Secure Data Lake Storage with Amazon S3

OneData Software offers robust Secure Data Lake Storage solutions leveraging Amazon S3 as a foundational component in their AWS-based data ecosystem. Designed for enterprises that need to store large volumes of data—ranging from logs, clickstreams, IoT data, files, and database snapshots to unstructured data like images and documents—OneData ensures that this data lake not only scales but remains secure, governed, and accessible for downstream analytics, AI/ML, and reporting.

Key Aspects:

1. Scalable Storage Architecture a. Uses Amazon S3 to store both structured data (e.g. CSV, Parquet, ORC) and unstructured data (images, documents, logs) in cost-optimized storage tiers. b. Supports life-cycle policies and storage class transitions to balance cost and performance (e.g. infrequent access, glacier, etc.).

2. Security & Access Control a. Implements AWS IAM policies, roles, bucket policies, and AWS Key Management Service (KMS) for encryption of data at rest and in transit. b. Ensures secure network configurations (e.g. VPC endpoints, private access) to limit data exposure. c. Audit logging, monitoring via services like AWS CloudTrail, Amazon S3 access logs for traceability.

3. Data Governance & Compliance a. Enforces data cataloging, metadata management, and schema tracking so it’s clear what data exists, where, and how it should be used. b. Helps clients meet regulatory requirements (e.g. GDPR, HIPAA, SOC2) by implementing policies for retention, deletion, consent, data anonymization or masking where required.

4. Integration with Analytics & AI/ML a. The stored data is made available to tools like Amazon Athena (for serverless queries), AWS Glue (for ETL), Amazon SageMaker, Amazon Redshift, Amazon QuickSight, etc. b. Supports efficient schema designs (e.g. partitioning, using columnar formats) to optimize query performance and cost.

5. Cost Optimization & Lifecycle Management a. OneData works to set up lifecycle rules to move older/less used data to cheaper storage classes. b. Forecasts storage cost, balances performance vs cost trade-offs.

6. Operational Support & Best Practices a. Provides guidance on data lake architecture (best practices), secure setup, backup, disaster recovery, high durability of S3. b. Support for deploying monitoring, alerting, usage patterns, optimizing for performance and costs.
