2 Session 2: Driving Peak Performance Abstract We know you want the fastest performance possible for your deployments, and yet that relies on many choices across data storage, query approaches and hardware usage. To help those who don t know where to start, and those looking to learn new approaches, this session will discuss the decision-points to implementing a performance architecture, use of in-memory and latest query technology, as well as optimized workload systems. 2

25 OLAP Technology 25 Application Objective Key Question Write-back, what-if analysis, planning/budgeting, or other specialized applications? Can the source be a data warehouse that is structured in a star/snowflake schema? Must the application source be one or several operational/transactional systems, and is a consistent interactive analysis experience a top priority for your users? Must the application source be one or several operational/transactional systems, and is there a need to control latency (ie, some queries hitting the cache / some queries hitting latest data)? If yes TM1 Dynamic Cubes PowerCubes OLAP Over Relational (OOR) Notes / Considerations Medium data volumes High volatility / Write-back Note: aggregation happens on the fly, which can impact performance at high data & high user volumes High data volumes Low latency / Fast performance Optimized aggregates / aggregate-aware Note: Star or snowflake schema is the optimal structure for reporting Highly recommended to maximize performance Low / medium data volumes Data movement into cube structure Note: Data latency is inherent to cube build times Data volume per cube must be managed Low / medium data volumes Caching for performance (Dynamic Query) Leverages existing Framework Manager model Note: Processing associated with operational/transactional systems impacts performance
