DW 2.0 and Beyond – Derek Strauss
Data Warehousing has been around for more than 25 years and has become part of the information technology infrastructure. Data warehousing originally grew in response to the corporate need for information--not data--and it supplies integrated, granular, and historical data to the corporation. There are many kinds of data warehouses, in large part due to evolution and different paths of software and hardware vendors. In 2008, DW2.0™ was published as the industry standard best practice reference architecture for mature enterprise data warehousing. Together with the Seven Streams Reference Framework for mature Data Management, it has provided a guide for what a mature data warehouse and its supporting ecosystem should be, embracing the vision of Bill Inmon (widely regarded as the father of data warehousing). Today Big Data Technologies have emerged, enabling Analytics communities to have access to data in increased volume, velocity and variety. People talk about the Data Lake, Data Ocean, Data Reservoir, etc. Does this new construct replace the Data Warehouse? Or does it complement the Data Warehouse? And where are all these technological advances leading us? |
