“Microsoft offers PowerPivot and

Power View in-memory data

analysis and discovery engine.

Think of this as Excel on steroids.

If you are already using Excel (and

who isn’t?) look no further for your

self-service BI platform”

“Not only is purchase price becoming an increasingly important factor in initial BI platform purchases, but the high cost of BI platforms is often perceived to be a significant inhibitor to broader deployment.”

– Rita Sallam, Gartner – BI Platform Licensing Models and Negotiating Strategies (April, 2010)

Case Study: Tesco.com

Klout uses Hadoop to capture and processes over 3 billion signals

a day and Klout sought out a solution that leverages Hadoop’s

scale and cost effectiveness while delivering “speed of thought”

ad hoc queries. The key was to create a multi-dimensional query

“index”, or cube, that sits in front of Hive and serves realtime, ad

hoc, “anything by anything” queries using the upcoming version

of Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services (code name “Denali”).

IMPACT ANALYSIS AND LINEAGE

• Project Barcelona (http://projectbarcelona.cloudapp.net) enterprise metadata and data

flow information available and consumable across the enterprise

• Foundation for tracking impact/lineage in SQL platform

• Query views in DependencyCatalog database to view dependency information which

was extracted for impact analysis and data linage

• Dependency Designer window in SQL Server Management Studio provides different

views that show how objects are related with regard to data lineage and impact

• Also access impact and data lineage information using

Microsoft.SqlServer.Dependencies.

Insights

VertiPaq

•In-memory column store

with typical 10x compression

•Brute force memory scans is

high performance by default,

and no tuning is required

•Basic paging support and

data volume mostly limited

to physical memory

MOLAP

•Disk based store with typical

3x compression

•Disk scans with in-memory

subcube caching, and

aggregation tuning required

•Extensive paging support

and data volumes can scale

to multiple terabytes

Direct Query

•Passes through DAX queries

and calculations to fully

exploit backend database

capabilities

•Differentiation feature for

Microsoft allowing any data

that does not fit into

memory to still be highly

performing for reporting

ROLAP

•Passes through fact table

requests and is not

recommended for large

dimension tables

•Supports most relational

data sources though no

support for aggregations

except with SQL Server
