In this presentation, Logitech presents their strategy on how organizations can become more agile and increase time-to-delivery. Logitech's cloud deployment of data virtualization has empowered their IT organization to redefine the way data services are produced and delivered for analytics.  This presentation is part of the Fast Data Strategy Conference, and you can watch the video here goo.gl/PkObRj.

Journey to Cloud
Cloud empowers IT organizations to redefine the way data services
are produced and delivered for Analytics.
 more scalable … can reconfigure larger cluster in an hour
 more efficient
‒ can turn off over the weekend
‒ can clone prod for UAT and drop when done
 more reliable
‒ AWS automatically does 90% of what our DBAs did

4. 4
Challenges of traditional warehouse
On Premises Data Warehouse could no longer be extended to
effectively address our evolving business needs:
 Growing too fast for Exadata
‒ smallest increase in any resource is a quarter rack
 Difficult to set up and tune performance
 Difficult to manage usage
‒ Resources usage over time
‒ Queries … impact of each team, process

DATA VIRTUALIZATION
 Business Layer
‒ Keep the business from trolling through the backend database
‒ Data Consistency through single object, multiple consumers
 Security thru Data Virtualization rather than every tool
‒ Hard to keep security in synch across multiple analytic tools
 Rapid Prototyping
‒ Add new data source in DV layer first
‒ Move to Redshift / Pentaho after virtual analytics are validated
