Cisco Big Data Warehouse Expansion

Cisco Big Data Warehouse Expansion is a program and hardware and service complex. It is created for support of customers in questions of control of cost of constantly extending storages.

On July 25, 2014 Cisco announced in the corporate blog an exit of Cisco Big Data Warehouse Expansion - solutions for data management, system growth and increase in value of analytical information.

A system helps to control the used amount of DWH by unloading of seldom queried data in inexpensive storage systems of Big Data.

The company noted three important, according to her, advantages of Cisco Big Data Warehouse Expansion to business users:

• cost control. Usually in the cost of storage the exponential growth of amounts of data is put. The solution Cisco analyzes a system status, identifies not used data and provides means and processes for unloading of these data on the Hadoop platform, allowing to avoid re-equipment and the related costs and by that prolonging data warehouse life.

• Performance improvement. Implementing the strategy of permanent unloading of data from main system on the platform Hadoop, the solution Cisco Big Data Warehouse Expansion releases resources and provides the general performance improvement of a system. Besides, Cisco applies the technology virtualizations of data extended both to primary storage, and to new storage system on the platform to optimization of fast requests and simplification of access Hadoop. Servers Cisco UCS are optimized for tasks Hadoop.

• Increase in value of analytics. The managerial economics data forces many companies to apply aggressive policies of information lifecycle management (Information Lifecycle Management, ILM) which not to raise costs, require removal of data from the critical systems. The solution Cisco allows customers to leave more data online and to make them available to behavior of deeper analysis, increasing, thus, the general value of the environment of storage.
