Bring all your data together with a data lake

Complete, integrated solution

Deploy a complete, integrated solution, including data management, data integration, and data science, so analytics teams can maximize the value of enterprise data. Customers ingest any data via batch, streaming, or real-time processes and store it in data warehouses or data lakes as needed. Teams then catalog and apply governance to the data so they can use it for analyses, visualizations, and machine learning models. IT teams leverage consistent security policies across data warehouses and data lakes.

Easy to manage and operate

Increase developer productivity with a fully managed, serverless, Apache Spark cluster that is accessible via APIs. Each cluster is automatically provisioned, secured, and shut down to reduce developer workloads. Customers can deploy fully managed Hadoop clusters of any size or shape, then add security and high availability with a single click.
