They offer powerful features for manipulating, cleansing and transforming data before it is loaded into the destination system.<\/li><li><strong>ETL tools:<\/strong> ETL tools such as Talend, Pentaho or Informatica can also be used to set up a staging area. These tools enable data flows to be managed, transformed and loaded into different data sources. They offer advanced functions for error management, data validation and task scheduling.<\/li><li><strong>File storage systems:<\/strong> File storage systems such as Hadoop HDFS, Amazon S3 or Azure Blob Storage can be used to temporarily store files containing data extracted from different data sources. These storage systems offer high storage capacity, high availability and data redundancy to guarantee data security.<\/li><li><strong>Workflow management tools:<\/strong> Workflow management tools such as <a href=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/apache-airflow-a-comprehensive-guide-to-workflow-orchestration\">Apache Airflow<\/a>, Azkaban or Luigi can be used to automate the ETL process and schedule tasks efficiently.
