This white paper describes IT components that comprise a data lake and provides examples of use cases for patient care delivery,
clinical research, population health management, and security analytics. The paper also includes EMC recommendations for how to
get started with a data lake, including deploying a technology infrastructure, establishing a data science practice, and enacting
proper data governance. Through professional services, Big Data workshops, and education, EMC can help healthcare providers gain
the technology, people skills, and processes to implement a data lake that aligns with their strategic goals and enable a business
value-driven roadmap.
