Sybase IQ – A Major Player • Designed specifically from the ground up for analytics • Compresses data anywhere from 30 to 60 percent • Current record holder for the largest data warehouse (48.2 TB input data compressed to 22 TB) • Highly Scalable – near-linear and data scalability to support 100s and 1000s of users and terabytes of data • Column-based • Patented Bit-wise indexing • 100 times faster than traditional RDBMs
Sybase IQ – A Major Player • Incredibly fast loads for scalability and load frequency (real-time) • Designed for large scope queries - for example trend analysis spanning many years and billions of facts • Easier to maintain - does not require time and resource-intensive tuning to obtain excellent performance • Facilitates more frequent analysis cycles, deeper more current understanding and a smarter business
Beneficial Experiences • ESA load time decreased from 5 hours to 20 minutes • Utilization report processing time decreased to 20 seconds from a previous 25+ minutes • Every query, report and stored procedure runs faster on Sybase IQ • With faster performance faster turn-around and more numerous queries for deeper analysis and a smarter business • Reduction in administration, maintenance & tuning • Index maintenance eliminated – “set it and forget it” • Very scalable solution
Lessons Learned The enterprise needs to move to an architecture standard where reports and queries run on IQ Database sparcity is a non-issue for data warehouse design – there is no degradation of performance for a sparse data warehouse, thus simplifying and reducing design and implementation costs Separating the staging of data on ASE and the presentation of data on IQ improved load and query performance and helped to stabilize our BI environment Indexing was very easy and involved virtually no maintenance – “set it and forget it” Administration cost decreased dramatically Tuning became a non-issue
IWS – Industry Warehouse Studio Jump-starts the design, development and implementation Sales analysis and design costs Key performance indicators designed specifically for the financial, media, insurance and communications industries
