Year and Section: 3E Activity: Cloud Data Warehouse or CDW platforms

TITLE
Cloud Data Warehouse or CDW platforms

Research different CDW available online. Based on your research, you should be able to
answer the following:
1. Definition: Define what are CDW and how it is related to Data Warehousing.
- is a database designed with analytics, scalability, and usability in mind and offered as a
managed service in the public cloud. The greater accessibility, scalability, and speed of
cloud-based data warehouses enables business intelligence teams to provide quicker and
better insights than was previously possible.

- provides flexibility by getting up and running in minutes instead of months and expanding
or contracting as needed. Legacy on-premises data warehouses must migrate to the cloud
to continue providing value and integrating into a new analytics environment.

- a cloud service provider handles the management and hosting of the solution. The cloud's
inherent adaptability is yours to use here, along with more predictable prices that can be
set at a flat rate or a percentage of actual usage.

2. Availability: What are the different CDWs available online?
1. Amazon Redshift- Amazon Redshift, which is also called AWS Redshift, is a fully-
managed petabyte-scale cloud-based data warehouse product made for storing and
analyzing large amounts of data. It is also used to move databases on a large scale.

2. Azure Synapse Analytics- Azure Synapse is a service for unlimited analytics that
combines enterprise data warehousing and Big Data analytics. It gives you the freedom
to query data on your own terms, using either serverless or dedicated resources at
scale.

3. Google BigQuery- is a fully managed enterprise data warehouse that lets you manage
and analyze your data with built-in features like machine learning, geospatial analysis,
and business intelligence.

4. Azure SQL Database- Azure SQL Database is a fully managed platform as a service (PaaS)
database engine that takes care of most database management tasks like upgrading,
patching, backups, and monitoring without the user having to do anything.

5. Snowflake- is a fully managed SaaS (software as a service) that offers a single platform
for data warehousing, data lakes, data engineering, data science, data application
development, and secure sharing and consumption of real-time/shared data. Snowflake
has built-in features like separating storage and compute, scalable compute on the fly,
data sharing, data cloning, and support for third-party tools to meet the needs of growing
businesses.

4. Purpose: Why are there CDW nowadays? What is its purpose, and where are they being
used at?
-CDW nowadays deliver faster and better insights because they are easier to access, can
be scaled up, and run better. It also gives real-time data from numerous sources, allowing
them to run better analytics quickly. It is also less expensive to scale a cloud data
warehouse because it doesn't require purchasing new hardware. Thus there is Cloud Data
Warehousing nowadays to make data analytics and access cost-effective, efficient, highly
reliable, and most of all secure.

- The purpose of Cloud Data Warehousing is to provide faster insights with the help of
powerful computing and deliver real-time cloud analytics. They are using data from
diverse sources much faster than an on-premises data warehouse allows users to access
more insights quickly.

-Cloud Data Warehousing is being used at businesses, companies, and enterprises where
they can store historical information that has been collected.
