Indicators of exploding data volume - 1IT Analyst projections• IDC reports storage capacity growing 36%
year-over-year to 181.6 petabytes shipped during the second quarter of 2003
• Gartner Group IT infrastructure expenditure changes:– 1998 - 75% CPU, 25% storage– 2003 - 25% CPU, 75% storage

Data explosion issues
• Observations:– Loss of knowledge about available data– Highly visible impact of poor data
management practices– Sluggish response times
• Consequences:– Frustration– Irritation– Loss of productivity– Elongated cycle times
12
Solutions exist in all components of the work environment
Computing Infrastructure
Data Business Process
Software
13
Actions to tame the data explosionComputing Infrastructure
• Network:– WAN bandwidth -
fiber– LAN bandwidth -
gigabit Ethernet– architect with
redundant routing– sub-net– load balance
• Database:– performance
optimization– smart disk– link external and
internal datastores
• Hardware:– SAN/NAS– large memory– fail-over
14
Actions to tame the data explosionSoftware• Rationalize the application software set
• Explore/exploit EAI
• Set a multi-tier application architecture as the goal
• Favor PPDM-compliant application software
• Recognize that a single vendor strategy results in uneven application portfolio capability
15
Actions to tame the data explosionBusiness Process
• Confirm presence of common issues:– lack of data integration– gaps in the application portfolio– bumps in the business process – resistance to agreed business process– lapses in data quality– gaps in the computing infrastructure
• Address data and software issues to improve business process
• Improve process with collaboration
Procedures
Policies
Practices
16
Actions to tame the data explosionData - 1• Data Model:
– implement PPDM– contribute changes/ideas/extensions
• Data Exchange:– recognize that a monolithic datastore is
not achievable or necessary– utilize the XML transaction definitions
• Meta Data:– build a catalog/taxonomy– publish catalog contents widely
17
Actions to tame the data explosionData - 2• Data Management:
– implement data stewardship– reward staff for deleting unnecessary data
• Data Quality:– introduce common definitions of business
concepts through PPDM and PIDD– clean data to enhance integratability– implement PPDM data content
18
Conclusions
• Exploding data volumes are:– a consequence of responding to forces
acting on E&P companies– undermining business process
improvements
• PPDM deliverables form part of the solution
19
Recommendations
• Address weaknesses in:– computing infrastructure– software– business process– data
• Support relevant PPDM Association workgroups
• Implement PPDM deliverables
Preempt lossof
achievements
