First created to overcome the limitations of the traditional
data warehouse, data lakes oer the scalability, speed,
and cost eectiveness to help you manage large volumes
and multiple types of data across your various analytic
initiatives – AI, machine learning, streaming analytics, BI,
and more.
While early on-premise solutions like Hadoop paved the way for data lakes and created
their initial architectural framework, cloud platform providers and other cloud-native
innovators have further enhanced the possibilities. Today, with data lakes increasingly
migrating to the cloud, you can take advantage of new benefits – avoiding the high
upfront costs of setting up and maintaining a lake, and focusing on getting the most
value out of your data.
However, with a variety of cloud data lake providers, from traditional vendors to
newer data lakehouse oerings, selecting the right solution can be a challenge. This
eBook provides a better understanding of the core dierences between platforms,
so you can make the right decision for your needs.
Data lakes make their move to the cloud.
