Top 5 Ways to Increase Analytics and Ad Hoc Query Capabilities
Recorded on Thursday, May 27, 2010 @ 12PM CST
Presenter: Geno Valente, XtremeData’s Vice President of Sales & Marketing
Ali Sajanlal, XtremeData’s Director of Analytics Applications
Agenda: XtremeData will discussed the Top 5 Ways to Increase Analytics and Ad Hoc Capabilities:
1. Analytics Sandbox - Allows analytics users to bring data from disparate places into one environment, and perform SQL based analytics.
2. Adjunct to EDW - allows DW managers to offload ad hoc queries, data analysis and exploration applications from high TCO EDW environments to very low TCO, high performance data warehouse appliances.
3. Live-Archive / Disaster Recovery - Allows for a very cost effective DW Disaster Recovery solution, as well as a continuous/live archive where enterprise data can be maintained permanently in an always accessible manner.
4. Hub-Spoke Analytics Architecture - 100’s of TB in Data Center with 1’s of TB in Desk-side.
5. Analytics in One - Third Party Analytical Tools can be co-hosted with dbX.
