HOW ORGANIZATIONS LIKE YOURS CAN LEVERAGE DATA LAKES AND ANALYTICS TO CREATE GREATER BUSINESS IMPACT
Organizations are tasked with managing multiple data types from many varied sources. Faced with massive volumes and heterogeneous types of data, organizations are finding that to deliver insights in a timely manner, they need a data storage and analytics solution that offers more agility and flexibility than traditional data management systems.

Modern Data Lakes represent an increasingly popular approach to store and analyze data (both structured and unstructured), via a central repository, that addresses the need to delivery insights in a timely manner with both agility and flexibility. Since data can be stored as-is, there is no need to convert it to a predefined schema and you no longer need to know what questions you want to ask of your data beforehand .
WHY BUILD A DATA LAKE ON AWS? |
![]() |
AWS provides a highly scalable, flexible, secure, and cost-effective platform for your organization to build a Data Lake – a data repository for both structured and unstructured data. With a Data Lake on AWS, your organization no longer needs to worry about structuring or transforming data before storing it. You can analyze data on-demand without knowing what questions you’re going to ask upfront.
BENEFITS OF A DATA LAKE ON AWS
Security and Compliance
Easily encrypt all of the data in your AWS-based Data Lake. Achieve PCI DSS, HIPAA, and other regulatory compliance standards with AWS.

Most Complete Platform
Leverage all of the benefits of AWS including agility, security, flexibility, and a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Take advantage of AWS’s broad and deep set of big data services to drive new insights.

Flexibility
Store all your data, regardless of volume or format, using Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). Easily ingest data in a variety of ways, including leveraging Amazon Kinesis, AWS Snowball, AWS Direct Connect, and more.

MOVE. STORE. REPORT.
Operational and transactional systems grow in any large enterprise and form the silos of information that are hard to report on. Building a Data Warehouse enables separation of reporting from transactional data stores, organizes the data suitable for query and allows slicing/dicing. Data from disparate sources is brought together via Extract Transform Load (ETL) and ingestion through Map Reduce (Hadoop) tool-set into the warehouse. Business Intelligence (BI) front-end tools enable the consumers of data query the data.
OTHER DATA WAREHOUSE TECHNOLOGIES WE USE















THREE PILLARS OF DATA WAREHOUSING

VOLUME
The analysis of outcomes begins in part with analyzing the volume of expected data from each data source and its projected growth over time. Terabytes are very common.

VELOCITY
The rate at which data is being generated determines the rate at which the consumption and ingestion of data must scale to.

VARIETY
Variation in terms of values, cases and business rules also is crucial for understanding and ingesting the data into the data warehouse to allow the business to succeed with the best results and business impact.
