What Is an AI Data Lake? Benefits, Use Cases, and Best Practices
Today companies have more data than ever. Data from applications, sensors, users, transactions and third-party systems. Traditional databases and warehouses can’t keep up with the volume, velocity and variety. AI data lakes are the answer. They allow you to store, manage and analyze large volumes of structured and unstructured data in one place. An AI data lake is a big storage repository that supports AI and machine learning workloads. It lets raw data in, organized and accessed by analytics. Unlike traditional data warehouses that require schema definition up front, data lakes store data as is. This means data scientists and AI models can access more inputs, experiment fast and find patterns that traditional systems miss.
