Building a Scalable Data Warehouse with Data Vault 2.0

The Data Vault was invented by Dan Linstedt at the U.S. Department of Defense, and the standard has been successfully applied to data warehousing projects in organizations of various sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises. Due to its simplified design, which is inspired by nature, the Data Vault 2.0 standard helps avoid typical failures in data warehousing. "Building a Scalable Data Warehouse" covers everything you need to know to create a scalable data warehouse from start to finish, including an introduction to the Data Vault modeling technique that lays the groundwork for building a technical data warehouse layer. The book discusses how to incrementally build the data warehouse using the agile Data Vault 2.0 methodology. Additionally, readers will learn how to create the input layer (the staging layer) and the presentation layer (data mart) of the Data Vault 2.0 architecture.
