Abstract: 

Data Lake Technology provides a powerful way to process, refine, and present huge volumes of diverse data. But this comes at a cost. As a Data Lake evolves, it grows in size and complexity. If not properly managed, a Data Lake can outgrow the abilities and resources of the team that manages it, negatively impacting the usefulness of an organization’s data and slowing or halting the team’s implementation of new analytics and applications. In this talk, Roger Dev showcases how the open source HPCC Systems platform has developed an open-source data curation and governance system called Tombolo to complement the powerful storage and compute capabilities of the HPCC Systems Data Lake operating system.

Session Outline:

Roger will demonstrate how the system enables you to:

1. Curate data – the ability to automatically identify and classify a data file
2. Govern sensitive data – automatically identify sensitive data files, apply any necessary usage restrictions to that data, and
3. Keep accurate records - of who, how, and when a user or application interacts with a sensitive data file
