What are the most important factors to consider when evaluating a BI system's scalability?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Business intelligence (BI) systems are essential tools for data-driven decision making, but they also require careful planning and management to ensure they can handle the growing and changing needs of the organization. Scalability is the ability of a BI system to accommodate increasing data volumes, users, queries, and complexity without compromising performance, reliability, or functionality. In this article, we will discuss some of the most important factors to consider when evaluating a BI system's scalability.

1 Data architecture

The data architecture of a BI system refers to how the data is stored, organized, accessed, and processed. It includes the data sources, data integration, data warehouse, data marts, data models, and data quality. A scalable data architecture should be able to support diverse and dynamic data types, formats, and sources, as well as provide fast and consistent data access and delivery. It should also ensure data quality and integrity, and enable data governance and security.

When evaluating a Business Intelligence (BI) system's scalability, it's important to assess its ability to handle growing data volumes and increasing user demands without compromising performance. Scalability involves evaluating how well the BI system can expand to accommodate additional data sources, users, and processing requirements seamlessly. The system's architecture plays a pivotal role, with considerations for horizontal and vertical scaling, ensuring it can distribute workloads efficiently and add resources when needed. Finally, the cost implications of scaling, both in terms of hardware and software, should be carefully evaluated to ensure a cost-effective and sustainable solution.

Sua organiza??o pode ter dados em diversos bancos de dados diferentes. Podem ser uma combina??o de dados RDBMS e OLAP (processamento analítico on-line). Caso você tenha vários sistemas legados, eles também aumentariam a complexidade. A solu??o selecionada deve ser capaz de lidar com dados de todas essas fontes, combiná-los após a purifica??o e armazená-los em um data mart que será ent?o acessado para suas consultas. Além disso, você pode ter algumas extens?es de banco de dados proprietárias; a solu??o também deve atender a elas.

2 System architecture

The system architecture of a BI system refers to how the hardware, software, network, and cloud components are configured, deployed, and integrated. It includes the servers, storage, memory, processors, operating systems, databases, applications, middleware, and cloud services. A scalable system architecture should be able to leverage the optimal combination of on-premise, cloud, and hybrid solutions, as well as utilize parallel processing, load balancing, caching, and fault tolerance. It should also ensure system availability, reliability, and security.

3 User interface

The user interface of a BI system refers to how the users interact with the data and the system. It includes the dashboards, reports, charts, graphs, visualizations, filters, drill-downs, and alerts. A scalable user interface should be able to provide a user-friendly, intuitive, and responsive experience, as well as support various devices, browsers, and platforms. It should also enable user customization, collaboration, and feedback.

4 Analytical capabilities

The analytical capabilities of a BI system refer to how the data is transformed, analyzed, and interpreted. It includes the data mining, machine learning, artificial intelligence, predictive analytics, prescriptive analytics, and natural language processing. A scalable analytical capability should be able to handle complex and advanced analytics, as well as provide actionable insights and recommendations. It should also enable self-service analytics, real-time analytics, and embedded analytics.

Você poderia estar executando vários aplicativos diferentes e alguns deles produziriam seus próprios resultados e dados. Além disso, pode haver aplicativos grandes e complexos, como aplicativos ERP ou CRM, em execu??o na sua empresa. Cada uma dessas aplica??es deverá ser estudada caso a caso para determinar a facilidade (ou dificuldade) de integra??o de seus dados com a solu??o de BI que você planeja selecionar. Em alguns casos, talvez seja necessário alterar seus aplicativos ou escrever código de ponte para poder integrar a solu??o ao aplicativo. Lembre-se de que quanto menor número de patches ad hoc você usar, mais estável será sua solu??o final.

5 Business alignment

The business alignment of a BI system refers to how the system aligns with the business goals, strategies, processes, and culture. It includes the business requirements, business value, business impact, and business adoption. A scalable business alignment should be able to address the current and future business needs, as well as deliver measurable and meaningful business outcomes. It should also ensure business alignment, engagement, and satisfaction.

6 Scalability assessment

The scalability assessment of a BI system refers to how the system is evaluated and tested for its scalability. It includes the scalability metrics, benchmarks, indicators, and methods. A scalability assessment should be able to measure and monitor the system's performance, capacity, efficiency, and quality under various scenarios and conditions. It should also identify and resolve any scalability issues or bottlenecks.

à medida que sua empresa cresce, suas necessidades invariavelmente também crescer?o. A solu??o deve ser capaz de lidar com um grande número de usuários e conjuntos de dados maiores sem exigir adi??o frequente de hardware. Uma quest?o importante no ambiente atual é a mudan?a para a computa??o em nuvem. Mesmo que ainda n?o o tenha feito, prevejo que nos próximos dois a três anos, alguma parte da sua infra-estrutura de TI será baseada na nuvem. As organiza??es geralmente come?am com armazenamento e depois migram seus aplicativos e opera??es para a nuvem à medida que ganham mais confian?a. Como a mudan?a é quase inevitável, você deve antecipar isso agora.
