In a blog post, Microsoft details the release of Azure Purview, "a unified data governance solution that helps organizations achieve a complete understanding of their data regardless of if it's housed on-premises in services like SQL Server and Oracle, in different clouds like Amazon Web Services S3, or in SaaS applications like Salesforce." Azure Data Corporate Vice President Rohan Kumar said the technology allows for a unified map of an organization's "data assets and their relationships with automated data discovery and sensitive data classification ... insight into the location and movement of sensitive data across your hybrid landscape" as well as aid consumers to find "valuable data through a data catalog."
