In-Memory Deep-Field Data Stores - The use of dedicated, in-memory data stores delivers extreme performance exploration warehouses and deep field analytics, and highly responsive OLAP analytics services. Technology is available on in-house, rack mounted commercial services or as a cloud-based, pay-as-you go service model.
Incremental Warehouse Development - This is one of our key approaches to warehouse platform delivery. Incremental development is more of a technique than a technology, but it is key to the delivery of warehouse projects that show results in short time-frames and build on an architecture that accommodates the demands of frequently-changing business requirements.
Near-Real-Time Data Feeds - Data can be delivered throughout the architecture using a services and/or through data log replication, enabling operational data stores and data warehouses to be freed from the traditional limitations of batch windows imposed by traditional ETL technologies. Our teams have implemented several flavors of these types of technologies.
Near-Line Storage - If your organization needs to implement analytics against data in the multi-pedabyte (+1000 terabytes) size range, cost effective solutions are available. Both applications and analytics environments can be built to leverage these seemingly incomprehensible volumes of data. Our teams have architected and delivered these types of systems for over a dozen years.
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) - SOA is growing more popular in the applications space, and we help manage and simplify the use of SOA using an Enterprise Logical Model (ELM). The ELM presents a virtualized data layer for both the applications space and the analytics space, and can improve flexibility, simplify the management of redundant operational systems, and help clarify a data roadmap for managing data throughout the enterprise. SOA or similar messaging services can be used to virtualize layers of the application architecture, as well as to feed activity logs and other data into analytics environments. We've helped clients adapt these types of architectures and the flexibility, cost-reduction and time-to-market advantages are truly awesome.
