Are You Ready for the New BI Architecture?

• Traditional Datawarehouse and BI infrastructures do not meet current needs for handling massive and heterogeneous data, computational research-based analysis, and real-time data analysis.
• Hadoop and other technologies for managing relational and non-relational data require expanding the traditional BI model and adding new components to the architecture.
• The new BI architecture should include three components: an Analytics and Computational Research Platform, a Data Refinery Platform, and a Real-time Data Warehouse Platform.
• The Analytics and Computational Research Platform is used for data exploration and creating new analytical models based on data mining, cause-effect analysis, what-if analysis, pattern analysis, and unplanned data research.
• The Data Refinery Platform captures detailed data from various digital sources and converts it into useful information for advanced analytics or the enterprise data warehouse.
• New platforms require more flexible data management policies in terms of security, privacy, quality, storage, and data elimination.
• The Data Refinery Platform converts unstructured and structured data into useful information.
• The Real-time Data Warehouse Platform uses the output information from the Data Refinery Platform for analysis.
• The Analytics and Computational Research Platform can be used partially or fully by companies as an extension of their data refinery applications.
• The Data Refinery Platform captures data in batches or real-time from various sources such as sensors, social networks, and RFIDs.
