  1. Data Mart is what is used by the BI applications to present reports to the end users. Data Mart is a scaled down version of the data warehouse that focuses on a particular subject area. In other words, it is a subset of an organizational data store, usually oriented to a specific business purpose or major data subject, that may be distributed to support business needs. layton east storage
