The Data Warehouse Lives On

New Memes, Old Themes

Finally, we can move beyond the ancient conflict between data warehouse and data lake! It’s no longer one vs. the other but, rather, how these two concepts can now work together as a modern data warehouse… for the benefit of both business and IT. This whitepaper shows how.

In this paper, we will cover:

• What the two terms—data warehouse and data lake—mean and what their common usage is
• A simple architectural model showing how the two are related to and complement one another in today’s data-rich environment
• Ten areas where the appropriate combination and placement of functionality and data across the two environments optimally supports multiple business and technical needs
• How Cloudera Data Warehouse subsumes both traditional data warehousing and the data lake, to provide a new hybrid on-premises and multi-cloud solution for modern digital business
