Consider In-memory Databases and Cloud Computing In-Memory Database / Cloud Computing Approach The industrial use of databases is advancing to the point where modern and fast solutions are required in most industries. Plattner (2011) states that "Sub-second response time and real-time analytics are key requirements for applications that allow natural human computer interactions. We envision users of enterprise applications to interact with their software tools in such a natural way, just like any Internet user interacts with a web search engine today by refining search results on the fly when the initial results are not satisfying" (Plattner, 2011). Keeping up with the South River hospital and pharmacy 's growth requires keeping up with this database technology. Subsequent queries are the second, third, and so on, queries similar to when web users perform a search using their search engine, only to refine the specifics to remove results non sequitur from their intended query. A sub-second response from the database is needed to keep the users mind on the task at hand and to not wander off. As Plattner states: "Any interval sufficiently longer than the speed-of-thought interval will be detected as waiting time and the user 's mind starts wandering to other topics, which is a process that cannot be consciously controlled. How this affects our users be they clinical or pharmacy, is increased accuracy to healthcare through technological advancement. Plattner further states
The use of huge databases that combine all of a company 's data and allow users to access the data directly, create reports, and obtain responses to what-if questions is referred to as:
As I was reading “Memory and Imagination,” a memoir, written by Hampl, I could not stop keep making connections with another memoir that I previously read, “The Peril of Memory” by Ventura. The themes of both memoirs relate to recalling memory. Hampl talks about memory in terms of writing a memoir, and Ventura tells about how memory can change and affect the present. It was very interesting to see how two different authors have similar views and experiences of memory and how they grow with memory.
An active data warehousing, or ADW, is a data warehouse implementation that supports near-time or near-real-time decision making. It is featured by event-driven actions that are triggered by a continuous stream of queries that are generated by people or applications regarding an organization or company against a broad, deep granular set of enterprise data. Continental uses active data warehousing to keep track of their company’s daily progress and performance. Continental’s management team holds an operations meeting every morning to discuss how their
Target Corporation allocated large budget to upgrade information system as part of a roadmap to transform business (Target Roadmap, 2015). Once the upgrade is completed, it will provide a large amount of intelligent data for internal resources to support customers faster. It further tracks performance and controls accurately the timely information about daily operations in real time. The automated online and on-demand ad-hoc reports generate reports for each store any time as well retains records of products and services.
A Database Management System or (DBMS) is an essential tool for any organization or company in today’s modern world. A DBMS is “a group of programs that manipulate the database and provide an interface between the database and its users and other application programs” (Stair & Reynolds, 2011, p. 189). So in choosing the right DBMS there are many factoring issues with choosing the right one for the company or organization. When choosing a DBMS one has to think about how the system will ultimately help the company or organization with day to day processes and the goals of the company or organization.
One of the main functions of any business is to be able to use data to leverage a strategic competitive advantage. The use of relational databases is a necessity for contemporary organizations; however, data warehousing has become a strategic priority due to the enormous amounts of data that must be analyzed along with the varying sources from which data comes. Company gathers data by using Web analytics and operational systems, we must design a solution overview that incorporates data warehousing. The executive team needs to be clear about what data warehousing can provide the company.
This article explains the importance of getting the perfect amount of sleep at night. The idea that sleeping for less than five hours or more than nine hours proves to have a negative effect on the human body. Sleep deprivation has a closely related link to memory retention and can cause a person to have trouble with daily task. The author continues to explain that not only is the brain effected by too little or too much sleep, but the rest of the body is also effected. Conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and even depression have links to not getting the perfect amount of sleep. The article concludes with listing tips to get the ideal amount of sleep at night, such as, going to sleep and waking up at the same time every day and limiting the amount of caffeine that is consumed throughout the day.
New applications will utilize off-the-shelf software components that have been customized per Riordan’s specifications and further messaged to ensure that each application will integrate smoothly with all the others in order to create a single cohesive whole. Great effort will be made to ensure that the data structures used in each are consistent in order to simplify the creation of the enterprise’s database. To help facilitate this, we will create an umbrella application that will integrate each other system as a module. This umbrella application will be extendable as needed and will act as a single-launch point for the various systems utilized by Riordan. We will also be working closely with Riordan’s IT department to develop a bridge that will enable them to easily port their existing databases into the new one automatically.
This is one of the greatest challenge that is acting as a key barrier in widespread adoption and pervasive use of the tools fostering for development and progress in this field of study. The real time of the big data analytics would require some of the unique features and special computing powers and potentials (Gantz, 2012). Tools have to made specially advanced so as to incorporate process terms in real time (Chen, 2012). Every business oriented organization should be transformed into information centric (Kaisler, 2013) to focus upon the real time data analysis in terms of both input and output.
In 2009, the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) developed literature that outlined Data Warehousing and its impact within Healthcare Data Management. A study showed that companies who implemented a data warehouse had one consistent data store for reporting, forecasting, and analysis (HIMSS, 2009). Additionally, they had easier and more timely ways to access data, improved end-user productivity, improved IS productivity, reduced cost, scalability, flexibility, reliability, and an overall better competitive advantage (HIMSS, 2009).
ESL Inc. has tasked me with the project of finding a new database system that will better meet the needs of their growing customer base. ESL is a large company that has been using a series of spreadsheets and access databases, and manual records to track their business and they are currently looking for a better way to streamline the inner workings of their business. After evaluating their current system, it is apparent, that if a decision to move forward hadn’t taken place within the next few months, their current system would start to fail, as they are reaching capacity in memory used and bandwidth running the various individual instances of Access on their network.
This paper will compare and contrast five different database management systems on six criteria. The database management systems (DBMS) that will be discussed are SQL Server 2000, Access, MySQL, DB2, and Oracle. The criteria that will be compared are the systems’ functionality, the requirements that must be met to run the DBMS, the expansion capabilities – if it is able to expand to handle more data over time, the types of companies that typically use each one, the normal usage of the DBMS, and the costs associated with implementing the DBMS.
In 1977, Larry Ellison, Bob Miner, and Ed Oates founded System Development Laboratories. After being inspired by a research paper written in 1970 by an IBM researcher titled “A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks” they decided to build a new type of database called a relational database system. The original project on the relational database system was for the government (Central
Data has always been analyzed within companies and used to help benefit the future of businesses. However, the evolution of how the data stored, combined, analyzed and used to predict the pattern and tendencies of consumers has evolved as technology has seen numerous advancements throughout the past century. In the 1900s databases began as “computer hard disks” and in 1965, after many other discoveries including voice recognition, “the US Government plans the world’s first data center to store 742 million tax returns and 175 million sets of fingerprints on magnetic tape.” The evolution of data and how it evolved into forming large databases continues in 1991 when the internet began to pop up and “digital storage became more cost effective than paper. And with the constant increase of the data supplied digitally, Hadoop was created in 2005 and from that point forward there was “14.7 Exabytes of new information are produced this year" and this number is rapidly increasing with a lot of mobile devices the people in our society have today (Marr). The evolution of the internet and then the expansion of the number of mobile devices society has access to today led data to evolve and companies now need large central Database management systems in order to run an efficient and a successful business.
