Show answer
Correct Option: C

AI Explanation

To answer this question, we need to understand the purpose of each service/server and how they are typically used in a data environment:

Option A) SSAS (SQL Server Analysis Services) - This option is incorrect because SSAS is used for online analytical processing (OLAP), data mining, and business intelligence functionalities. It is not typically used for hosting staging data.

Option B) SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services) - This option is incorrect because SSIS is used for data integration, data transformation, and workflow tasks. While SSIS can be used to extract data from different sources and load it into a staging area, it is not specifically designed for hosting staging data.

Option C) SQL RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) - This option is correct because a SQL RDBMS, such as Microsoft SQL Server, is commonly used to host staging data. Staging data refers to a temporary storage area where data is prepared and transformed before being loaded into the final destination. SQL RDBMS provides the necessary tools and functionalities to store, manipulate, and manage data in a relational database structure, making it suitable for hosting staging data.

Option D) SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) - This option is incorrect because SSRS is used for creating, managing, and delivering reports. It is not specifically designed for hosting staging data.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option C) SQL RDBMS, as it is the most appropriate service/server for hosting staging data.

  4. Availability of data to all users

Show answer
Correct Option: A

AI Explanation

To answer this question, let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) Slow queries - This option is correct because one of the reasons for switching to a solution using Business Intelligence is to address slow queries. Business Intelligence tools can optimize query performance and provide faster access to data.

Option B) Disparate Data sources - This option is incorrect. While disparate data sources can be a challenge, it is not a specific reason for switching to a solution using Business Intelligence. Business Intelligence can help consolidate and analyze data from different sources, but it is not the primary reason for switching to such a solution.

Option C) Invalid / Inconsistent report data - This option is incorrect. Although Business Intelligence can help improve data quality and consistency, it is not the main reason for switching to a Business Intelligence solution.

Option D) Availability of data to all users - This option is incorrect. While Business Intelligence solutions can provide access to data for all users, it is not the primary reason for switching to such a solution.

The correct answer is A) Slow queries. This option is correct because one of the primary reasons for switching to a solution using Business Intelligence is to address slow queries and improve query performance.
