CHAPTER EIGHT
OVERVIEW
This chapter takes a step beyond databases and
discusses data warehouses and data mining
It also discusses the importance of
building systems that operate efficiently
and effectively

DATA WAREHOUSE
FUNDAMENTALS

Data warehouse a logical collection of

information gathered from many different
operational databases that supports business
analysis activities and decision-making tasks

The primary purpose of a data

warehouse is to aggregate information
throughout an organization into a single
repository for decision-making purposes

DATA WAREHOUSE
FUNDAMENTALS

Extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL)

a process that extracts information from internal
and external databases, transforms the
information using a common set of enterprise
definitions, and loads the information into a data
warehouse
Data mart contains a subset of
data warehouse information

FUNDAMENTALS

Continued
Data Warehouse Model

MULTIDIMENSIONAL
ANALYSIS AND DATA MINING

Databases contain information in a series of twodimensional tables

In a data warehouse and data mart, information
is multidimensional, it contains layers of columns
and rows
Dimension a particular attribute of
information

MULTIDIMENSIONAL
ANALYSIS AND DATA MINING

Cube common term for the

representation of multidimensional
information

MULTIDIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS AND

DATA MINING
Data mining the process of analyzing data to
extract information not offered by the raw data
alone
To perform data mining users need
data-mining tools
Data-mining tools use a variety of
techniques to find patterns and relationships
in large volumes of information and infer
rules from them that predict future behavior
and guide decision making
Include query tools, reporting tools,
multidimensional analysis tools, statistical
tools, and intelligent agents

INFORMATION CLEANSING
OR SCRUBBING
An organization must maintain high-quality
data in the data warehouse
Information cleansing and scrubbing a process
that weeds out and fixes or discards inconsistent,
incorrect, or incomplete information

12

KEEPING BUSINESS OPERATIONS

RUNNING SMOOTHLY

Organizations must protect themselves from

system failures and crashes

Three primary steps an organization

can take to protect its systems:
1. Develop an appropriate backup
and recovery strategy
2. Create a disaster recovery plan
3. Build adaptable business systems
13

BACKUP AND RECOVERY

STRATEGY

Backup an exact copy of a systems

information
Recovery the ability to get a
system up and running in the event
of a system crash or failure and
includes restoring the information
backup

14

DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN

Disaster recovery plan a detailed process for
recovering information or an IT system in the event of
a catastrophic disaster
Hot site a separate and fully equipped
facility where the company can move
immediately after a disaster and resume
business
Cold site a separate facility that does not
have any computer equipment, but is a
place where employees can move after the
disaster

15

DISASTER RECOVERY PLAN

Disaster recovery cost curve charts:

1. The cost to the organization of the unavailability of
information and technology
2. The cost to the organization of recovering from a
disaster over time

16

BUILDING ADAPTABLE SYSTEMS

Five characteristics of adaptable systems:

1. Flexibility systems must meet all types of
business changes
2. Scalability refers to how well a system can
adapt to increased demands
3. Reliability ensures all systems are functioning
correctly and providing accurate information
4. Availability addresses when systems can
be accessed by employees, customers, and
partners
5. Performance measures how quickly a
system performs a certain process or
transaction in terms of efficiency IT
metrics of both speed and throughput17

OPENING CASE STUDY QUESTIONS

For Our Discussions
1.

How does the implementation of data warehouse, data mining and disaster
revovery program on your enterprise or your recent company?

2.

Explain why does they important to your company and affecting all aspects
of your company. Also Describe the fundamentals of a disaster recovery
plan along with a recommendation for a plan for your company
