This article showcases how Informatica Cloud Data Integration supports implementation of 'Data Vault' models.
What is Data Vault Modeling?
Data Vault is a modeling method that is used to design Data Warehouses. DV mainly consists for three types of tables:
Is Data Vault same as Dimensional Modeling?
No, Data Vault and Dimensional Modeling (Star and Snowflake Schema) are different modeling methods used to design Data Warehouses.
What is Data Vault 2.0 or DV 2.0?
Data Vault 2.0 is the next iteration of Data Vault modeling with enhancements made in the modeling technique such as ‘Use of Hash Keys’ to support parallel loads.
Why chose Data Vault over Dimensional Modeling?
Data Vaults are known for flexibility and scalability. The way in which DV is designed provides for long-term historical data. It is known to be very flexible to add new sources to a DV model. Data Vaults are also known to be high performant and more usable by business users since it is modeled after the business domain.
Informatica Cloud Data Integration and Data Vault model
Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services makes it easy to develop Data Warehouses using the Data Vault model for the following reasons-
Sample DV Implementation in IICS
Below is a simple 'Data Vault' implementation built purely to illustrate how DV can be easily implemented using Informatica Cloud Data Integration. Example below involves customer and location information.
Step 1 – Loading Hub tables
Customer Hub
Location Hub
Step 2 – Loading Customer-Location Link table
Step 3 – Loading Satellite tables
Customer Satellite Table
Location Satellite Table
Optional - Orchestration of the loads in a Taskflow
