eradata is introducing Kylo, a
data lake management software
platform built using the latest
open source capabilities such as Apache
Hadoop, Apache Spark and Apache NiFi.
Kylo is a Teradata sponsored, open-
source project that is offered under the
Apache 2.0 license. Kylo evolved from
code harvested from proven data lake
engagements led by Think Big Analytics,
a Teradata company, which will provide
services and support for Kylo.
With substantive experience creating

business value from data lakes,
Teradata is contributing Kylo to
help organizations address the most
common challenges they face in data
lake implementation efforts. These
include the central problem that data
lakes simply take too long to build, and
in the average 6-12 month build cycle,
users find that use cases can become
out of date and less relevant to quickly
evolving businesses. Second, despite
the lower cost of software, engineering
costs quickly mount. Finally, a data lake,
once created, may fail to attract users
who find it difficult to explore, and so
little value is realized.
Derived and developed from data lake
deployments across industries, Kylo can
easily help resolve these challenges,
because it integrates and simplifies
pipeline development and common
data management tasks, resulting
in faster time to value, greater user
adoption and developer productivity.
With Kylo, no coding is required, and
its intuitive user interface for self-
service data ingest and wrangling helps
