For years, TDWI research has tracked the evolution of data warehouse architectures as well as the emergence of the data lake. The two have recently converged to form a new and richer data architecture.
Within this environment, data warehouses and data lakes can incorporate distinct but integrated, overlapping, and interoperable architectures that incorporate data storage, mixed workload management, data virtualization, content ETL, and data governance and protection.
This TDWI Best Practices Report examines the convergence of the data warehouse and data lake, including drivers, challenges, and opportunities for the unified DW/DL and best practices for moving forward.
In today’s fast-moving marketplace, real-time decisions are essential – and they have to be informed by data. That requires Active Intelligence, or the ability to take immediate action based on up-to-the-minute data.
Cloud data warehouses are at the heart of digital transformation because they require no hardware, are infinitely scalable, and you only pay data resources you consume. However, that’s not the whole story.
Azure Synapse, Amazon Redshift, Google Big Query and Snowflake all require real-time data integration and lifecycle automation to realize their full potential. Yet these two capabilities are not included, forcing you to hand-code ETL scripts to close the gaps. As a result, your developers are constrained and your data transfers are constricted, compromising your initial ROI.
In this whitepaper, Eckerson Group discusses how to get maximum value from data lakes and how Qlik’s Data Integration Platform helps businesses get the most value out of their data lakes quickly, accurately, and with the agility to respond to shifting business needs.
Now more than ever, data is moving to the cloud, where data warehousing has been modernized and reinvented. The result is an explosion in adoption. And for Snowflake users, Qlik offers an end-to-end data integration solution that delivers rapid time-to-insight.
To adapt – and succeed – in today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, enterprises have adopted new data architectures, including data lakes. But despite the investment, the insights still aren’t coming quickly enough – because traditional integration processes just can’t meet the demand.
For database managers and users, moving to the cloud means breaking through the confines imposed by capacity ceilings, speed limits, performance issues, and security concerns. At the same time, moving to the cloud does not mean outsourcing control or responsibility for data to an outside provider, and care must be taken to ensure migrations take place with as little disruption to the business as possible. In addition, organizations need to be prepared with the specific skills required to migrate to and manage databases in the cloud. Download this white paper for the questions you need to ask before undertaking a cloud migration.

Los data warehouses en la nube son un elemento fundamental de la transformación digital porque no requieren ningún tipo de hardware, son infinitamente escalables y solo se pagan los recursos de datos que se consumen. Sin embargo, eso no es todo, hay más, y la cosa se complica.
Azure Synapse, Amazon Redshift, Google Big Query y Snowflake, todos ellos, requieren integración de datos en tiempo real y automatización del ciclo de vida para alcanzar su máximo potencial. El problema es que estas dos capacidades no están incluidas, por lo que es necesario codificar a mano las secuencias de comandos de ETL para compensarlo. En consecuencia, los desarrolladores se ven limitados y las transferencias de datos, restringidas; lo que afecta negativamente a su retorno de inversión inicial.
Les data warehouses dans le cloud sont au cœur de la transformation digitale, car ils ne nécessitent aucun hardware, sont infiniment redimensionnables, et parce que vous payez uniquement pour les ressources de données que vous consommez. Mais ce n'est pas tout.
Les systèmes tels qu'Azure Synapse, Amazon Redshift, Google BigQuery et Snowflake exigent tous une intégration des données en temps réel et une automatisation du cycle de vie pour atteindre leur plein potentiel. Pour autant, ces deux fonctionnalités ne sont pas incluses dans ces systèmes, ce qui oblige à coder manuellement des scripts ETL pour y pallier. Par conséquent, vos développeurs sont soumis à des contraintes et vos transferts de données sont restreints, ce qui s'avère compromettant pour votre ROI initial.
Cloud Data Warehouses sind das Rückgrat der Digitalisierung, denn sie benötigen keine Hardware und sind unendlich skalierbar. Außerdem brauchen Sie nur für die Ressourcen zu zahlen, die Sie tatsächlich nutzen. Doch das ist nur die halbe Wahrheit.
Datenintegration und eine Automatisierung des gesamten Daten-Lebenszyklus, damit Sie ihre Stärken voll ausspielen können. Allerdings gehören diese beiden Möglichen bei keinem dieser Tool zum Funktionsumfang. Es bleibt Ihnen daher nichts Anderes übrig, als die Lücken mit selbstgeschriebenen ETL-Skripts zu schließen, was Ihre Entwickler und Datentransfers stark einschränkt und wodurch der anfänglich avisierte ROI in weite Ferne rückt.
