How will the Data Marts be set up?
Data Marts will be set up in the Service Center Web Farms. Data Marts are created typically for web applications; however they may also be used to provide data to a desktop application given adequate bandwidth. A data mart is typically a subset of data extracted from a data warehouse to meet a specific business need or application. They are established for the purpose of improved performance and to make it easier to use the data. An example might be an application that requires some but not all of the Soil Survey data. Data Marts are synced with the data warehouses so that when data is updated in the warehouse it is automatically updated in a mart.
