ETL Channel

Skyrocketing data volumes have left many corporations with data warehouses teetering on the petabyte brink and performance bottlenecks throughout the organization. A popular Web site can create billions of clickstream records in a single day. High-volume sales drill down to detailed financial records, increased customer data, and additional marketing demographics. And then there's legacy, inventory, billing, etc. This wealth of data often translates to longer processing times, increased costs, and missed reporting deadlines. When an enterprise-wide ETL solution begins to slow down, the impact is felt in everything from daily business transactions to high-level business analytics.

Solving performance problems - or preventing them beforehand - may simply be a matter of keeping your eye on the ball. Bells and whistles are great, but minimizing elapsed time should always be the main objective. Other features, such as scalability and ease of use, will also increase performance. And before committing to a solution, evaluate it in your own environment. This is the only way to determine if a solution's performance impact will meet your individual needs.

In partnership with DMReview, Syncsort is proud to sponsor this resource for the latest information on ETL.
