WORLD WIDE TECHNOLOGY’S ALL-IN-ONE DATA WAREHOUSE

OPTIMIZATION APPLIANCE

THE GROWING DATA STORAGE CHALLENGE

As data volumes grow, so do traditional data warehouse performance issues

and storage costs. Real-time reporting systems slow down as they compete

for processing resources. Frequent upgrades to data warehouses coupled

with expanded storage and licenses can quickly drive up the total cost of

ownership. Organizations are left with large amounts of structured and

unstructured data they can’t easily manage or use, regardless of available Big

Data and business intelligence technologies.

Big Data implementations are also highly complex. Most organizations

don’t have the time, resources or expertise to navigate the crowded vendor

space, evaluate the wide range of hardware and software solutions required

to optimize data warehouse performance, or coordinate and balance the

opinions of multiple IT stakeholders.

WWT’S DATA WAREHOUSE OPTIMIZATION APPLIANCE

World Wide Technology (WWT) addresses these challenges with an end-to-

end Data Warehouse Optimization (DWO) appliance that combines hardware,

software and services into a pre-built, validated solution that eliminates

implementation complexity and speeds time to market. This appliance quickly

enables users to offload cold data and processing to a Hadoop®-based

platform, alleviating performance bottlenecks and significantly lowering costs.

In addition, the Hadoop environment allows for all of the data to be captured

in its native format, which positions organizations to take full advantage

of their data. WWT’s all-in-one DWO appliance delivers real return on

investment within eight weeks and includes:

Hardware: Cisco Systems® Unified Computing System™ provides the

foundation for our DWO solution, with a validated architecture that unites

compute, network and storage into a cohesive system.

Software: Red Hat® Linux® serves as the appliance operating system.

Appfluent® Visibility identifies appropriate ETL/ELT processes and data that

can be offloaded into Hadoop. Informatica® Big Data Edition® offloads data

and processing workloads consuming too much data warehouse capacity

onto a Hadoop platform powered by Cloudera®, Hortonworks™ or MapR™.

Our vendor-neutral approach allows you to test Hadoop distributions and

choose the one that works best for your organization.

Services: WWT provides a range of services to ensure DWO success. Data

Environment Assessments allow our experts to analyze your environment

and identify data and associated process candidates for offloading. Hardware

and software deployments are overseen by WWT’s highly certified engineers.

Plus, WWT delivers complete integration services, which include connecting

the DWO appliance to your warehouse and source data, identifying high-

value workflows and tables, migrating workflows and data using Informatica

Big Data Edition, and demonstrating existing reporting running in Hadoop.

PROVEN DATA WAREHOUSE OPTIMIZATION METHODOLOGY

WWT takes a multi-phased approach to DWO and uses our Advanced

Technology Center and integration labs to streamline deployments, reduce

risk and allow you to get started with DWO fast.

Assessment: WWT fi rst deploys data warehouse assessment software within

your current environment, collects monitoring data from your data warehouse

over a period of time, then analyzes metadata from ETL and ELT jobs running

in the data warehouse to determine which processes and data can be

offl oaded to Hadoop. We interview database administrators, developers and

data architects to understand the scope and complexity of your workfl ows.

WWT then provides a Data Warehouse Assessment deliverable, which

includes data warehouse hot and cold-zone mapping along with workfl ows

categorized by complexity, run time and data source.

Deployment: WWT deploys our all-in-one DWO appliance consisting of

Cisco UCS hardware, Red Hat Linux Operating System, Hadoop Distribution

(Cloudera, Hortonworks or MapR) and Informatica Big Data Edition for

profi ling, complex data parsing, data integration and data quality on Hadoop.

Our experts will then build, rack, stack and install your DWO appliance in your

environment, including connecting to your existing data warehouse and data

sources, without disrupting daily operations. WWT configures and optimizes

the solution to prepare for DWO.

Optimization: WWT identifies and generates a prioritized list of workflows

and tables that can be transitioned to Hadoop based on ROI metrics and

complexity level. We migrate workflows and data into Hadoop using the right

tools. WWT documents the processes for transitioning workflows as well as

ongoing maintenance and support requirements. We also train end users in

Hadoop management by demonstrating existing reports.

THE WWT DIFFERENCE

WWT guides and supports your team throughout DWO evaluation and

implementation. Our Big Data experts share their knowledge of business,

technology and analytics while WWT professional services engineers,

consulting service engineers and data center technical architects help you

understand advanced data warehouse and storage architectures. By taking a

vendor-neutral approach, WWT ensures that your DWO appliance contains

hardware and software that’s the best fit for your organization. Plus, our

Advanced Technology Center provides hands-on access to all of the DWO

elements, proves ROI through proofs of concept and positions you for future

success with additional Big Data analytics and business intelligence solutions.
