Enquadramento
We pretend to answer the following question: “Is the cloud the right place for data warehousing?” Recently Amazon has launched its newest service, Redshift, a cloud-based data warehouse tool.
Cloud Data Warehousing is a potential cost savings for big companies, and removing a cost barrier that have held data warehousing back from small and mid-sized businesses. Cloud Data Warehouse must be designed to take away the undifferentiated heavy lifting of running infrastructure at heavy scale, and this allows the customers to focus on their core competencies.
However there are the new players in this area: EMC and VMware made somewhat of a splash recently when the companies announced their Pivotal Initiative, a combination of big data and cloud-based technologies from each of the companies. Google, with its BigQuery service, is another player to watch in this space and Kognitio, a European data management and BI platform, has made some rumblings about cloud-based data warehousing and others.
Objetivo
In this project we pretend to analyze all the aspects of Cloud Data Warehousing, putting the stress on the integration of a Cloud DW solution within organizations. Also and more important, the opportunity of using a Cloud DW solution is analyzed in contrast with that of using a traditional DW solution. An important point is to evaluate the various players in the market with special focus on security and performance issues. At the end, a prototype implementation of a Cloud Data Warehouse for a specific environment should be proposed.
