From database to data lake: the right storage type for your data
Not all data is the same, and the same applies to data storage. A modern data platform brings together data from various sources and stores it in the appropriate storage type:
- Databases: the basis for your daily processes such as ERP, with operational data that does not remain in silos but is combined with other data.
- Data warehouses: store structured data and prepare it for analyses, reports, dashboards and advanced AI applications.
- Data lakes: suitable for large amounts of unstructured data, especially for archiving and rapid ad hoc analyses.
