Zaloni announced the release of a new solution, Zaloni Data Lake in a Box, which provides a turnkey, cost-effective package to help more enterprises maximize value from their data – in weeks instead of months. Zaloni Data Lake in a Box helps enterprises overcome two major hurdles: breaking down data silos to enable business use cases with agility, and balancing the priorities of IT – governance, control, data management – with the priorities of line-of-business/end users, who want easy access, speed and flexibility.

Informatica®, a provider of data management solutions and recognized as a big data fabric leader by Forrester, announced Informatica Cloud Data Lake Management, a comprehensive solution for managing data lakes in either cloud or on-premise environments.

It is estimated that data preparation eats up as much as 80% of data analysts’ time, leaving less bandwidth for actual analytics and significantly reducing a data lake’s return on investment. To dramatically speed up data ingestion and data preparation in the data lake, Zaloni offers a new solution, Ingestion Factory, which can help enterprises successfully hydrate and organize a production-ready data lake in weeks.

With the latest release of its Bedrock Data Lake Management Platform and its Mica Self-service Data Platform, Zaloni continues to establish itself as a leader in the space by pushing the boundaries of what defines a “data lake,” expanding beyond Hadoop to encompass a more holistic, enterprise-wide approach.
