data lake

A data lake is a centralized repository you can use to store all your structured and unstructured [[data]] at any scale. You can store your data as-is, without having to first structure the data. You can also run different types of [[analytics]]—from [[dashboards]] and [[visualizations]] to[[ big data]]processing, real-time [[analytics]], and [[machine learning]] to better guide your decisions.

The ability to harness more data from more sources in less time, and empowering users to collaborate and analyze data in different ways can lead to better, faster decision making.
