Architecting a BI Solution - it's more than just the hardware

BI is complex, and it's difficult to manage, and that's just the way it is.

Actually, this isn't the case, IF you've designed your solution correctly.

Architecting and building a BI solution is about choosing the right hardware, fitting the hardware you have chosen (or have already) to the solution you need, and designing your processes correctly - ETL, deployment, and even data release are all important.

In this session, you will learn about several different architectures for different environments, from how to manage a single Dev/QA/Prod environment, to how to manage the increased complexity of a 4 environment system, with an in-depth discussion of the trade-offs.
