What is a data warehouse?

It combines historical data with real-time streaming data from multiple sources. utilising data warehousing solutions can help you build and maintain an effective data infrastructure.

How does a data warehouse differ from a data lake?

Data warehouse

Consists of a data repository for structured and filtered data stored with a definite purpose.
Data stored within a data warehouse is more complex and costly to change or update.
Data is processed and can be used by business professionals.

Data lake

This is a huge pool of unstructured data, the purpose (use case) of which is undetermined.
Data stored in data lakes is highly accessible.
Data is raw so it requires specialist tools and data scientists to make it usable.

Why should I move to a cloud data warehouse solution?

A cloud data warehouse offers numerous business benefits. It is more cost-effective than maintaining on-premise infrastructure and provides enhanced cloud data security with built-in capabilities that are often more secure than on-premise solutions. Leading cloud platforms like GCP, AWS, and Azure deliver high service reliability.
