ASUG Québec: Pratique d’excellence pour l’entreposage de données
Le 24 avril, 2009 à 8:00am
ASUG Québec est fier de s’associer à SAND Technology et SAP pour vous inviter à un atelier de grande qualité portant sur SAP Business Intelligence (BI) et Information Lifecycle Management (ILM).
Des aspects tels que l’extensibilité, la performance et la capacité à respecter les accords de niveau de service, deviendront rapidement de très grands défis pour les entrepôts de données dans un contexte de mondialisation. En plus des exigences beaucoup plus élevées des utilisateurs pour accéder à plus de données avec une granularité plus détaillée, les exigences légales et réglementaires, telles que Bâle II ou la loi Sarbanes-Oxley, par exemple, jouent désormais un rôle plus important dans ce domaine.
Cette présentation porte sur le principe de la gestion du cycle de vie de l’information (ILM) et de l’entreposage Nearline (NLS) dans le cadre de l’architecture de l’entrepôt de données d’entreprise de SAP NetWeaver; un concept qui offre une approche complètement différente pour relever les défis d’augmenter les niveaux de performance et de donner une plus grande extensibilité à un entrepôt de données d’entreprise.
Faites vite pour vous inscrire, les places sont limitées.
