Taking a new approach with a data lakehouse

Data lakes promised a cost-effective, scalable storage solution but lacked critical features around data reliability, governance, and performance. And legacy lakes required data to be landed in their proprietary systems before you could extract value.

Enter the open data lakehouse.

Anatomy of an open data lakehouse

The open data lakehouse is a cost-effective, performant, and future data architecture that is built on an open foundation:

  • A single point of access and governance for all data in and around the data lake
  • Modern table formats provide advanced warehouse-like capabilities directly on the lake
  • Built on commodity storage and compute, which means you can scale up and down in a cost effective way

Comparing a Data Lake vs. Data Lakehouse

The open data lakehouse overcomes the limitations of legacy lakes, because it’s built with the understanding that center of gravity does not mean a single source of truth. It works with your other data sources in an open, scalable manner – creating a single, open system to access and govern the data in and around your lake.
