Data lake management solution helps stop companies drowning in big data

While businesses are keen to get the benefits of big data, analysts find it hard to harness information across the enterprise and find relationships between data sets.

This can result in labor-intensive manual processes and a pool of unmanageable data that soaks up more and more resources in the quest for something useful.

Data management solutions company Informatica is offering businesses a comprehensive, self-service approach that gives businesses cloud ready data lakes out-of-the-box. Informatica's Data Lake Management solution enables data analysts to easily find, prepare, govern and protect data of any size and velocity to more efficiently and confidently drive business value from Hadoop-based data lakes.

Features include an Enterprise Information Catalog enabling business users to quickly discover and understand all enterprise data using intelligent self-service tools powered by machine learning and AI. Intelligent streaming helps organizations more efficiently capture and process big data and real-time events to gain timely insight for business initiatives, such as IoT, marketing and fraud detection. These come together with other features for Hadoop processing, big data management and security in a single metadata driven interface.

"Ease of use and a delightful user experience along with robust governance and metadata capabilities are critical for getting business value out of data lakes. Without these capabilities, data lakes easily swallow up data analysts' time, creating excessive manual effort and delivering a diminishing return," says Amit Walia, executive vice president and chief product officer at Informatica. "Informatica Data Lake Management is the only comprehensive solution in the market for efficiently ingesting, finding, preparing, governing and protecting data in Hadoop-based data lakes. We are committed to delivering new innovations to enable more enterprises to get business value from data lakes, with newer out-of-the-box data lakes and additional big data management innovations to further accelerate the delivery of trusted, fit-for-purpose data to users across the enterprise".

Informatica's Data Lake Management will be available at the end of the year and will be demonstrated at Strata + Hadoop World in New York from September 27-29.
