Amazon Redshift Services

A data warehouse is important for a successful BI program. Data warehousing brings in data from various sources to a centralized, permanent storage space. Data warehousing increases scalability, improves performance and saves costs.

Amazon Redshift offers a fully managed, fault tolerant data warehousing solution that helps you to provision and handle all your data along with your existing BI tools. It delivers fast query performance. The best practice for loading Amazon Redshift is to use the COPY command, which loads data in parallel from Amazon S3, Amazon DynamoDB or an HDFS file system on Amazon EMR.
