The Data Lakehouse Advantage

Anyone who has ever managed a large Data Warehouse knows there comes a tipping point - performance slows, and costs spiral out of control.


Traditional Data Lakes come with a different set of challenges: they lack the enterprise features needed for financial reporting and mission-critical decision-making, such as full data access audits, row-level security, and the AI capabilities modern businesses demand.

A Data Lakehouse bridges these two worlds. It combines the scalability and low-cost storage of a cloud data lake with the structure and governance of a data warehouse - giving you the best of both.
