Logisch Datawarehouse – Architectuur, Ontwerp en Technologie

Rick van der Lans

Het Logical Data Warehouse, een door Gartner geïntroduceerde flexibele architectuur, is gebaseerd op een ontkoppeling van rapportage en analyse enerzijds en gegevensbronnen anderzijds. Een flexibele architectuur waarbij sneller nieuwe gegevensbronnen aangekoppeld kunnen worden, self-service BI goed te ondersteunen is, waar Operational BI eenvoudig te implementeren is, waar het adopteren van nieuwe technologieën zoals Hadoop en NoSQL en Big Data, relatief eenvoudig is. In dit praktische seminar wordt de architectuur toegelicht en de producten besproken. Tevens wordt besproken hoe organisaties kunnen migreren van hun bestaande naar deze nieuwe architectuur. Tips en ontwerprichtlijnen komen aan bod.
