When I was a kid, my room was often a mess. Clothes on the floor, toys everywhere. My mom would try to stay on me to keep it clean, but it was mostly a losing battle for her. What usually inspired me to clean up, however, was when I couldn't find something. Then I knew it was time to take inventory and get a bit more organized (for the time being, at least).

Data management isn't much different - especially with large unstructured data lakes. Not only are there potentially millions - or billions - of files, but much of that data is redundant, unnecessary or obsolete. The problem is, if you haven't been keeping your data sets clean, you are now stuck with the arduous task of finding out what is in your data.

This week on the podcast, Cecile Kellam and Michael Landau join me to discuss how Cloud Data Sense can quickly and easily help you find out what is in your data, with the end goal of tidying up your messy data sets.
