Data Lake Intelligence with AtScale

In my recent Data Lake 2.0 article I described how the worlds of big data and cloud are coming together to reshape the concept of the data lake. The data lake is an important element of any modern data architecture, and the data lake footprint will continue to expand. However, the data lake investment is only one part of delivering a modern data architecture. At Yahoo!, in addition to building a Hadoop-based data lake, we also needed to solve the problem of connecting traditional business intelligence workloads to this Hadoop data. Although the term “Data Lake” didn’t exist back then, we were solving the problem of: “How can you deliver an interactive BI experience on top of a scale-out Data Lake” - it turns out we were pioneers in delivering Data Lake Intelligence.

This last category is often the most tragic for organizations.  Luckily, we now have helpful resources from Tom Davenport's latest webinar on Data Strategy to key research data points on chief data executive's priorities.
