LET’S TALK ABOUT DATA!

SOME USES CASES

WHERE DATA VIRTUALIZATION

CAN ADD VALUE TO
DATA WAREHOUSING?

From data to performance | © 2020

DV DATA WAREHOUSE PROTOTYPE_
• In traditional DW development, time taken for schema changes, adding
new data sources and providing data federation are often considerable.

• Use DV to prototype a development environment rapidly building a virtual

DW rather than a physical one.

• Reports, dashboards and so on can be built on the virtual DW.

*
DV DATA WAREHOUSE PROTOTYPE
• After prototyping the physical DW can be introduced if the
usage merits.

ENRICH ETL PROCESSES DW_
• Frequently new data sources particularly from ERPs are
required in the DW.

• Often the ETL lacks data access capabilities to

complex sources.
DW
• Tight processing windows may require access,
*
aggregation & federation activities to be performed ETL SERVER DV PRE-PROCESSED VIEWS
prior to the ETL process.

• Powerful data access capabilities of EII provide rich

access and federation capabilities which can present
virtual views to the ETL process which continues as
though using a simpler data source.

FEDERATED DATA WAREHOUSES_
• Many organisations have more than one DW.

• Is the Information in each DW completely discrete?

• Data Virtualisation provides powerful options to federate multiple

FEDERATED DATA WAREHOUSE VIEWS
DW’s by creating an integrated view across them.

• This has particular relevance in providing rapid cross warehouse
views following a merger or acquisition.

DW EXTENSION_
• Business Users Require Data From Outside the Data Warehouse so
they can meet reporting and operational needs.

• Historical data from the warehouse and up-to-the-minute data

from transaction systems or operational data stores is required.

DW DV EXTENDED DW VIEWS
• Summarized data from the warehouse and drill-down detail from *
transaction systems or operational data stores is required.

• Data Virtualisation can Extend Existing Data Warehouses quickly

and easily to work around the fact that key data users need ETL SERVER
resides outside the consolidated data warehouse.

360º MASTER DATA VISION_
• MDM applications alone cannot fully support all requirements as
data exists outside of MDM hub.

• Complementary data integration solutions are needed to deal

with data maintained outside of MDM hubs often in complex,
disparate data silos. COMPLETE 360 VIEW OF MASTER DATA

• DV can extend the Master Data and provide a complete 360o MASTER
view by using master data from the hub as the foreign key to DATA
quickly and easily federate master data with additional HUB
transactional and historical data to get a complete single view of ETL SERVER
master data.
