Agenda

" What is database archiving?

" Why is it increasingly important?

" What sort of features do you need?

" What trends do we see and what differentiates products?


What is database archiving?

Online, low cost, highly compressed storage that requires no change to access methods

Not back-up Not e-mail archive

Not CSV or XML files


Two scenarios

Access support for originating application

SQL support


Why is database archiving increasingly on the agenda?

" Availability of cloud-based archiving

" Availability of Hadoop/HDFS-based archiving

" Synergy with data migration


What you need 1

You need to know what data to archive


What you need 2

You don’t just archive a record, you archive all the other data related to that record – to preserve referential integrity – which means discovering

and understanding business entities in their entirety.


What you need 3

" High compression rates " Low cost storage


What you need 4

Loading and

access

Without indexes


What you need 5

Information Lifecycle Management not Industrial Light & Magic


What you need 6


The trend towards Hadoop

But Hadoop/HDFS is insufficient on its own because the compression is not good enough

and neither is the security


Other trends

" Compression will (almost) become commoditised (but not yet)

" Deployments will built on top of Hadoop/HDFS or in the cloud (or both)

" In data warehousing environments data virtualisation (federation) will be used to interconnect warehouses, marts and archives

" Differentiation will focus on: " Ease of establishing what data to archive " Performance – both for loading and retrieval


Conclusion

" Database archiving looks more and more like a mandatory activity

" DIY approaches won’t cut it because of a) the work involved and b) because you won’t get either the cost savings or performance you could do

" Deployments will increasingly be on low-cost clustered hardware or in the cloud
