Unlocking Data, Accelerating Insights
The UCLA Data Lakehouse is a campus wide data repository designed to empower the UCLA community with seamless access to integrated, high-quality data for analytics and decision-making.
The UCLA Data Lakehouse is a modern data architecture that blends the benefits of a data lake and data warehouse into a single, unified platform. Like a data lake, it can store large volumes of raw and varied data from multiple sources, including structured, semi-structured and unstructured data sets. Like a data warehouse, it supports fast, reliable queries and analytics by organizing and optimizing structured data for performance and governance.
This hybrid approach allows UCLA to ingest and manage data at scale while making it readily accessible for reporting, dashboards, visualizations, machine learning and advance analytics. The result is a more agile, efficient and modern data environment that supports innovation, equity and data-informed decision-making across the institution.
UCLA Data Lakehouse - Modern Data Platform
The Data Lakehouse was built as a one-stop enterprise repository of university data that provides unique capabilities to combine information across domains. It is a foundational framework that applications, analytics platforms, and intelligent tools can use to access information in real-time. Its purpose is to serve as a shared analytics space that allows UCLA to shift from decentralized data siloes to managed and timely data sharing. It is an important component of our modern data platform as shown to the right.
