Data Lake

With Amazon Web Services (AWS), a data lake isn’t a specific product or even set of products.  AWS offers an architecture pattern and guidance to define what a data lake should be and do.  Users can use pre existing AWS technologies to deliver data lake functionality.

As a result, there are numerous ways to approach a data lake project on AWS.While this gives users the freedom to configure a solution that closely matches their needs, it can be a real challenge for inexperienced team members who haven’t built a data lake on AWS before.With multiple ways to achieve it, building a data lake on AWS can seem deceptively simple. However, building a data lake that is functional, secure and easy to use isn’t so straight forward.Accessing expert assistance is, therefore, vital.

Having delivered data lake projects for blue chip clients, the DataPhoenix team has developed a highly successful framework and methodology for architecting and delivering data lake on AWS. Our approach combines our proven methodology with best-in-class tools that deliver essential functionality and orchestration capabilities. You can augment this with our other customised services, such as data or application cloud migration. This way, you gain a tailored solution that matches your needs precisely.

We begin with a detailed needs analysis, but will deliver an elastic deployment that can flex and scale in line with your future needs. You save money by getting it right the first time.  Plus, you future proof your investment by putting flexibility and agility at the heart of your solution. DataPhoenix team is an agile fanatic and we use a Scrum and DevOps methodology to deliver your data lake project. This framework enables us to maximise knowledge transfer and help you strengthen your internal team of DevOps and Data Engineers. Our focus is on bringing all the people needed into a single team that is driven to deliver business value.

The data lake we create is built with the concepts of security, continuous integration and continuous deployment at its heart. We’ll ensure you have automated processes for self-service provision with simulation and approval steps built in – protecting the integrity of your deployment long after we hand over the management of your data lake to your team.What’s more, you have peace of mind that your data lake has been built using a proven framework that has been tried and tested in large-scale production environments.

We’re not about delivering the latest and greatest just for the sake of it. We’re focused on delivering tailored deployments of cost-effective technologies. This is how we deliver a simpler and faster data lake to drive real business value through de-risking, improved collaboration and insights in a sustainable and easy-to-manage way.
