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.

Summary

When your data lives in multiple locations, belonging to at least as many applications, it is exceedingly difficult to ask complex questions of it. The default way to manage this situation is by crafting pipelines that will extract the data from source systems and load it into a data lake or data warehouse. In order to make this situation more manageable and allow everyone in the business to gain value from the data the folks at Dremio built a self service data platform. In this episode Tomer Shiran, CEO and co-founder of Dremio, explains how it fits into the modern data landscape, how it works under the hood, and how you can start using it today to make your life easier.

BI teams often work extremely hard but have little to show for their effort, and they can never get ahead of a continuous backlog of requests. The business rewards their hard work by reducing their budget and staff. Even if they know what needs to be done, they have little authority to make it happen. To succeed, BI leaders need to partner with the business and deliver quick wins to turn the tide of adoption in their favor.

In this Episode, Wayne Eckerson asks Charles Reeves about his organization’s Internet of Things and Big Data strategy.

He has 25 years of professional experience in IT management including nine years in reporting, analytics, and data governance.

In mathematics, truth is universal.  In data, truth lies in the where clause of the query. As large organizations have grown to rely on their data more significantly for decision making, a common problem is not being able to agree on what the data is. As the volume and velocity of data grow, challenges emerge in answering questions with precision.  A simple question like "what was the revenue yesterday" could become mired in details.  Did your query account for transactions that haven't been finalized?  If I query again later, should I exclude orders that have been returned since the last query?  What time zone should I use?  The list goes on and on. In any large enough organization, you are also likely to find multiple copies if the same data.  Independent systems might record the same information with slight variance.  Sometimes systems will import data from other systems; a process which could become out of sync for several reasons. For any sufficiently large system, answering analytical questions with precision can become a non-trivial challenge.  The business intelligence community aspires to provide a "single source of truth" - one canonical place where data consumers can go to get precise, reliable, and trusted answers to their analytical questions.
