Modern Cloud Lakehouse Architecture: One Platform for All Your Data
A scalable cloud lakehouse that unifies structured and unstructured data in one governed platform, cutting reporting time and cloud cost while supporting BI, machine learning and AI.
Cloud lakehouse architecture that simplifies your data estate
Separate data warehouses, lakes and spreadsheets create duplicate data, rising costs and slow reporting. A cloud lakehouse combines the low-cost, flexible storage of a data lake with the performance and governance of a data warehouse, so one platform serves analytics and AI.
Our cloud lakehouse architecture service covers design, build and migration: storage layers, table formats, medallion (bronze, silver, gold) modelling, security and cost management. It becomes the foundation for Power BI reporting, master data management and machine learning.
What we deliver
A lakehouse designed for performance, governance and cost control.
Architecture and platform selection
We evaluate options against your workloads, skills and budget, and design a fit-for-purpose target architecture.
Medallion data modelling
Layered bronze, silver and gold zones that move data from raw to trusted, analytics-ready tables.
Ingestion and pipelines
Batch and streaming ingestion from your operational systems, files and SaaS tools.
Governance and security
Catalogue, lineage, role-based access and data classification for confident, compliant use.
Performance and cost optimisation
Partitioning, caching and workload management that keep queries fast and cloud spend predictable.
Migration from legacy platforms
Planned, low-disruption migration from existing warehouses, lakes and on-premises databases.
How we work
A clear, low-risk path from first conversation to a working result.

Cloud lakehouse FAQs
Straight answers to the questions we hear most.
What is a data lakehouse?
A lakehouse combines a data lake’s flexible, low-cost storage with a data warehouse’s structure, performance and governance, supporting BI, data science and AI on one platform.
Lakehouse or data warehouse: which should we choose?
It depends on your data types, workloads, skills and budget. We assess your needs and recommend the simplest architecture that meets them.
Can you migrate our existing warehouse?
Yes. We plan phased migrations that validate each step against current reports, minimising disruption.
How do you control cloud costs?
Through right-sizing, efficient data layouts, workload scheduling and monitoring with budgets and alerts.
