 Benefits of Data Warehouse

1. Understand business trends and make better forecasting decisions.

2. Data Warehouses are designed to perform well enormous amounts of data.

3. The structure of data warehouses is more accessible for end-users to navigate, understand, and query.

4. Queries that would be complex in many normalized databases could be easier to build and maintain in data warehouses.

5. Data warehousing is an efficient method to manage demand for lots of information from lots of users.

6. Data warehousing provides the capabilities to analyze a large amount of historical data.

                                             Or,

There are many benefits of a data warehouse. Here are just a few:

Better business analytics

With data warehousing, decision-makers have access to data from multiple sources and no longer have to make decisions based on incomplete information.

Faster queries

Data warehouses are built specifically for fast data retrieval and analysis. With a data warehouse, we can very rapidly query large amounts of consolidated data with little to no support from IT.

Improved data quality

Before being loaded into the data warehouse, data cleansing cases are created by the system and entered in a worklist for further processing, ensuring data is transformed into a consistent format to support analytics - and decisions - based on high-quality, accurate data.

Historical insight

By storing rich historical data, a data warehouse lets decision-makers learn from past trends and challenges, make predictions, and drive continuous business improvement.

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?

a) A Snowflake Shema is shown in figure below: b) The specific OLAP operations to be performed: 1. Roll-up on course from course_id to department. 2. Roll-up on a student from student_id to university. 3. Dice on course, student with department ="CS" and university = "biguniversity" 4. Drill-down on a student from the university to student_name. c) N = 4 dimensions The cube will contain 54 = 625 cuboids.

Pure Versus Partial EC

Pure Versus Partial EC EC takes several forms depending on the degree of digitization (the transformation from physical to digital). Companies utilizing pure EC conduct all of their business online. Businesses utilizing partial EC conduct a portion of their business online and a portion of their business off-line OR,    Pure E-electronic commerce refers to a situation where a business transacts its business activities PURELY online. that is, the goods or services sold do not have any physical presence. take a business that sells software, for example, you just pay and download, or one that sells music files online. Partial E-Commerce on the other hand refers to a slightly opposite situation where a business has an online presence, but still has a physical location for the goods and services it sells. For example, Amazon, Walmart, and any other you can think of. you buy the goods online but receive them physically.                   ...

Discuss classification or taxonomy of virtualization at different levels.

Taxonomy of virtualization Virtualization is mainly used to emulate the execution environment, storage, and networks. The execution environment is classified into two: – Process-level – implemented on top of an existing operating system.  – System-level – implemented directly on hardware and does not or minimum requirement of the existing operating system. OR,  Virtualization covers a wide range of emulation techniques that are applied to different areas of computing. A classification of these techniques helps us better understand their characteristics and use  V irtualization is mainly used to emulate  ● Execution Environments: To provide support for the execution of the programs eg. OS, and Application.  ○ Process Level: Implemented on top of an existing OS that has full control of the hardware  ○ System Level: Implemented directly on Hardware and do not require support from existing OS.  ● Storage: Storage vi...
