In this episode, Daniel Graham dissects the capabilities of data lakes and compares it to data warehouses. He talks about the primary use cases of data lakes and how they are vital for big data ecosystems. He then goes on to explain the role of data warehouses which are still responsible for timely and accurate data but don't have a central role anymore. In the end, both Wayne Eckerson and Dan Graham settle on a common definition for modern data architectures.

Daniel Graham has more than 30 years in IT, consulting, research, and product marketing, with almost 30 years at leading database management companies. Dan was a Strategy Director in IBM’s Global BI Solutions division and General Manager of Teradata’s high-end server divisions. During his tenure as a product marketer, Dan has been responsible for MPP data management systems, data warehouses, and data lakes, and most recently, the Internet of Things and streaming systems.
