Denodo has recently released an article discussing the essential components of a successful data lake strategy. The article recognizes the growing popularity of data lakes as storage solutions for enterprise data, while also acknowledging the challenges that come with effectively managing them.

To tackle these challenges head-on, Denodo has introduced new features in its latest release of the Denodo Platform. One notable addition is the embedded data lake SQL engine powered by Presto. This engine enables fast and reliable SQL queries on data lakes, making it easier to access and utilize data for analytics purposes.

The Denodo Platform also includes graphical user interface components that simplify the process of browsing and registering data lake files. Even users without specialized knowledge or skills can navigate the platform with ease. Furthermore, Denodo combines the data lake SQL engine with its well-established logical data fabric platform, offering a comprehensive solution that addresses the various limitations of data lakes. These include data discovery, collaboration, and integration with other enterprise data sources.

Security and governance are crucial considerations, and the Denodo Platform offers a range of security measures. These include user access control, data encryption, data masking, and auditing. By leveraging a logical data fabric, organizations can enforce standardized data security policies across their entire data estate, minimizing implementation efforts and operational risks.
