blends Hadoop, Cisco and
best-in-class data integration
software to improve Big
Data performance and
dramatically reduce
data warehouse costs.
SOLUTION BRIEF - DATA WAREHOUSE OPTIMIZATION
EIGHT WEEKS TO DATA WAREHOUSE OPTIMIZATION ROI:
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.
