Elastic (built on the Elasticsearch platform) acts as a high-performance data mesh speed layer for the UK public sector. By using cross-cluster search, it allows the likes of the MoD and NHS to query and analyse data where it resides, eliminating the need for costly, centralised data lakes.

This decentralised approach empowers agencies to treat data as a product, ensuring interoperability across different security classifications (Official to Secret) without compromising sovereignty. By breaking down technical silos, Elastic enables real-time insights for mission-critical decisions, enhancing citizen services and national security while reducing total cost of ownership through infrastructure optimisation.
