What is Big Data?

Big Data refers to particularly large volumes of data that are collected, stored, processed and analyzed from a wide variety of sources.

They are characterized by their size, complexity, fast-moving nature and weak structuring. Big Data plays a particularly important role in the context of Business Intelligence (BI). In analyzing collected data, BI makes use of systematic approaches and, in particular, new software solutions for evaluating large volumes of data and improving the speed of data processing. 

Date Warehouse vs. Data Lake – Platforms for storing Big Data

When it comes to storing Big Data, the terms Data Warehouse and Data Lake have established and are suitable in different ways depending on the requirements. 

 

Data Warehouse

Data Warehouse captures structured data in mostly tabular form that has been processed for a specific purpose.
The data model is therefore predefined, which results in less flexibility of new data sources, but at the same time data in a Data Warehouse is very robust and easy to maintain. One approach to modeling Data Warehouses is the Data Vault.

Data Lake

Data Lake, on the other hand, captures both structured and unstructured data whose purpose has not yet been defined.
Since the data model is not defined until it is read, this is a potential source of error. In contrast, Data Lakes are very flexible and scalable.

Data Warehouse or Data Lake?

Which platform suits you better?

Whether Big Data, Data Lake, or Data Warehouse – the focus is always on the collection and storage of company-wide, sometimes mission-critical data. Initially, the technology should not be in the foreground. Instead, the right architecture and (combination of) technologies are selected based on the business requirements and restrictions. 

Based on these individual requirements, we decide what is better suited for your project: 

Data Structure

Structured data can be stored and analyzed excellently in relational databases, whereas other technologies can show their advantage with unstructured data.

Power

Giga, tera or petabyte? Response times in seconds or minutes for dozens or thousands of users?

Stability

At the latest, when the analytic solution is used to support enterprise-wide decision-making, failure must be minimized, backup must be assured, and scalability must be ensured.

Costs

Make or buy, Cloud or on-premises, scalable or "small footprint" - every decision must also be evaluated in terms of cost.

Procedure for the implementation of Big Data, Date Warehouse and Date Lake

  • Determine requirements based on previous and future requirements.

    Either we determine the requirements together with you in the Data Warehouse / Big Data Workshops and design an architecture, or there is already a preexisting one? If necessary, we also carry out a modernization of your platform.

  • Development and implementation of a functional platform.

    Depending on the architecture on-premises / SaaS / IaaS we design the platform and implement it.

  • Modeling, construction and Data Integration

    After the technical provision, we move on to the business implementation: modeling of the data model, creation of the Data Integration processes, etc.

  • Ongoing support of the project

    Whether jointly developed in workshops, or specified; whether realization by you, us or third parties.
