About ELCA Smart Data Lake Builder
Classical Data Lakes are often reduced to basic but cheap raw data storage, neglecting significant aspects like transformation, data quality and security. These topics are left to data scientists, who end up spending up to 80% of their time acquiring, understanding and cleaning data before they can start using their core competencies. In addition, classical Data Lakes are often implemented by separate departments using different standards and tools, which makes it harder to implement comprehensive analytical use cases. Smart Data Lakes solve these various issues by providing architectural and methodical guidelines, together with an efficient tool to build a strong high-quality data foundation. Smart Data Lakes are at the core of any modern analytics platform. Their structure easily integrates prevalent Data Science tools and open source technologies, as well as AI and ML. Their storage is cheap and scalable, supporting both unstructured data and complex data structures.

Lentiq
Lentiq is a collaborative data lake as a service environment that’s built to enable small teams to do big things. Quickly run data science, machine learning and data analysis at scale in the cloud of your choice. With Lentiq, your teams can ingest data in real time and then process, clean and share it. From there, Lentiq makes it possible to build, train and share models internally. Simply put, data teams can collaborate with Lentiq and innovate with no restrictions. Data lakes are storage and processing environments, which provide ML, ETL, schema-on-read querying capabilities and so much more. Are you working on some data science magic? You definitely need a data lake.
In the Post-Hadoop era, the big, centralized data lake is a thing of the past. With Lentiq, we use data pools, which are multi-cloud, interconnected mini-data lakes. They work together to give you a stable, secure and fast data science environment.

Delta Lake
Delta Lake is an open-source storage layer that brings ACID transactions to Apache Spark™ and big data workloads. Data lakes typically have multiple data pipelines reading and writing data concurrently, and data engineers have to go through a tedious process to ensure data integrity, due to the lack of transactions. Delta Lake brings ACID transactions to your data lakes. It provides serializability, the strongest level of isolation level. Learn more at Diving into Delta Lake: Unpacking the Transaction Log. In big data, even the metadata itself can be "big data". Delta Lake treats metadata just like data, leveraging Spark's distributed processing power to handle all its metadata. As a result, Delta Lake can handle petabyte-scale tables with billions of partitions and files at ease. Delta Lake provides snapshots of data enabling developers to access and revert to earlier versions of data for audits, rollbacks or to reproduce experiments.

Alibaba Cloud Data Lake Formation
A data lake is a centralized repository used for big data and AI computing. It allows you to store structured and unstructured data at any scale. Data Lake Formation (DLF) is a key component of the cloud-native data lake framework. DLF provides an easy way to build a cloud-native data lake. It seamlessly integrates with a variety of compute engines and allows you to manage the metadata in data lakes in a centralized manner and control enterprise-class permissions. Systematically collects structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data and supports massive data storage. Uses an architecture that separates computing from storage. You can plan resources on demand at low costs. This improves data processing efficiency to meet the rapidly changing business requirements. DLF can automatically discover and collect metadata from multiple engines and manage the metadata in a centralized manner to solve the data silo issues.
