A cloud data warehouse is a repository that stores current and historical information collected over time. It is designed in such a way that it can give a long-range view of data over time, thus making it a core component of business intelligence. It is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) that allows SQL-like similar queries to be run on the information it contains.
A cloud data warehouse delivers swiftness and agility, provides us the value in minutes rather than in months, and can be easily scaled up or down as per the requirements.
