Data Lake
From Clinfowiki
A data lake is a central repository that allows the storage and flow of structured and unstructured data sources. This concept is akin to a lake with multiple streams or sources to fill up a reservoir and store data as is, before it is allowed to flow out to various applications within an organization.
