Abstract:
A system and method of scaling capacity of data warehouses to user-defined levels. The method includes provisioning a data warehouse including a plurality of processing resources, the plurality of processing resources including at least one processor and at least one storage device. The method includes receiving a request to process database data stored on a storage platform including a plurality of shared storage devices in association with the data warehouse, wherein the request indicates a performance level for processing the request. The method includes determining that a capacity of the plurality of processing resources of the data warehouse would reach a threshold capacity when processing the request according to the performance level. The method includes increasing the capacity of the data warehouse for the data warehouse to process the request according to the performance level.
