A revolution is occurring in data management regarding how data is collected, stored, processed, governed, managed, and provided to decision makers. The data lake is a popular approach that harnesses the power of big data and marries it with the agility of self-service. With this report, IT executives and data architects will focus on the technical aspects of building a data lake for your organization.
