Building a Foundation for High-Performance Analytics
Azure Data Lake Storage provides a massively scalable and secure data lake for your high-performance analytics workloads. By eliminating data silos and offering a single storage platform, Azure Data Lake Storage helps you optimize costs with tiered storage and policy management. The platform allows you to authenticate data with Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) and role-based access control (RBAC). Moreover, data protection is enhanced through features like encryption at rest and advanced threat protection.
Limitless Scale and Unmatched Data Durability
With Azure Data Lake Storage, users can benefit from limitless scale and 16 9s of data durability, ensuring automatic geo-replication for added redundancy. The storage platform is highly secure, offering flexible mechanisms for data protection across different levels, including data access, encryption, and network control. This security-first approach ensures that your data is safeguarded at all times, allowing you to focus on deriving valuable insights.
Optimizing Costs and Security
Azure Data Lake Storage provides a single storage platform that supports intake, processing, and visualization, enabling seamless integration with common analytics frameworks. Users can optimize costs through independent scaling of storage and compute, lifecycle policy management, and object-level tiering. This cost-effective approach allows for efficient management of data at scale while ensuring comprehensive security and compliance through built-in security features.
Scalable Foundation for Analytics Workloads
Azure Data Lake Storage allows users to meet demanding analytics workloads by offering capacity requirements that can be seamlessly managed with Azure's global infrastructure. This ensures consistent high performance, enabling organizations to run large-scale analytics queries efficiently while maintaining data integrity and security. The platform's flexibility in security mechanisms further ensures that data lakes can be safeguarded with robust encryption, access controls, and network-level protection.
Comprehensive Security Measures and Compliance
Microsoft invests significantly in cybersecurity research and development, with over 3,500 dedicated security experts focused on data security and privacy. Azure Data Lake Storage encompasses comprehensive security measures and compliance regulations to ensure that your data is protected at all levels. From encryption to network control, Azure Data Lake Storage provides a secure environment for your data lakes, allowing you to leverage insights while maintaining compliance with industry standards.
