Data lake solutions
Power your applications, analytics, and AI with any data in an open cloud data lake
Power your applications, analytics, and AI with any data in an open cloud data lake
A data lakehouse is an evolution in analytic data repositories that supports acquisition to refinement, delivery, and storage with open data and open table formats. This can help you drive new insights, better predictions, and improved optimization. Unlike traditional data warehouses, data lakes can process video, audio, logs, texts, social media, sensor data and documents to power apps, analytics, and AI.
A data lakehouse is an evolution in analytic data repository that supports acquisition to refinement, delivery, and storage with open table and format. IBM enables you to get more from your existing investment in data warehouses and data lakes, and supports the building of data lakehouses to a larger variety of data for increased flexibility. Data lakes can be built as part of a data fabric architecture to provide the right data, at the right time, regardless of where it is resides.

IBM takes a cloud-based, open approach to our data lake solution, building on these principles:
Secure data sharing is crucial when multiple teams access enterprise data. You can rely on a data lake governance that houses raw structured and unstructured data — trusted, secured, and governed — with automated privacy and security anywhere.
Data integration tools that combine data from disparate sources into valuable data sets. Tools such as ETL, data replication, and data virtualization can extract large volumes of data from source systems and load it to a data warehouse or cloud source.
Traditional integrations struggle to connect app to object stores. Data is often moved from the data lake to a costly data warehouse, but with the data virtualization of Watson Query, you can query data directly in the data lake without duplication or movement.
ING’s centralized governed data lake seemed to serve its organizational and regulatory needs — but their Chief AI Architect wanted more out of this business-critical environment. The amount of manual work, the number of subject matter experts, and the associated maintenance costs became inhibitors to getting more data into the data lake.
Cloudera and IBM work together to help you build a data lake for analytics and AI. You can collect, store, govern and secure raw data from across your business anywhere on premises or on any cloud. Cloudera Data Platform is available through a one-stop shop at IBM to help you simplify licensing, procurement, support and deployment.
