Data Lake vs Data Warehouse

Bob Clark, Co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Miss Pepper AI, interviews Ken Scales, Founder and CEO of Scalesology, to discuss if Data lakes are replacing Data Warehouses.

What is a data lake?

A system designed as a central repository for all types of data both structured and unstructured.

What is a data warehouse?

A system designed to store structured data used for reporting and data analytics.

What to consider when choosing a data lake or data warehouse.

While both a data lake and a date warehouse store data and enable in-depth analytics, it is important to evaluate the type of data, the number of data users, size of the data and the business objectives. So, if you’re in the evaluation process, the Scalesology team invites you to reach out for a conversation. We can listen and recommend specific platforms and services depending on your needs and goals. We look forward to having a conversation with you.
