Data Warehouse Architecture


Generally a data warehouses adopts a three-tier architecture. Following are the three
tiers of the data warehouse architecture.
Bottom Tier - The bottom tier of the architecture is the data warehouse database
server. It is the relational database system. We use the back end tools and utilities to
feed data into the bottom tier. These back end tools and utilities perform the Extract,
Clean, Load, and refresh functions.
Middle Tier - In the middle tier, we have the OLAP Server that can be
implemented in either of the following ways.
a) By Relational OLAP (ROLAP), which is an extended relational database
management system. The ROLAP maps the operations on multidimensional data
to standard relational operations.
b) By Multidimensional OLAP (MOLAP) model, which directly implements the
multidimensional data and operations.
Top-Tier - This tier is the front-end client layer. This layer holds the query tools
and reporting tools, analysis tools and data mining tools.
The following diagram depicts the three-tier architecture of data warehouse:
