Presentation: Best Practices in Data Lake Deployment, Stephen Brobst, Teradata
|
|
|
Abstract:
The concept of “Data Lake” is becoming a widely adopted best practice in constructing an analytic ecosystem. When well executed, a data lake strategy will increase analytic agility for an organization and provide a foundation for provisioning data into both discovery and integrated data warehouse platforms. However, there are many pitfalls with this approach that can be avoided with best practices deployment. This workshop will provide guidance on how to deploy toward the “data reservoir” concept rather than ending up with an all too common “data swamp”.
- Learn best practices pertaining to data lake construction and deployment.
- Learn why Hadoop is an important technology for data lake deployment.
- Learn how to leverage a data lake as part of an overall analytic ecosystem strategy
