Data Integration

Data Integration

80 percent of BIDW projects are spent building and maintaining the 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 Alternatives

Horizontal(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 Simultaneous Threads!

Data Warehouse

Warehouse Enterprise Engine

Data Lifecycle Management

Once Again, Focus on Requirements

Define 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/Opinions
Clustered vs non-Clustered, Vertical vs Horizontal, Tiered Storage(ILM) vs nonTiered Storage Focus on Data and System CTQs Limited Horizontally Scaling (AMD, SPARC) (ie dont scale past 4 nodes) Develop a ILM strategy up front to support your merge and purge strategy. Performance focused remove dormant data

Sun Strengths for the Warehouse Enterprise Engine

Ideal consolidation platform to reduce complexity

Designing next generation CPUs (ROCK) for DB performance

Proven performance for large DWTPC-H QphH High Availability 59,435@3TB On-the-fly 31% > than scalability leader Servers and Storage

Service Availability for Every Need

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-disruptively

Scalability

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 Availability Supports SAS products

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 protection services

BI Reporting & Analytics
