Does Your Data Warehouse Pass the TiVo Test?
Early appliances, or data warehouse boxes, fulfilled the strict definition of an appliance: they were built to a specific purpose. Implied in this definition, though, and certainly an important part of how we understand the term "appliance," is the sense that the appliance makes the task easier to perform. For example, we expect an appliance designed to grill slices of bread to make it easier. And if the bread browns more evenly, that's all the better.
An even better analogy to the data warehouse appliance is TiVo. The TiVo device is a package of very sophisticated hardware, connectivity and software. But, it comes as a box with straightforward cables and is pretty close to "plug and play." Consumers don't know that there's a hard drive or Linux operating system in there. And frankly, they shouldn't have to. They bought TiVo so they wouldn't have to miss their favorite shows. TiVo's approach means that they get to spend their time personalizing the offering to match their objectives instead of configuring and tweaking some low-level parameters.
Data warehouse appliances are far simpler to install and maintain than a typical database and storage infrastructure. They're easier to get up and running than a custom-built one.
