When we talk about growth, we think of more employees, more branches, more cash flow, etc. Thanks to today\u2019s technology, we are able to record all of that information digitally and summarize it into more valuable data. Data gives us opportunities to have a better insight into the business, from demand and supply to business performance and customer relations. Data goes beyond record information nowadays. It also enables us to do correlation and forecast, facilitates short term planning and long term strategy making.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Rapid data growth shouldn&#8217;t be a problem<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Besides all the opportunities and excitement growth brings, managing fast-growing data starts to be challenging. Where and how to store data? Which part of data is useful information and which part is just eating storage resources? How could we extract value from data?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The awareness for data management is growing these years as we can see more data related positions in the market: data analyst, data engineer, and data scientist. On the one hand, data professionals extract value from data as business required. On the other hand, each step of data transformation, transition, process, and analysis means that more data are generated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We see this rapid growth leads to pressure for storage. If we think about storage as part of a business growth strategy, what would be the ideal situation?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">No bottleneck from storage. Business growth should never feel the limit of storage. Once the business starts to feel the limit, it normally means that business growth has to slow down to put extra energy somewhere else. Ideally, storage should be unlimited.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Centralized management. Data will be hard to manage if it is stored in different software and in different ways. Instead of using different software to handle different data stores and ingestion, it is better to use a single data storage solution that is compatible with various data types and ingestion.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Facilitate business process. We prefer to put books on a shelf instead of throwing them into a big box because a shelf gives us the possibility to organize books into different layers by category and easily to find later. A storage solution should also provide the possibility for businesses to organize data so that it is easy to retrieve useful information.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"block-fullwidth-dark\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/devoteam.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Cover-1-click-brochure-300x224.png\" alt=\"1-click data platform brochure cover\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-81528\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span>Tired of big investments and complex timelines when it comes to setting up a data platform?

It has two parts: Azure Data Lake Storage and Data Lake Analytics.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h4><b>Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The latest version of Azure Data Lake Storage is Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 (ADLS Gen2), which is further developed based on Azure Blob Storage and Azure Data Lake Storage Gen1. ADLS Gen2 has unlimited storage. It is more than a big hard drive providing you a worry-free storage solution. It also helps you to store strategically and be fully prepared for data ingestion and consumption.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Apart from Storage, Data Lake Analytics is another important part of Azure Data Lake. It is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), which provides on-demand analytics job service. You can focus on processing data itself without configuring the cluster in front. Development not only can be done on the Azure portal itself, it can also be done in Visual Studio that is widely used. You can query data by using U-SQL which is a new language but similar to T-SQL with the expressive feature of C#.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ADLS and DLA work very well with each other, but it does not mean you have to use both of them. Those are two separate components, which can be used individually in combination with other software. For example, ADLS Gen2 also works very well with Azure Synapse Analytics and Azure Databrick.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In my next blog, I\u2019ll explain why you should consider Azure Data Lake, and I will mainly focus on the benefits of Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"block-fullwidth-dark\">\n<p>Do you want to learn more about Azure Data Lake?
