Customers’ embrace of the web and smart phones creates massive new data sets, many of them unstructured or semi-structured. The hardware and software technologies underpinning first generation warehouses were not designed to manage data at today’s volume or variety. While coercing older technologies to satisfy new demands may be possible, the results are inefficient and burdened with unplanned, unnecessary costs.
This paper is written with two audiences in mind: organizations which recognize how constraining their first generation warehouse is for their business, and second, those that have already modernized their infrastructure but found their new warehouse inefficient; only delivering speed when coaxed with constant tuning and administration, perpetrating the costs and complexity that they had wished to put behind them.
