Endeca for Information Discovery

•Oracle Endeca Information Discovery is Oracle’s “information discovery” platform•Allows business users to quickly analyze and understand all data, whatever it looks like•Search-first interface•Key-value store database•Unstructured data•Fast, intuitive analysisacross all data sources



Endeca for Information Discovery

•Oracle Endeca Information Discovery is Oracle’s “information discovery” platform•Allows business users to quickly analyze and understand all data, whatever it looks like•Search-first interface•Key-value store database•Unstructured data•Fast, intuitive analysisacross all data sources



The “Secret Sauce”: The Endeca Server

•Hybrid Search/Analytic database•In-memory store, with persistence to a column-store on-disk database•Search / text-analysis capabilities•Fast aggregation + calc•Accessed via Endeca Studio,and ETL via web service API

•Endeca Server hallmarks:‣Minimal upfront design‣Support for “jagged” data‣Administered via web service calls‣“No data left behind”‣“Load and Go”



How Endeca Is Usually Deployed

•Although Endeca Information Discovery is very user-focused, it’s infrastructure is complex

•Endeca Server, Endeca Integrator, Endeca Studio - all JEE apps on WebLogic Server‣Therefore usually deployed on-site‣Or as a SaaS managed service

• ... None of which are under the business’ control • ... and are often sized incorrectly at the start

Endeca on Exalytics: Business Benefits

•A dedicated business discovery appliance, under the control of the business‣But hosted by IT, managed as part of the enterprise

•All the h/w resources you’ll need, optimized for data discovery•Only dependency on IT is for initial configuration, and access to new data feeds

•Able to handle the largest workloads•Ability to scale-out later to include BI and OLAP, if required



Endeca on Exalytics: Integration with OBIEE

•Endeca can be integrated with OBIEE in several ways•Works better on Exalytics, as all components certified and upgraded in-sync•Use OBIEE as a structured data source for Endeca•Include Endeca visualizations in OBIEE dashboards•Simple add-on or Exalytics



Exalytics: The Ideal Hardware Platform for Endeca Server

•Endeca server abstracts query evaluation fromphysical processors, maximizing performance across multi-core processors and servers‣Scale increases, and latency decreases, the

more CPUs/cores available to Endeca Server•Server RAM used to cache “hot” working set of

column segments, and query results•Columnar compression used for disk persistence

of the data set, which also benefits from fast CPUduring the compression process

• Ideal Endeca environment = server with lots of RAM, and a lot of CPUs...



Exalytics: The Ideal Hardware Platform for Endeca Server

•2TB RAM on Exalytics server means fasteranalysis of larger datasets

•Larger datasets, as more records can beheld in memory (limiting factor for datastores)

•More query results can be cached•More concurrent users can be supported•40 CPU cores allows massively parallel queries•Endeca Server inherent PQ design automaticallymakes use of high number of cores

•Faster queries, faster indexing•Enterprise-scale Endeca, with the speed ofa desktop in-memory column-store query tool

Summary

•Endeca Information Discovery provides fast access to all of your data sets•Using a “search first” user interface, as simple to use as Google•Running Endeca on Exalytics provides a number of benefits

‣To the business: your own dedicated data discovery environment, sized correctly‣To IT: simple setup and configuration, guaranteed to work from the start

•Exalytics is the perfect hardware platform for Endeca‣2TB RAM: enables the largest datasets to go into memory‣40 CPU cores: supports the largest workload, maximizes parallel query of data

•Enables further integration with OBIEE and Essbase - complete BI platform
