Data in Motion Resources

Data-in-motion (DiM) refers to all real-time data that is continuously streamed into the enterprise from various data sources such as log streams, social streams, telemetry data, IoT devices, sensor data, and so on. Unlike traditional data-at-rest found in various data stores within the enterprise, data-in-motion carries the unique attribute of “data freshness” that is extremely valuable to any enterprise.
