Data Services refer to the functions and capabilities provided by a system or network to manage, store, and process data and is a subset of the data management category.
While Data Services incorporate elements of file services, they go beyond file management to encompass a broader range of data-related functions, including:
<ul>
<li>Storage: Storing data in various formats and structures.</li>
<li>Processing: Performing operations on data, such as analysis, transformation, and integration.</li>
<li>Retrieval: Retrieving data based on complex queries and criteria.</li>
<li>Sharing: Sharing data with other applications or systems.</li>
<li>Governance: Ensuring data quality, consistency, and compliance.</li>
</ul>
