Today’s applications for machine learning and real-time predictive analytics require a robust set of capabilities from the underlying data platform. These must meet the growing needs of the modern enterprise to integrate and analyze a wide variety of data generated from social, mobile, and sensor sources, among others.
So the key is to evolve and implement a data platform according to the organizational needs of today and the future. It’s about finding the synergies across various data storage, management, and orchestration technologies and focusing on a needs-based and domain-driven architecture.
We present the list of speakers of the Data Lake Summit who will shine a light on the advantages of a modern data platform and the synergies of data lakes and data warehouses, as well as how data architectures must be evaluated and adapted to an organization’s environment and needs in order for it to reap the benefits of its data assets.
