Difference between CapEx and OpEx

-

 The difference between CAPEX AND OPEX are as follows:-

  • Capital Expenditures, often known as CapEx, are the funds spent by your company on fixed assets. Whole systems and servers, printers and scanners, and air conditioners and generators are examples of IT equipment that belong under this category. You purchase these things once and they will benefit your firm for many years. Maintenance of such goods is also termed CapEx because it increases their usefulness and lifespan. These are large investments, generally a one-time buy, that are meant to help your company over a longer period. The procurement cost appears on your balance sheet and is subsequently depreciated over time. Small firms sometimes struggle with CapEx expenditure since it typically comprises the high cost of a one-time purchase. The more money spent on capital expenditures, the less free cash flow there is for the remainder of the firm.
  • We also have Operating Expenses, abbreviated as OpEx, which are the cash that an organization requires to operate its day-to-day operations. Subscription fees for cloud services, website hosting, and web domain registrations are examples of such expenditures. OpEx is expenses for pay-as-you-go things that are taken from your business's income as they occur. For a variety of reasons, most firms now prefer OpEx over CapEx. The amount paid to a vendor for leasing is OpEx; it is incurred as part of the day-to-day operations of the firm.
  • The cloud service provider invests in CapEx, while their customer invests in a pay-as-you-go approach or OpEx. This implies that the data will be kept in the cloud service provider's data, alongside the data of many other organizations, in what is known as a public cloud. Your provider will handle the maintenance and updates. This is a suitable strategy for firms that do not have the resources of an in-house IT team. If a company requires a private cloud, it must develop its own IT infrastructure using the CapEx model. Following an OpEx, they can then provide the resources to other users or divisions inside the organization. 

OR,

 The difference between CAPEX AND OPEX are as follows:-

    CapEx

    • Investment of big amounts of equipment (e.g., Computer system, software) and significant staff required for integration.
    • Equipment failures need to be managed by the company. In-house maintenance staff is required.
    • Overprovisioning and wasted capacity. Getting stuck with the capacity you don't need.
    • Configuration errors can be costly and difficult to remediate.
    • Taking a very long time, usually through a difficult process, to adopt a new capacity.
    • Significant investment is required in monitoring tools with limited automation.
    • The total cost of ownership (TCO) contains many hidden charges.


    OpEx

    • Buy on an as-needed basis, so you are never investing in something that can't be used profitably immediately.
    • Maintenance is the responsibility of the cloud service provider and in most cases it's automatic. Customers don't need to worry.
    • Customers can buy what they need and can resize on the fly depending upon the need. None of those are to be considered by the customer.
    • Software-defined services can be configured.
    • Stand up assets as you need them, and delete what you no longer need.
    • Monitoring and alerting are built into the service with significant automated remediation opportunities.
    • TCO is completely transparent.

    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.

    Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four dimensions; date, spectator, location, and game, and the two measures, count and charge, where charge is the fee that a spectator pays when watching a game on a given date. Spectators may be students, adults, or seniors, with each category having its own charge rate. a) Draw a star schema diagram for the data b) Starting with the base cuboid [date; spectator; location; game], what specific OLAP operations should perform in order to list the total charge paid by student spectators at GM Place in 2004?

    What is national data warehouse? What is census data?

    National Data warehouse   A large number of national data warehouses can be identified from the existing data resources within the central government ministries. These are potential subject areas in which data warehouses may be developed at present and in the future. Census Data Census data can help planners and others understand their communities' social, economic, and demographic conditions. Census data is the primary data used by planners to understand the social, economic, and demographic conditions locally and nationally. We sometimes think the census is unique to the United States, but census data is collected in other countries.  The total process of collecting, compiling, and publishing demographic, economic, and social data about a specific time to all people in a country or fixed or defined area part of a country. Most countries also include a housing census. A census is a procedure of systematically acquiring and recording information about the members of a given populat
