What is a data lake? Flexible big data management explained
A data lake can be a much more flexible repository than a data warehouse. Or it can be a trash dump that grows and grows
Immutable storage is a way of storing data that cannot be changed. When data is stored in an immutable way, it prevents hackers from being able to change the data and steal it. It does this by altering the data so that it is unreadable. This means that the data can’t be tampered with or stolen, which is an excellent way to protect against cyberattacks.
Immutable storage will store data in blocks encoded using a unique cryptographic hash function. These complex algorithms transform data so that it is unreadable. Various techniques to protect your data have been built into the design of the storage systems we recommend.

More than ever, the ability to manage torrents of data is critical to a company’s success. But even with the emergence of data-management functions and chief data officers (CDOs), most companies remain badly behind the curve.
Data may be your most valuable resource. It’s certainly not an endangered one. It pours into organizations from every conceivable source – operational and transactional systems; scanners, sensors and smart meters; inbound and outbound customer contact points; mobile media and the Web.
