New Delhi: Gartner has identified nine key trends in the data warehousing market for 2011 and 2012. According to it, CIOs must familiarize themselves with these trends and their impact on the cost-benefit balance of technology implemented to deliver business analytics value during 2011 and 2012.
The data warehouse will remain a key component of the IT infrastructure. With the increase in demand for business intelligence (BI) and category of business analytics, optimization, flexible designs and alternative strategies are likely to become important. It says that CIOs can avoid getting 'misdirection' from the data warehouse management and delivery team, which also leads to budget-waste, by being aware of the market trends and how emerging technologies and available practices will blend.
"The data warehouse remains one of the largest, if not the largest, information repository in the enterprise," said Mark Beyer, Research Vice President, Gartner.
The trends identified by Gartner in the data warehousing market for 2011 through 2012 are focus on optimization and performance, data warehouse appliances, the Intensive proof of concept (POC).
Assessment of Data warehouse mixed workloads which include bulk/batch load, basic reporting, basic online analytical processing (OLAP), real-time/continuous load, data mining and operational BI for predictability of mixed workload performance is also one of the trends listed out by Gartner.
Data Marts, an application-specific analytic repository, which can be used to optimize the data warehouse by offloading part of the workload to the data mart, column-store DBMSs, in-memory DBMSs are among the other trends listed. Data Warehouse as a Service that comes in software as a service (SaaS) and outsourced data warehouses and cloud and use of open-source DBMS to deploy the data warehouse are also among the trends for 2011-2012.
Gartner Business Intelligence Summits, which is scheduled to be in Feb, Sydney and May, Los Angele will have discussions on the issues related to key data warehousing.
