Avoid a data swamp
New technologies have reduced the cost of storing massive volumes of data. While many organizations have embraced the “data lake” concept, the reasons for storing massive volumes of data are often unjustified and seldom clear.
All too often, the data stored is unfit for purpose, lacking standardization or duplicated. Sound familiar?
A data lake can easily turn into a data swamp that has significant overheads but serves little purpose.
Get your data fit
Imagine a platform that offers a practical way to stream, analyze and archive data to bring order to chaos. In an ideal world, your organization would ingest data, analyze it in real-time, and store only what it needs to support the business.
With cloud and artificial intelligence, this is now possible. Data can be “strip-mined” to determine which data sets are of intrinsic importance and need to be stored. It’s likely that you need only a fraction of the data you currently store.
