Types of DWH systems

There are mainly 2 types of DWH systems.
                         I. EDW (Enterprise Data Warehouse):
                                          It contains the historical business data at the enterprise level to support the business needs of top management in the organization.
      -  Contains data drawn from multiple operational systems.
      -  Supports time- series and trend analysis across different business areas.
      -  Can be used to populate data marts.
-  Can be used for everyday and strategic decision making.
                             
                        II.  Data Marts:
                                       A data mart is a subset of an organizational data store, usually oriented to a specific purpose or major data subject, which may be distributed to support business needs.
     -   Subset of enterprise data warehouse.
     -   Organized around a single business process.
     -   May or may not contain aggregates.
     -   Less expensive and much smaller than a full blown corporate data warehouse.
