3 Tier Architecture

This document summarizes the 3-tier data warehouse architecture. The bottom tier is the data warehouse server which stores data extracted from backend tools and utilities. The middle tier is the OLAP server which can use either a ROLAP or MOLAP model. The top tier contains front-end client tools for querying, reporting, analysis and data mining. Backend tools are used to extract, clean, transform and load data into the warehouse and refresh updates from source systems. The metadata repository stores information about the warehouse structure, operations, algorithms, and performance.

3-TIER DATAWAREHOUSE
ARCHITECTURE

Data warehouse adopt a three tier architecture,


these are:-

1. Bottom Tier(Data warehouse server)


2. Middle Tier(OLAP server)

3. Top Tier(Front end tools).

2
BOTTOM TIER
 It is a warehouse database server
 Data is fed using Back end tools and utilities.
 Data extracted using programs called gateways
 It also contains Meta data repository.

3
MIDDLE TIER

The middle tier is an OLAP server that is typically implemented


using either
(1) a relational OLAP (ROLAP) model, that is, an extended
relational DBMS that maps operations on multidimensional
data to standard relational operations; or
(2) a multidimensional OLAP (MOLAP) model, that is, a special-
purpose server that directly implements multidimensional data
and operations.

4
TOP TIER
The top tier is a front-end client layer, which contains
query and reporting tools, analysis tools, and/or data
mining tools.

DATAWAREHOUSE BACK-END
TOOLS AND UTILITIES
Data warehouse systems use back-end tools and
utilities to populate and refresh their data . These
tools and utilities include the following functions:
 Data extraction, which typically gathers data from
multiple, heterogeneous, and external sources.
 Data cleaning, which detects errors in the data and
rectifies them when possible.
 Data transformation, which converts data from
legacy or host format to warehouse format
 Load, which sorts, summarizes, consolidates,
computes views, checks integrity, and builds indices
and partitions
 Refresh, which propagates the updates from the data 7
sources to the warehouse
META DATA REPOSITORY
It contains:-
 Structure of data warehouse

 Operational Metadata

 Algorithm used for summarization

 Data related to system performance

 Business Metadata
