REDWOOD CITY, Calif., May 10, 2012 -
Informatica Corporation (NASDAQ: INFA), the world's number
one independent provider of
data integration software, today announced the
Informatica Lean Data Warehouse Healthcheck designed to
help organizations improve data warehouse performance and
control the cost associated with the explosive growth of
their analytic environments. This limited-time program
includes the no-cost, 14 Day Lean
Data Warehouse Healthcheck and the specially priced
Lean Data Warehouse Solution, combining
Informatica Data Archive and
Informatica Data Warehouse Advisor.
By applying lean manufacturing principles to data
management, Informatica's Lean Data Warehouse solution
combines monitoring, diagnostics, tiering, partitioning and
archiving with best-practices methodology to eliminate
waste and inefficient use of resources associated with
unmanaged data growth. Customers that embrace lean data
warehousing can significantly reduce cost and complexity of
their analytic environment while delivering predictable
query, backup, and recovery performance. Through deep
insight into what business users are querying and how
frequently, IT can take specific actions to contain data
warehouse costs and ensure the business value of the data
is aligned with the cost of managing the data. Customers
can maintain and improve service levels without purchasing
more database capacity, additional hardware or engaging in
expensive tuning.
"In this era of
big data and expensive analytic appliances, CIOs are
mandating that IT needs to proactively manage data
warehouse growth to keep costs under control, while
continuing to deliver even higher performance," said Adam
Wilson, general manager, ILM, Informatica. "The good news
is that a significant percent of the data in most
warehouses is infrequently accessed and customers can
improve their return
on data by managing the lifecycle of that information
more aggressively."
14-Day Healthcheck: Cost-free Introduction to Lean Data
Warehousing
The Healthcheck enables organizations to take the first
steps towards managing explosive data growth in the data
warehouse. It combines the free trial with a written
assessment and expert consultation tailored to the
customer's unique situation, and will identify:
-
Dormant data that can be archived to reduce costs.
-
Data fields that may be partitioned to improve
performance.
-
Data that is never used and that can be removed from
loads.
-
Data "hot spots" on which to focus tuning and
optimization efforts.
-
Data involved in the worst performing queries.
To capitalize on this knowledge, companies can license the
promotionally priced Lean Data Warehouse Solution to put
insights into action.
Informatica's Solution for Lean Data Warehousing
The Lean Data Warehouse Solution combines analysis with
action to support an ongoing repeatable process based on
the following Informatica components:
-
Informatica Data Warehouse Advisor monitors and
quantifies how business units and departments use
warehouse data, measures BI query performance and
monitors
Informatica PowerCenter data integration workflows.
-
Informatica Data Archive manages big data growth
by intelligently partitioning or relocating data that
Data Warehouse Advisor identifies as dormant or
infrequently used. The inactive data can be moved to a
separate database partition on tiered storage or to a
secure, highly compressed file for access from any
reporting or BI tool, while the most relevant data can be
retained and optimized in the data warehouse.
