Data security monitoring is resource-intensive. Production databases produce many transactions. Policy criteria defines the actions that must run quickly. Additionally, users must analyze and generate reports on the state of the database environment. All these tasks tax RAM, disk, and CPU. 

Guardium uses aggregators to offload reporting functions from collectors, which reduces the load on collector resources. Aggregators offload data from many collectors, which provides an overreaching view of the enterprise data environment.

This video introduces Guardium aggregators and the aggregation process.

Guardium receives and processes a great amount of data that can be used to generate a report. However, sifting through this data to generate a report can be resource intensive. 

Data marts extract data based on a report query, and store it in either a seperate table or a file. This helps reduce managed unit resources necessary to generate a report, preserves relevant data after an archive and purge, facilitates exporting data to other reporting tools, and helps with the creation of distributed reports.
