Wrapping up our Oracle OpenWorld podcasts, Dr. Marcus Praetzas, the director of the Financial Data Warehouse at Deutsche Bank AG, discusses the challenges of data warehousing including the volume of data, the frequency of queries and performance needs. He also touches on the role of cloud computing in future data warehousing.

In this archive of an Oracle OpenWorld livecast, Kirby McCord, Infrastructure Architecture Lead at US Cellular, stops by to talk about speeding up database performance using SSDs and when it makes sense to implement. Using SSDs allows US Cellular to process queries that previously couldn’t be executed (like the number of calls made on a certain day in a certain location). He also discusses the possibility of using in-memory database solutions in the future.
