Introduction and Background DWH-Ahsan Abdullah
How is it Different? • Starts with a 6x12 availability requirement ... but 7x24 usually becomes the goal. • Decision makers typically don’t work 24 hrs a day and 7 days a week. An ATM system does. • Once decision makers start using the DWH, and start reaping the benefits, they start liking it… • Start using the DWH more often, till want it available 100% of the time.

How is it Different? • Starts with a 6x12 availability requirement ... but 7x24 usually becomes the goal. • For business across the globe, 50% of the world may be sleeping at any one time, but the businesses are up 100% of the time. • 100% availability not a trivial task, need to take into account loading strategies, refresh rates etc. DWH-Ahsan Abdullah

Data Warehouse Vs. OLTP OLTP: OnLine Transaction Processing (MIS or Database System) DWH-Ahsan Abdullah
Comparison of Response Times • On-line analytical processing (OLAP) queries must be executed in a small number of seconds. • Often requires denormalizationand/or sampling. • Complex query scripts and large list selections can generally be executed in a small number of minutes. • Sophisticated clustering algorithms (e.g., data mining) can generally be executed in a small number of hours (even for hundreds of thousands of customers).
