Here’s what we discussed:

Data warehousing architectures and pricing models over the decades have been designed to lock you into the vendor. Organizations have had to depend on their data warehousing vendors not just for storing their data, but have also paid enormous amounts of money to retrieve their own data!

An open lakehouse platform is built on open-source software and open standards and does not force your organization to be locked into one vendor or another!

We discussed, how an open lakehouse platform frees your data and your organization from proprietary data warehouse vendors by:
  • Treating data as an independent tier – free from any single vendor
  • Allowing you to keep your data in your inexpensive cloud storage, without the need to create unnecessary data copies
  • Meeting all your business analytic requirements without vendor lock-in

The open lakehouse platform – with the open data formats and open standards – increases flexibility to choose best-of-breed analytics technologies, tools and engines for your business needs, improves time-to-insights and simplifies data governance and security.

This is so powerful: NO single vendor controls or owns your data!

Here is what we learned:

  • The top two challenges he faces involve the quality of data and the aggregation of data.
  • His company has Snowflake as its data lake.
  • Data movement is a challenge because there are many different systems. His company uses ELT (extract, load, transform) not ETL (extract, transform, load).
  • His company has a large data warehouse and a lot of data governance, data cleansing processes and ETL processes in place, and they are working fine. The only problem is that the company handles a large amount of data received from sources outside the company and bringing that data in and processing it is not feasible because of hardware limitations and other issues. The company is exploring options to handle that, including Databricks, Glue and Data Fusion.
  • His company is looking to expand its data lake.
