Retrieving and managing data effectively is crucial to gain useful information and allow for the best decision making. But how long does it take you to get the information? First, ETL time is usually a pain point as the size of data is often huge. Second, query time is critical as well, especially for ad hoc analyses. Say goodbye to all this waiting! Sadas Engine was specifically designed to achieve outstanding performances in DWH environments.

Data Warehouse
WHAT IS DWH?
THE PROBLEM
“A data warehouse is a copy of transaction data specifically structured for query and analysis.”
“A subject oriented, integrated, time variant, and non-volatile collection of summary and
detailed historical data used to support the strategic decision-making processes for the
corporation.”
“A data warehouse is the central storage point of all of the relevant information that is needed
for BI reports.[…] a major part of the effort of creating a data warehouse is obtaining the big
picture of what data exist, how is defined, and what the end result should look like.”
“A data warehouse is a storage architecture designed to hold data extracted from transaction
systems, operational data stores and external sources. The warehouse then combines that data
in an aggregate, summary form suitable for enterprise-wide data analysis and reporting for
predefined business needs.”

A Data Warehouse essentially stores data, but there are also a lot of other activities it has to carry out: extract,
transform and load data as well as retrieve and analyze it. This is necessary for business intelligence purposes
in particular: retrieving and managing data effectively is crucial to gain useful information and allow for the best
decision making.
ETL time may be a pain point because the size of data is often huge. In fact, the quality of analysis depends on
the volume of the information loaded in the data warehouse. On the other hand, query time is critical as well,
especially for ad hoc analyses.
