Book Description

The Data Vault was invented by Dan Linstedt at the U.S. Department of Defense, and the standard has been successfully applied to data warehousing projects at organizations of different sizes, from small to large-size corporations. Due to its simplified design, which is adapted from nature, the Data Vault 2.0 standard helps prevent typical data warehousing failures. "Building a Scalable Data Warehouse" covers everything one needs to know to create a scalable data warehouse end to end, including a presentation of the Data Vault modeling technique, which provides the foundations to create a technical data warehouse layer. The book discusses how to build the data warehouse incrementally using the agile Data Vault 2.0 methodology. In addition, readers will learn how to create the input layer (the stage layer) and the presentation layer (data mart) of the Data Vault 2.0 architecture including implementation best practices. Drawing upon years of practical experience and using numerous examples and an easy to understand framework, Dan Linstedt and Michael Olschimke discuss: - How to load each layer using SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS), including automation of the Data Vault loading processes. - Important data warehouse technologies and practices. - Data Quality Services (DQS) and Master Data Services (MDS) in the context of the Data Vault architecture. - Provides a complete introduction to data warehousing, applications, and the business context so readers can get-up and running fast - Explains theoretical concepts and provides hands-on instruction on how to build and implement a data warehouse - Demystifies data vault modeling with beginning, intermediate, and advanced techniques - Discusses the advantages of the data vault approach over other techniques, also including the latest updates to Data Vault 2.0 and multiple improvements to Data Vault 1.0

Book Description

Agile Data Warehouse Design is a step-by-step guide for capturing data warehousing/business intelligence (DW/BI) requirements and turning them into high performance dimensional models in the most direct way: by modelstorming (data modeling + brainstorming) with BI stakeholders. This book describes BEAM✲, an agile approach to dimensional modeling, for improving communication between data warehouse designers, BI stakeholders and the whole DW/BI development team. BEAM✲ provides tools and techniques that will encourage DW/BI designers and developers to move away from their keyboards and entity relationship based tools and model interactively with their colleagues. The result is everyone thinks dimensionally from the outset! Developers understand how to efficiently implement dimensional modeling solutions. Business stakeholders feel ownership of the data warehouse they have created, and can already imagine how they will use it to answer their business questions. Within this book, you will learn: ✲ Agile dimensional modeling using Business Event Analysis & Modeling (BEAM✲) ✲ Modelstorming: data modeling that is quicker, more inclusive, more productive, and frankly more fun! ✲ Telling dimensional data stories using the 7Ws (who, what, when, where, how many, why and how) ✲ Modeling by example not abstraction; using data story themes, not crow's feet, to describe detail ✲ Storyboarding the data warehouse to discover conformed dimensions and plan iterative development ✲ Visual modeling: sketching timelines, charts and grids to model complex process measurement - simply ✲ Agile design documentation: enhancing star schemas with BEAM✲ dimensional shorthand notation ✲ Solving difficult DW/BI performance and usability problems with proven dimensional design patterns Lawrence Corr is a data warehouse designer and educator. As Principal of DecisionOne Consulting, he helps clients to review and simplify their data warehouse designs, and advises vendors on visual data modeling techniques. He regularly teaches agile dimensional modeling courses worldwide and has taught dimensional DW/BI skills to thousands of students. Jim Stagnitto is a data warehouse and master data management architect specializing in the healthcare, financial services, and information service industries. He is the founder of the data warehousing and data mining consulting firm Llumino.

Book Description

Do You Know If Your Data Warehouse Flexible, Scalable, Secure and Will It Stand The Test Of Time And Avoid Being Part Of The Dreaded "Life Cycle"? The Data Vault took the Data Warehouse world by storm when it was released in 2001. Some of the world's largest and most complex data warehouse situations understood the value it gave especially with the capabilities of unlimited scaling, flexibility and security. Here is what industry leaders say about the Data Vault "The Data Vault is the optimal choice for modeling the EDW in the DW 2.0 framework" - Bill Inmon, The Father of Data Warehousing "The Data Vault is foundationally strong and an exceptionally scalable architecture" - Stephen Brobst, CTO, Teradata "The Data Vault should be considered as a potential standard for RDBMS-based analytic data management by organizations looking to achieve a high degree of flexibility, performance and openness" - Doug Laney, Deloitte Analytics Institute "I applaud Dan's contribution to the body of Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing knowledge and recommend this book be read by both data professionals and end users" - Howard Dresner, From the Foreword - Speaker, Author, Leading Research Analyst and Advisor You have in your hands the work, experience and testing of 2 decades of building data warehouses. The Data Vault model and methodology has proven itself in hundreds (perhaps thousands) of solutions in Insurance, Crime-Fighting, Defense, Retail, Finance, Banking, Power, Energy, Education, High-Tech and many more. Learn the techniques and implement them and learn how to build your Data Warehouse faster than you have ever done before while designing it to grow and scale no matter what you throw at it.

Book Description

The data vault methodology presents a unique opportunity to model the enterprise data warehouse using the same automation principles applicable in today's software delivery, continuous integration, continuous delivery and continuous deployment while still maintaining the standards expected for governing a corporation's most valuable asset: data. This book provides at first the landscape of a modern architecture and then as a thorough guide on how to deliver a data model that flexes as the enterprise flexes, the data vault. Whether the data is structured, semi-structured or even unstructured one thing is clear, there is always a model either applied early (schema-on-write) or applied late (schema-on-read). Today's focus on data governance requires that we know what we retain about our customers, the data vault provides that focus by delivering a methodology focused on all aspects about the customer and provides some of the best practices for modern day data compliance.The book will delve into every data vault modelling artefact, its automation with sample code, raw vault, business vault, testing framework, a build framework, sample data vault models, how to build automation patterns on top of a data vault and even offer an extension of data vault that provides automated timeline correction, not to mention variation of data vault designed to provide audit trails, metadata control and integration with agile delivery tools.

Book Description

Over the past 5 years, the concept of big data has matured, data science has grown exponentially, and data architecture has become a standard part of organizational decision-making. Throughout all this change, the basic principles that shape the architecture of data have remained the same. There remains a need for people to take a look at the "bigger picture" and to understand where their data fit into the grand scheme of things. Data Architecture: A Primer for the Data Scientist, Second Edition addresses the larger architectural picture of how big data fits within the existing information infrastructure or data warehousing systems. This is an essential topic not only for data scientists, analysts, and managers but also for researchers and engineers who increasingly need to deal with large and complex sets of data. Until data are gathered and can be placed into an existing framework or architecture, they cannot be used to their full potential. Drawing upon years of practical experience and using numerous examples and case studies from across various industries, the authors seek to explain this larger picture into which big data fits, giving data scientists the necessary context for how pieces of the puzzle should fit together. - New case studies include expanded coverage of textual management and analytics - New chapters on visualization and big data - Discussion of new visualizations of the end-state architecture
