Title: Cloud based Active Archiving Solution for Databases



Abstract:



Cloud computing offers an exciting opportunity to bring on-demand 

applications to customers and is being used for delivering hosted 

services over the Internet and/or processing massive amount of data for 

business intelligence. In this talk, we will discuss the architecture of 

cloud computing, MapReduce, and Hadoop. We will then discuss how the 

cloud infrastructure can be used for data management services, how the 

massive amount of data can be processed over cloud for various business 

intelligence applications, and how the cloud can be used for 'Active' 

Data Archival for near real-time data access. We discuss various issues 

concerning the active archive system including schema modification, 

query federation, query optimization, access control and data 

provenance. Using TPC-DS benchmark data, we present evaluation results 

that shows the ability of our system to seamlessly query archive data 

along with data stored in the warehouse in order of minutes compared to 

hours required to move the data into the warehouse from traditional 

archival systems.
