Creating Large-Scale, Highly Available OLAP Sites |
This paper introduces various techniques for creating large-scale, highly avalable OLAP sites.
This paper introduces various techniques needed to create large-scale, highly available online analytical processing (OLAP) sites using Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 Analysis Services and Network Load Balancing in a Microsoft Windows® 2000 Advanced Server infrastructure. High availability refers to the ability of a multiple-server site to withstand hardware or software outages that may affect individual servers within a site. A large-scale site is a site that has hundreds of gigabytes (GB) of data, making normal file copy operations ineffective.
This paper provides step-by-step instructions that demonstrate how to build the servers and the supporting infrastructure for a reference site based on both thin-client and thick-client architectures. The architectures described are designed to:
• Protect the data of a multiple-server OLAP site and keep the site up and running during unplanned outages.
• Coordinate the allocation of processing resources during planned outages, such as data refreshes and complex extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) cycles.
• Solve many of the staging-to-production operational problems that can occur in large OLAP sites.
