Whether you have already embarked on your digital transformation journey or plan to soon, the use cases around data lake migration usually fall into the following scenarios:
Hadoop Migration
Hybrid Cloud
Disaster Recovery
Cloud Data Migration
For enterprises that plan to be fully migrated (lift-and-shift or re-platform) within the next 12-18 months.
Hybrid Data Estate
Maintaining on-premises assets for as long as necessary, as enterprises maintain critical on-premises applications while expanding their investment in the cloud.
Backup
Taking advantage of cloud economics to maintain scheduled backups.
Disaster Recovery
Enterprises that wish to decommission certain environments that have to be maintained for regulatory purposes can utilize the cloud as the new secure repository.
Cloud-Burst
Enabling Enterprises to access compute and storage in the cloud when required rather than building infrastructure for peak capacity.
Cloud Analytics
Bring on-premises Hive workloads to Azure HDInsight, which provides a managed, full-spectrum, open-source analytics service in the Azure cloud.

Addressing data lakes migration challenge
Combining WANdisco LiveData for Databricks and Delta Lake running on Azure Databricks is a natural response to the challenges of migrating big data to the cloud. Azure Databricks provides an elegant answer to this challenge by offering more capable technologies for applications and systems to operate against big data in the cloud. Delta Lake provides the storage and processing layer on top of cloud storage to support enterprise workloads across streaming and batch requirements to better manage data lakes at scale.
