Increased Volumes of Data todays largest data warehouses are in the 100s of terabytes scale, but data volumes in many organizations are rising dramatically. Within 3 years, there will be significantly more organizations with 100s of terabytes of data, and many organizations will be breaking into the petabyte range.Need to reduce costs The global economic recession of 2009 has affected companies of all sizes all over the world. Now more than ever, budgets are being squeezed and there is a growing requirement for IT services to do more with less.Increased adoption of hardware appliances more and more organizations are purchasing data warehouse appliances rather than building their own bespoke data warehouse server infrastructure and installing software.Move to Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) while symmetric multi-processing works well for todays data warehouses and data marts, as data volume and data warehouse utilization grows, many organizations are looking to MPP processing architectures to increase scalability and performance.Demand for flexibility and mixed workloads Data Warehouses are now serving an increasing range and number of user groups, each with their own requirements and workloads. Organizations are trying to find ways to meet the needs of a diverse range of users while maintaining the overall consistency of enterprise data an the ability to adapt to changes in the business.Desire for real-time analytics While historical reporting and analysis continue to be important, organizations are increasingly looking for real-time analysis solutions that will enable them to be more responsive and informed when making critical business decisions.Growing importance of data quality Organizations are increasingly aware of the need for the data in their data warehouse to be accurate and consistent, so many data warehouse professionals are looking for data quality tools that will help them improve the overall quality of their data.5Budget reducedHiring frozenApproved projects on holdPriorities shift to short-term gainsNo impact so far57%41%30%31%27%Effect of current recession on DW teams and projectsNew tool and platform acquisitions frozen25%Some team members laid off19%Focus shifted from new dev to admin of old solutions18%Other3%Source: TDWI Report Next Generation DWData Warehouse Customer ChallengesIncreased data volumesNeed to reduce costsIncreased adoption of DW appliancesDemand for flexibility and mixed workloadsDesire for real-time analyticsGrowing importance of data quality 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

- Optimized for transactions: single row entry and retrieval

- Thousands of concurrent users 2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.Cisco Confidential#Data Warehouse versus OLTPStorage Goal- Primary focus on sequential read operations

- Optimized for disk scan over seek operations

- Storage optimization focused on disk scan rate (MB/s)

2010 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.Cisco Confidential#Customer ChallengeServer/Storage design balance can be complex for customers to design and get right!- Server can consume 12 GB/sec of IO, but the SAN can only deliver 2 GB/secEven when the SAN is dedicated to the SQL Data Warehouse, which it often isnt- SAN can deliver 16 GB/sec, but the server can only process 2 Gb/secQueries are slow- Despite significant investment in both Server and Storage

Result: significant investment, not delivering performance
