"However, in the past 24 months, we have seen a significant increase in adoption in the healthcare, insurance, retail, manufacturing, eCommerce, and media/entertainment sectors. Regardless of industry, all firms can benefit from data virtualization, especially when integrating larger numbers of data sources, delivering real time data, and integrating with a wide range of data types."
