Overview of DBMS Technologies
 A majority of organizations today have
heterogeneous solutions for analytics.
 In-house DBMS (vendor/architecture still
important) vs. Cloud (vendor/architecture
not as important).
 No longer single model to multiple use case.
 Evolving from DBMS as the global data store
to technical requirement driven.
A database management
system (DBMS) is system
software for creating and
managing databases. The
DBMS provides users and
programmers with a
systematic way to create,
retrieve, update and
manage data.

“New Types” of DBMS
Old View
•Hierarchical
•Network
•Relational
•Object-oriented
Expanded
View
•Columnar
•Graph
“New” View
•No SQL (key-
value, wide
column, graph, or
document)
•Appear like
original view PLUS
specialized
functionality
Realistic View
•Types and
functions are
blurred
•e.g. some RDBMS
have graph
capability
The emphasis is on the role the DBMS performs.
The era of the dedicated single enterprise DBMS is over.

About Graph Databases
 A Graph database is a database
designed to treat the relationships
between data as equally important
to the data itself.
 Less emphasis on a pre-defined
model for structure.
 Data is “stored” like we first
draw it out – showing how each
individual entity connects with
or is related to others.
 Think of complicated many-to-
many-to-many relationships.

It’s the relationships that are interesting – what if this result is from a security audit?

Answering difficult questions typically requires many hops through multiple
domains of data. This data probably exists, but is not linked together.

DBMS Usage in Analytics
 DBMS technology needs to cover:
Functionality of
Data Warehouse
Virtualization or
Logical Data
Warehouse
Real time analytics
Context
Independent
Multiple formats
Lineage, metadata,
and mapping of
massive amounts
of diverse content
Foundation for AI
Structured data
analysis
Advanced analytics Visualization

Varied DBMS Usage in Analytics — Sample Architecture
 Graph for knowledge
mapping and metadata
 Document data base for
document storage and use
 Hadoop or other NoSQL for
merging and analyzing
varied content
 Columnar for handling

Knowledge Management and Future Usage
“ Knowledge Management turns
the potential capacity of raw
“connected and collaborative
intelligence”, i.e. all those brains
at the end of the computer, into
a “collective know-how” that will
improve operations,
competitiveness and value. ….. It
is a SUM of information assets,
…and most importantly, the un-
captured, tacit expertise and
experience resident in the
minds of people.”
“ Knowledge management is
a discipline that promotes an
integrated approach to
identifying, capturing,
evaluating, retrieving, and
sharing all of an enterprise's
information assets. ... The
one real lacuna of this
definition is that it, too, is
specifically limited to an
organization's own
information and knowledge
assets. “
 The context,
metadata and
the relationships
are as important
as the values of
the records.
John Ladley Wikipedia

Knowledge Management and Future Usage
 Blurs with AI and machine learning
 Still retains old challenges that AI needs
to take to heart (data quality/data
movement/context)
 When you present a sophisticated
model, whether derived from
exploration or a recognized pattern,
you still need to apply what people

Best Practices
 Understand your data and usage
 Determine what the need is for
specialized DBMS
 Test your current DBMS stack through a
POC to see if the merchant vendor can
really handle the task.
 Understand data quality or business
needs

Key Takeaways
KEEP IN MIND…
 Do you know what capabilities you are trying to enable?
 Do you know business latencies ?
 Are you looking at native or conceptual aspects for database use cases?
 Are you keeping track of the vendors?
 Can you manage and afford many DBMS or do you need to work hard with
one or two large players?
 You can’t buy one of everything
