According to a new press release, “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. Zaloni’s Ingestion Factory provides the automation and repeatable processes needed for ‘industrial strength,’ high-volume data ingestion, cutting the effort it takes to define initial ingestion processes by 75-90% and making subsequent ingestion of similar data types essentially real-time. The solution applies and manages metadata as data is ingested into the lake – versus a data dump that requires additional steps to figure out what’s in the lake after the fact.”

The release goes on, “The solution combines Zaloni’s technology and services; businesses work with Zaloni experts to develop the architecture to move beyond a proof-of-concept (POC) to a production-ready data lake, and leverage Zaloni’s Bedrock Data Lake Management and Governance Platform for the metadata management, governance, security and privacy capabilities required for an enterprise-grade data lake. ‘Data-driven enterprises already know this: It takes too long to implement most DataOps technologies,’ said Toph Whitmore, Blue Hill Research’s principal analyst for Big Data & Analytics. ‘Zaloni’s Ingestion Factory accelerates that too-often underestimated time from purchase to value recognition. It’s applied service model gets enterprise data operations up and running fast, and delivers the peace of mind that comes with a validated, best-practices approach to establishing a data lake’.”
