What is a Lakehouse?

At its core, a lakehouse is how your data is stored and managed. It’s a modern data storage architecture that combines the best features of data lakes and data warehouses. Within Nekt, your lakehouse is brought to life through the Catalog, where you can explore and interact with your data seamlessly.

A lakehouse provides the scalability and cost-efficiency of a data lake, allowing you to store vast amounts of raw data, while also delivering the structured data management and analytical power of a data warehouse. This unified approach enables organizations to handle diverse workloads—whether it’s storing, processing, or analyzing data—without the need for multiple systems.


Why choose a Lakehouse?

The lakehouse model overcomes the traditional limitations of separate data lakes and warehouses, offering a unified solution that supports a wide range of data operations. Key benefits include:

  • Scalability
    Easily handle petabytes of data, supporting both current and future data needs.

  • Flexibility
    Work with structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data in one place, ensuring a versatile data strategy.

  • Performance
    Accelerate queries and data processing for faster insights, enabling real-time decision-making.

  • Cost-Effectiveness
    Optimize storage and compute resources, reducing operational expenses while maximizing efficiency.

  • Governance and Security
    Ensure data integrity, compliance, and robust governance with built-in security mechanisms.


How a Lakehouse empowers your data strategy

Adopting a lakehouse architecture fosters a more cohesive and collaborative data environment by breaking down silos. This approach supports agile practices, enhances innovation, and unlocks opportunities for better data utilization across your organization.

From improving customer experiences to driving strategic growth, a lakehouse provides the foundation for a future-proof, data-driven strategy.
