Description
A data lake is a centralized repository designed to store, process, and secure large amounts of data. Similar to a big storage pool that holds a vast amount of water, or in this case, data. It’s a place where you can pour in all kinds of data, whether it’s neatly organized or a bit messy, and keep it there until you need it. Data lakes allow for the storage of raw data in its original form and provide the flexibility to process and analyze this data for various analytic needs, such as big data processing, real-time analytics, and machine learning.
Availability
Data lakes are available to faculty and staff upon request and approval by the data owner.
