Book Description

Data is changing everything. Many industries today are being fundamentally transformed through the accumulation and analysis of large quantities of data, stored in diversified but flexible repositories known as data lakes. Whether your company has just begun to think about big data or has already initiated a strategy for handling it, this practical ebook shows you how to plan a successful data lake migration.

You’ll learn the value of data lakes, their structure, and the problems they attempt to solve. Using Zaloni’s data lake maturity model, you’ll then explore your organization’s readiness for putting a data lake into action. Do you have the tools and data architectures to support big data analysis? Are your people and processes prepared? The data lake maturity model will help you rate your organization’s readiness.

This report includes:

  • The structure and purpose of a data lake
  • Descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics
  • Data lake curation, self-service, and the use of data lake zones
  • How to rate your organization using the data lake maturity model
  • A complete checklist to help you determine your strategic path forward
