Data Integration

Data Integration

80 percent of BIDW projects are spent building and maintainingthe data infrastructure

Requirements will drive the Design

Define Business, System, Data, Process and Personnel CTQs● What data and how often does the business require data to be loaded?● What are the availability requirements?● How much data will be pumped through the ETL process and what type of transformation will be done?● How will this process be supported (application, operations, etc) and by whom?

Data Integration Design AlternativesHorizontal(Grid) vs Vertical: Operating Systems: Solaris(SPARC or x86), RedHat, Suse, Windows Chip Technologies: SPARC, CoolThreads, AMD, Intel

Keys to Success: Focus on Requirements Focus on Supportability Focus on reducing complexity

Sun Strengths for Data Integration• CoolThreads – designed for

throughput (8 cores, 32 threads)• UltraSPARC IV+ — world record

setting performance(2.2TB < 90 minutes)

• AMD Opteron x64 servers — 65 world records and counting

• Sun Grid Computing – manage as a single resource, scalability

• Manage individual resources with Solaris Containers

Up to 32 SimultaneousThreads!

Data Warehouse

Warehouse Enterprise Engine

Data Lifecycle Management

Once Again, Focus on RequirementsDefine Business, System, Data, Process and Personnel CTQs What are the business query requirements? (adhoc, analytics, basic reporting, etc) What are the availability requirements? (9x5, cost of downtime, etc.) What is the merge and purge requirements? (2 yrs online, 3 yrs within reach, etc.) How will this environment be supported (application, operations, etc) and by whom?

DW Design Alternatives/OpinionsClustered vs non-Clustered, Vertical vs Horizontal, Tiered Storage(ILM) vs non-Tiered Storage Focus on Data and System CTQs Limited Horizontally Scaling (AMD, SPARC) – (ie don’t scale past 4 nodes) Develop a ILM strategy up front to support your merge and purge strategy. Performance focused – remove dormant data

Multiple Tiers of Storage

Partners

Storage Management• Automated storage resource management and

provisioning• Data protection and recoverability• Hierarchical storage management – SAM-FS• Automated policy management – SAM-FS

Flexibility, Scalability, and Performance

• Flexibility> Virtualization and automatic provisioning for data on-demand> Dynamically reconfigure resources> Solaris Containers and Solaris Resource Manager

• Performance> World-record benchmarks for SMP systems> Sun is the fastest data warehouse engine> CMT – more throughput and scalability> MPO – faster access to memory

• Scale up or out non-disruptivelyScalability

Application Service Availability At a Low Cost – Sun Java Availability Suite

• Continuous access to data and network

• $50 USD/per/employee subscription model

• Very fast recovery from failure• Support for Solaris SPARC and x64

platforms• Easier to manage• Supports SAS products

Availability

Manageability• Dynamic domains - manage pools of resources

individually• Solaris Containers - isolate applications in domains• Solaris Resource Manager - allocate resources

where needed• Sun StorEdge Pool Manager - same concepts for

storage• Sun StorEdge Data Services - common data

BI Reporting & Analytics

BI AnalysisAccess to Multidimensional Data

BI Analysis NeedsAccess to Multidimensional Data

• Spontaneous, ad-hoc queries to uncover trends and identify anomalies

• Support multi-threaded OLAP engines

• N-tier for load balancing, high availability

• 64-bit for larger analytical models

Considerations for BI Analysis

• Flexibility and Scalability> UltraSPARC for vertical scaling to

increase performance for analytics> CoolThreads for BI reporting> AMD Opteron servers for leading

performance, low-cost, less space, and energy-efficient

> J2EE architecture to support SOA initiatives

> Managed as a single, unified resource
