Abstract:
Example resource provisioning systems and methods are described. In one implementation, multiple processing resources are provided within a data warehouse. The processing resources include at least one processor and at least one storage device. At least one query to process database data is received. At least some of the processing resources may process the database data. When a processing capacity of the processing resources has reached a threshold processing capacity, the processing capacity is automatically scaled by adding at least one additional processor to the data warehouse.
