Data warehousing has evolved rapidly. Previously, data warehouses were housed at remote facilities with access limited to a few professionals. Today, savvy companies are looking for ways to let more individuals have real-time access to their data warehouses to make better, faster business decisions.
According to Oracle, organizations are deploying data-driven business analytics across multiple departments, including finance, marketing, and customer service. As a result, more enterprises demand that their data warehouse perform faster. Fortunately new technologies, such as dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and flash infrastructures, can decrease processing times and let employees run large-scale queries much more quickly.
Without question, data warehouses have come a long way since they were first conceived in the 1980s. Although once thought of as a tool to create annual and quarterly management summaries, data warehouses are now able to provide up-to-the-minute data access to employees across the enterprise.
