RapidsDB 2023 New Product Launch: Rapids Lakehouse

In recent years, digital transformation has been driving advancements across various industries, making enterprise analytics more intricate. Enterprises are struggling to manage mounting data volumes with escalating complexity. Although real-time data empowers companies to make quicker decisions based on the most up-to-date information, real-time data processing has become more and more challenging. With Multimodal data processing, the heavy workload demands efficient processing to avoid a data swamp, which can lead to increased operational complexity, maintenance difficulties, and high costs.

In Gartner’s Hyper Cycle for Data Management 2021 report, Lakehouse has been identified as an Innovation Trigger.  Gartner defines a data lakehouse as a “converged infrastructure environment that combines the semantic flexibility of a data lake with the production optimization and delivery of a data warehouse.” A lakehouse solution is designed to overcome challenges associated with traditional data warehousing and data lakes, such as data silos, data quality issues, and data latency. Gartner notes that the Lakehouse technology can provide an integrated platform for data storage and processing, enabling organizations to perform data analysis and generate insights more efficiently.

RapidsDB has launched Rapids Lakehouse, a unified data management platform that seamlessly integrates the best aspects of data lakes and data warehouses. This all-in-one solution empowers businesses to efficiently manage large-scale and diverse datasets while performing real-time analytics. By incorporating AI/ML technology, Rapids Lakehouse offers a more comprehensive and accurate view of data, enabling organizations to leverage real-time insights for a competitive edge to enhance their business capabilities and establish industry leadership.
