Say Goodbye to Data Chaos: Indicium's Unity Catalog Solution for Databricks

Data is messy. Governance? Even messier. Big companies struggle with scattered metadata, compliance risks, and outdated systems that slow everything down. Legacy metastores like Hive? They weren’t built for today’s scale.

Enter Indicium. Their latest solution, Unity Catalog Migration, helps businesses streamline governance, simplify compliance, and modernize data management—all within Databricks Unity Catalog.

Why This Matters

Databricks is moving fast. They’re betting big on Unity Catalog as the future of data governance. That means if you’re stuck on older systems, you’re missing out—Python UDFs, Delta Sharing updates, automated lineage tracking, and more. Your data infrastructure? Falling behind.

Indicium saw this coming. So, they built a migration solution that does the heavy lifting. Using AI-driven tools, Databricks CLI, REST APIs, and Delta Sharing, their process makes switching easy.

What’s Inside?

  • Centralized Access Control – One platform. One policy. Full security across workspaces.

  • Industry-Standard Security – Uses ANSI SQL for permissions. No weird syntax. No headaches.

  • Automated Audits & Lineage – Every action is tracked and logged. Compliance just got easier.

  • Faster Migration – Cuts manual work by 50% using the UCX Tool. No long downtime.

  • Scalable & Multi-Cloud Ready – Supports cross-workspace sharing, multi-cloud, and future growth.

  • Better Data Discovery – Tagging, documentation, search tools. Find what you need. Fast.

  • Simplified System Tables – Easy access to audit logs, billing, and lineage. No more digging around.

Who’s It For?

Tech leaders, engineers, data architects, compliance teams, analysts, and product managers—basically, anyone who cares about data governance, smooth collaboration, and scalable platforms.

Want to move fast with advanced analytics? Need better compliance? Trying to build a future-proof data ecosystem? This is for you.

Real Results, No Vendor Lock-In

“This is the solution for companies serious about centralized governance and future-proofing their platforms,” says Daniel Avancini, Chief Data Officer at Indicium.

He’s not just talking. The numbers speak for themselves:


1) 30% improvement in governance efficiency.
2) Better data accuracy than legacy metastores.
3) Full customer ownership. No vendor lock-in.

Flexible, Scalable, and Ready to Go

Indicium doesn’t do one-size-fits-all. They offer free pre-sales assessments, live demos, fixed-scope pilots, and full-scale implementations. Pricing? Custom-fit to each project—and Databricks partnerships can help fund it.

Cloud-Native Migration Is Disrupting Legacy Big Data—Here’s How

Big data is evolving. Fast. And Venkata Raghavendra Vutti, a researcher at a top U.S. university, is leading the charge. His latest study? A deep dive into modernizing legacy big data systems with cloud-native architectures.

The results? Big improvements. Faster systems. Lower costs. Better efficiency. His research lays out a clear roadmap for companies looking to ditch outdated infrastructures and embrace the cloud.

Data's Wild Growth & the Need for Change

The digital world isn’t slowing down. Companies handling big data see their volumes explode by 63% every year. The old ways? Cracking under the pressure.

Over the years, data systems have evolved in three major phases:

  1. Basic storage solutions in the early 2000s.

  2. More complex architectures with distributed processing.

  3. Today's cloud-native platforms, powered by serverless computing and containers.

Now, businesses face a choice: keep struggling with legacy systems or upgrade to stay competitive.

Why Legacy Systems Are a Money Pit

Let’s talk numbers. Outdated data systems eat up 80% of IT budgets. And for what? Diminishing returns.

Meanwhile, companies that migrate to cloud-native save 30-45% on costs. They also see:
35% lower maintenance overhead.
50% boost in developer productivity.

The takeaway? Holding onto legacy tech is holding businesses back.

The Architecture Revolution

Cloud-native isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a massive leap forward. The research shows:
2,900% increase in mean time between failures.
67% drop in deployment times.
285% increase in deployment frequency—companies can now push updates 24x faster.

This isn’t an upgrade. It’s an overhaul.

High Availability: No More Downtime Disasters

Ever had hours of downtime ruin everything? Multi-Availability Zone (Multi-AZ) setups fix that.

The research proves Multi-AZ deployments achieve 99.999% availability—way better than the 99.9% from single-zone setups.

What’s the impact?


Downtime drops from 8.76 hours per year to just 5.26 minutes.
🔥 Disaster recovery goes from 4 hours to under 15 minutes.

Performance Upgrades That Change the Game

Data replication has reached insane reliability levels99.99999% durability.
Latency under 10 milliseconds.
91% better resource utilization with containers.
76% reduction in operational overhead.

And serverless? Even crazier. It can handle from 100 to 100,000 requests per second with response times under 100 milliseconds.

That’s speed, scalability, and efficiency, all in one package.

The Future: AI, Multi-Cloud, and Quantum Computing

Vutti’s research doesn’t just look at today—it predicts what’s next:
🚀 Cloud federation use will jump 287% by 2025.
🤖 AI and ML will take up 67% of cloud workloads.
📡 Edge computing? Growing at 43% CAGR.
🧠 Quantum computing? Expect it in 23% of major cloud platforms by 2026.

The message? Cloud-native is the future. And companies that don’t modernize will be left behind.
