Data generally covers an overall strategy on how to ingest data, store data, process data, and retrieve data. In addition, data can be of various different types such as OLTP data, telemetry data, analytical data, in-memory data, and special purpose data such as documents, images and, waveforms. Robust data architecture should handle all of these scenarios. The diverse nature of the data stores is captured in the following diagram:
