Information & Knowledge Management (I&KM) professionals continue to expand the scale, scope, and deployment roles for their enterprise data warehousing (EDW) investments. Today's most demanding EDW environments support petabytes of aggregated data, trillions of records, thousands of concurrent users and queries, complex mixed-query workloads, subsecond latencies, and continuous, high-volume data loading. Information managers are adopting EDW best practices that push the scalabilty and performance envelope without sacrificing the agility to optimize this critical infrastructure to ever-changing analytic workloads. This teleconference discusses the various approaches for cost-effectively scaling, accelerating, and optimizing EDWs for the most demanding enterprise requirements. It exlpores the pros and cons of various approaches to data storage, parallelism, partitioning, compression, indexing, caching, query optimization, workload management, and hardware acceleration. It discusses case studies that highlight the practical applications of various approaches.
Agenda:
- Emerging best practices stress scalable but flexible EDW infrastructure.
- Commercial EDW platforms' scalability and flexibility vary widely.
- Petabyte scalability is becoming common but still overkill for most EDWs.
