Big data and data science promise to bring unprecedented levels of insight and efficiency to everything from working with data and working with customers to curing cancer.

To successfully deliver on this promise, traditional enterprises are building data lakes, which bridge the gap between enterprise data warehouses, where data is a precious commodity carefully tended to by professional IT personnel, and the freewheeling culture of modern Internet companies.

An enterprise data lake must provide three new capabilities: cost-effective scalable storage and computing; cost-effective data access and governance; and tiered, governed access, based on user needs, skill levels, and applicable data-governance policies.

Drawing on a 30-year career developing leading-edge data technology and working with some of the world’s largest enterprises on their thorniest data problems, Alex Gorelik, author of the forthcoming book The Enterprise Data Lake, discusses the considerations of and best practices for building data lakes, with examples taken from the world’s leading big data companies and enterprises.

Topics include:

• How to start and grow a data lake, including data warehouse offloading, analytical sandboxes, and “data puddles”
• Setting up different tiers of data—from raw, untreated landing areas to carefully managed and summarized data
• How to enable self-service to help users find, understand, and provision data and provide different interfaces to users with different skill levels
• Staying in compliance with enterprise data-governance policies
