISV Accelerate Program provides Hydrolix with co-sell support and benefits to meet customer needs through collaboration with AWS field sellers globally. Co-selling provides better customer outcomes and assures mutual commitment from AWS and its partners.
IBM Set to Acquire DataStax
IBM says the move will help enterprises “harness crucial enterprise data to maximize the value of generative AI at scale.”
William McKnight, President at McKnight Consulting Group, said: “DataStax has a very strong vector database. In our benchmark, we found Astra DB ingestion and indexing speeds up to 6x faster than Pinecone, with more consistent performance. It also showed faster search response times both during and after indexing. Furthermore, Astra DB exhibited better recall (accuracy) during active indexing and maintained low variance. Finally, DataStax Astra DB Serverless (Vector) had a significantly lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
IBM was supporting Milvus, but now they have their own vector capabilities.”
Robert Eve, Advisor at Robert Eve Consulting, said: “This seems like a win-win-win for DataStax customers, IBM customers, and both firms’ investors.
As we have seen many times in the database industry, specialized capabilities frequently find homes within broader offerings as market acceptance grows, installed bases overlap, and requirements for shared (common) development tools and operational functionality increase.
This is yet another example.”
MetaRouter Launches New Schema Enforcement Layer
Designed to address persistent challenges in data quality, consistency, and governance, this new tool ensures that data flowing through MetaRouter pipelines adheres to defined schema standards. MetaRouter’s Schema Enforcement tool tackles these challenges head-on by empowering data teams to define, assign, and enforce schemas, preventing bad data from ever reaching downstream systems.

NEW by Solutions Review Expert @ Insight Jam Thought Leader Nicola Askham – Do You Need a Data Strategy and a Data Governance Strategy?
With the increasing importance of data, many organizations are asking whether they need both a data strategy and a Data Governance strategy. I’ve been doing Data Governance for over twenty years now, and I’ll be honest – in the first fifteen years, no one even talked about a data strategy or a Data Governance strategy. But before we dive into the answer, let’s start by getting the basics straight.
NEW by Solutions Review Expert @ Insight Jam Thought Leader Dr. Irina Steenbeek – Key Takeaways from the Free Masterclass: Adapting Data Governance for Modern Data Architecture
I believe that data governance and data management follow a yin-yang duality. Data governance defines why an organization must formalize a data management framework and its feasible scope. Data management, in turn, designs and establishes the framework, while data governance controls its implementation.
