Physical Data Warehouse Design
Abstract
Data warehouse projects have special requirements for the physical architecture of the database system. These requirements distinguish data warehouse projects from operational data stores and are often underestimated. This chapter covers topics such as hardware optimization, optimization of the operating system, a “sales-pitch” for a dedicated data warehouse infrastructure (as opposed to adding the data warehouse to the existing, operational infrastructure), and some background information on hardware and database options. It also includes how to set up each individual layer of the data warehouse and the options available for each layer.
