Hello folks,
We are in the initial stages of designing/constructing
a Data Warehouse in order to deliver an integrated
information service to the University's staff
This will contain a wide range of the university's
data (Student records, Staff records , Inventory,
Physical Resources , Financial Records etc etc etc)
Our University has about 20000 students/3000 staff.
We already run a number of our production MIS systems
on Digital Alpha platforms built on CA-Ingres.
We are looking at Cognos Impromptu as a query tool.
I would like to hear from anyone who is/was involved in
a similar Warehouse construction. I am interested in
the sizing/configuration of the platform. What is the
configuration of your Warehouse Platform? What are the
issues you considered in sizing the machine? Why did
you choose DEC alpha ? Why did you choose some other
platform? Any further comments?
I will summarize. Thanks.
Regards
Paddy Croskery
