Data Warehouse Flavors

GaussDB(DWS) provides standard, hybrid, and stream data warehouses. The hybrid data warehouse supports the standalone deployment. For details about the differences between them, see Data Warehouse Types.

Standard Data Warehouse (DWS 2.0) Flavors

  • A standard data warehouse (DWS 2.0) using cloud disks can be elastically scaled, providing unlimited computing and storage capacity. For details, see Table 1.
  • A standard data warehouse (DWS 2.0) using local disks cannot be scaled up. You can only increase capacity by adding nodes. For details, see Table 2.

    Step indicates the interval for increasing or decreasing the disk size during cluster configuration change. You need to select a value based on the storage step of the corresponding flavor.

Hybrid Data Warehouse Flavors

  • A hybrid data warehouse can be deployed in cluster or standalone mode.
    • Cluster deployment: If the name of the selected node flavor contains h, the hybrid data warehouse can be deployed in cluster mode. You can deploy multiple nodes, scale nodes, and manage resource pools. For more information, see Table 5.
    • Standalone deployment: If the name of the selected node flavor contains h1, the hybrid data warehouse only supports standalone deployment, which does not provide HA capabilities. The storage cost can be reduced by half. A standalone data warehouse can be restored by the automatic reconstruction of ECS, and its data reliability is ensured by the EVS multi-copy mechanism. For more information, see Table 6. It is less expensive than other flavors and is a good choice for lightweight services.
