Performance The performance of a business intelligence

Application can be affected by two factors: data processing and data transfer from source to destination. Data processing has two layers: database and application. In a cloud model, both layers can even improve their performance compared to traditional installations. In the case of databases, the information is distributed on various virtual hard drives with the cloud service provider and thus work in parallel during data access. In the case of the application layer, thanks to the elasticity features of cloud computing, it is possible to quickly and easily provision more computing power, both processor and memory, depending on the workload of the business intelligence application.
The issue of performance during data transfer will be discussed later in the section on high volume data transmission.
Availability
One of the main mechanisms for maintaining high availability in applications, even Spain Mobile Database in on-premises environments, is hardware redundancy, both in active-active and active-passive formats. This scheme of course incurs higher costs for companies, since they have to invest in practically double the computing resources. In the case of the cloud, it is feasible to have the same type of redundancy but with lower costs, because as long as the passive environment is not used or one of the active environments is not used to its maximum capacity, there would be no need to pay for the time it is not in operation. In this way, it is possible to capitalize on hardware redundancy but with much less investment than would be required in an on-premises model. To achieve these savings, it is necessary to establish the appropriate configuration so that virtual machines are automatically provisioned before the application stops responding.
