Benefits
Develop, Debug, and Optimize
Microsoft Data Lake can be utilized to design, tune, run, and debug big data queries through integration with Visual Studio, Eclipse, and IntelliJ. Data engineers and architects can use existing skills, such as SQL, Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, R, Python, Java, and .NET, to optimize productivity from the start.
Cost-Efficient
Data Lake is affordable as you can choose between ‘on-demand clusters’ or a ‘pay-per-job model.’ The system will automatically scale up or down with your business needs, meaning you only pay for what you use. This service minimizes cost while maximizing the return on your data investment.
Seamless Integration
It seamlessly integrates with existing IT investments such as Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse Analytics, Power BI, and much more.
Simplification of Data
Azure Data Lake simplifies big data analytics by supporting languages and tools such as Python, R, Java, Apache Spark, and many more.
High-Grade Security and Auditing
Data Lake is fully managed and supported by Microsoft, which means an enterprise-grade SLA and support for it. It will protect your data assets and extend your on-premises security to the cloud. Additionally, you can meet security and regulatory requirements by auditing every access or configuration modification to the system.
Store and Analyze Large Data
Your Azure Data Lake can store trillions of petabyte-sized files in a single place without constraints. There is no need to rewrite codes or worry about big data in the cloud. This service meets current and future business needs and lets you focus on your business logic.
