How to Transform a Data Warehouse to a Modern Data Estate

Do you have a traditional data warehouse (DW) and have been wondering how to strategically expand its functionality and upgrade its performance?  Expanding and upgrading your DW requires a proven technology platform designed to help you modernize your enterprise data infrastructure.

TimeXtender allows a traditionally built DW to easily and completely integrate into a modern, automated data-estate platform. This means that initial costs to build a modern data estate - for an organization with an existing DW - will be very economical and the time to transition will be high-speed. And when transitioning from a DW to a modern data estate with TimeXtender, the move occurs in a controlled and safe environment.

Here’s how it works:

1. You add an external connection to your existing data warehouse and extract the desired tables.
2. This process virtualizes your existing DW tables and includes them into the new database.
3. Then, as you rebuild and improve on these tables, you use TimeXtender’s automated ETL to convert these virtualized tables into custom tables.
4. TimeXtender’s functionality also allows users to seamlessly transition their existing traditional DW to an automated data estate platform with zero downtime.
