Starschema Antares iDL

Gradient

Organizations that collect, process, and analyze large amounts of data often face two major constraints in meeting their business objectives. First, the data is often housed on-premises, and second, the data tends to be stored, processed, and analyzed in siloed databases. These challenges result in higher operational costs and poor performance. Forward-looking companies are harnessing the power of cloud-based data lakes to reduce costs, support digital transformation across the organization, democratize access to the data, make their teams more productive, and build competitive advantage from deeper and quicker insights.

Key features

Flexible, scalable architecture

The Antares iDL data lake reference architecture provides the flexibility to process both structured data coming from traditional SQL databases and semi-structured/unstructured data ingested from IoT devices, logs, and documents without a fixed format.

Security and compliance by design

The Starschema Antares iDL architecture, designed ‘compliance first’, can perform anonymization on the fly for the entire data set and uses strict identity and access management (IAM) that enables administrators to govern who has access to what data. A web-based interface allows data consumers to easily configure their anonymization requirements.

Tools-based optimization

Starschema leverages multiple, proprietary tools to better integrate and optimize data lake components ensuring faster processing of massive data sets.

Data Management

The Antares iDL design incorporates data catalog tools like Amazon Glue Catalog that dramatically reduces data discovery times through automating much of the effort in building, maintaining, and running ETL jobs.

Automation, DevOps and Application Lifecycle Management

Built for the enterprise, Starschema Antares iDL leverages DevOps best practices. With agile processes built-in, integrated CI/CD tools and a distributed Source Code Management (SCM) system storing configurations for all application building blocks, Starschema Antares iDL ensures consistency through efficient distributed metadata management and built-in developer tools that seamlessly integrate with existing ITSM/IDM systems.

Architecture

Architecture01 4x

Multi-speed layers

Speedlayers02 large 4x

Unlike data lake designs with a homogenous storage layer, the Antares iDL design supports a variety of use cases. Three data lake layers provide differentiated access speed/data velocity, for different purposes. This allows usage- and need-dependent resource utilization while delivering the required speed of access to all customers, creating a uniquely powerful tool for the democratization of data access within the enterprise.
