Latin America. According to Javier Díaz, VP for the Americas of the A3SEC Group, with the creation and management of DataLakes companies will grow up to 317% due to the exploitation of large amounts of data supported by better decision making and the development of more competitive companies.
In order to overcome the challenges of administration and management of large amounts of information in organizations, today there is the implementation of what is called DataLakes. They are repositories of large amounts of data that help companies generate additional value in the exploitation and organization of all this information.
In 2020 it is expected that there will be 40 Zettabytes of information, that is, each inhabitant of the planet will contribute 5,247 GB of information. This data will be generated by what we call IoAT (The Internet of All Things): sensors, smart cities, etc., through mobile equipment and interactions with the Internet of people and in organizations.
However, we face several problems today: more than 80% of the information is not used for decision-making, it is what we call "blind spot". The cost of storing information in Data Warehouses, relational databases or SAN-type infrastructures are highly expensive and not very scalable. To grow by 20% the space in shelter, projects are carried out with a duration of 3 to 6 months, which impacts on strategic objectives such as Time to Market.
DataLakes architectures guarantee the organization to collect information from internal or external sources of data at rest, in motion or in data warehouses to be processed and exploited so that the organization is able to react and make decisions before things happen, which will achieve more competitive companies, and above all, organizations with more capacity to react to the vertiginous changes that the Information Technology sector is experiencing and, in general, our society.
Today's large IT companies such as Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and Netflix have developed the technologies to collect, safeguard, process and exploit your data. These technological tools have been evolving and have been taken to other sectors showing great benefits. One of them is the growth of up to 317% of the companies that support their business in the exploitation of large amounts of data in DataLake architectures.
All that universe of data called Big Data will be the differentiating variable of success, since all decision-making processes are supported by as much information as possible; that will give a competitive advantage to organizations that have the ability to analyze and understand the greatest amount of information. Cost savings in DataLakes vs Data Warehouses architectures is 15% of what organizations currently invest.
