 Features to look for in a Virtualization Platform

 1. Reduction of Capital Expenditures (CAPEX): 

Server usage levels are typically modest, averaging approximately 15%. Virtualization has the potential to double throughput. This implies that a corporation may utilize less hardware and save money on electricity. It is important to note that this must be balanced against the total cost of ownership of the virtualization platform.

2. System Consolidation: 

An organization decreases the number of physical servers necessary by running numerous applications and operating systems. This is a method of utilizing computer server resources efficiently to decrease the total number of servers or server locations required by a company.

3. Ease of System Management:

 Easy administration in this sense refers to how quickly new services such as platform as a service (PaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), and software as a service (SaaS) can be implemented. It also refers to the agility and rapidity with which new application stacks are deployed.

4.  Platform Maturity: 

Virtualization is a costly long-term investment that will be squandered if suppliers are swapped. As a result, new market entrants may not be a good option for mission-critical data centers.

5. Hardware Compatibility: 

Hardware challenges with virtualizing platforms include outright incompatibility and sub-optimal performance. Hosted hypervisors often support the widest range of hardware types, whereas bare-bonesvirtualizers are often picky about supported hardware. If you intend to reuse existing gear, be sure that your platform of choice supports it.

6. Total Cost of Ownership: 

The total cost of ownership includes more than simply the cost of acquiring a virtualization platform. Additional costs should be considered, such as guest licensing, training and support, and hardware. The acquisition of sophisticated management is one expense component that is frequently overlooked. These are typically not included in the initial purchase price.

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?

Roll-up on location from location id to location name. 4. Roll-up on the game from game id to all. 5. Dice with status= “students”, location name= “GM Place”, and year=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
