Infoworks: Dynamic Data Warehousing on Hadoop that Automatically Ingests and Organizes Enterprise Data for All Use-cases

Enterprises are facing a rapidly growing number of analytics use case and an increasing volume and variety of data. In such scenario, the traditional enterprise data warehouses are proving to be too expensive and cumbersome to handle the increasing demands. It is time to modernize the data ware-house that can efficiently process larger volumes of data; support new data types and multiple analytics use cases in the enterprise. Hadoop offers a cost-effective base platform for this. However, building data warehouse environments on Hadoop is challenging because of the complexity involved in building incremental data update, managing schema changes and historical data, providing high performance data access and other functionality required by the enterprise. Fulfilling these requirements, Infoworks has built a Dynamic Data Warehouse (DDW) platform on Hadoop. The platform is automated end to end and decreases the complexity and the time to analytics insights.

The San Jose, CA, based Infoworks markets Data Warehouse Augmentation (DWA) product that is built on company’s DDW platform. It enables enterprises to modernize their data warehouse environments on Hadoop rapidly. The DWA product automatically synchronizes data from the existing data warehouse, manages audit, history, schema changes, security, and data retention policies. It automatically organizes the data for high-performance access for a variety of use cases–including BI, OLAP, and advanced analytics.

The DWA product has unprecedented automation built in so that the customers do not have to spend months of effort to modernize their analytics infrastructure or rely on building specialized expertise in-house to accomplish the same.
