MicroStrategy OLAP Services is an extension of MicroStrategy Intelligence Server that provides MicroStrategy Desktop, MicroStrategy Office and MicroStrategy Web users with faster and more extensive analytics as part of In-Memory BI.
Higher performance at any scale Reduced workload on every part of the system: Less database query time: more users share the same query results in an Intelligent Cube Less MicroStrategy Intelligence Server query time: more users share the same query results in an Intelligent Cube Developer Transparency: new reports hit the fast new Intelligent Cubes automatically, no special direction, no hard coded links User Transparency: users can navigate their entire analytical workflow faster using cubes automatically whenever possible Easy Cube development: two clicks to make a cube from an existing highly used report Familiar Cube Development Interface: leverages the Report Editor interface in MicroStrategy Desktop Optimized Memory Use: with a new Intelligent Cube Monitor and Cube Advisor Create, Save, Reuse, and Share Derived Elements over a zero-footprint Web interface
3. What are some of the use cases or Business Scenarios that would benefit from MicroStrategy OLAP Services?
Large numbers of people use the same report Multiple Dashboards use the same Intelligent Cube as a dataset Many different derived analytics should be created on the same report Make slow data sources appear to run much faster Save database cycles by needing many fewer jobs Save database cycles by needing many fewer rows Make the most important reports for the Executives faster Make the most complex and long SQL requests run against a cube
Dynamic Sourcing is the process of automatically selecting to use an Intelligent Cube for data, rather than querying the database.
14. Do OLAP reports stay the same or do they become Intelligent Cube Reports?
OLAP Reports stay the same, but using Dynamic Sourcing they can retrieve data from the Intelligent Cubes automatically.
16. How can we automatically re-point all of the existing reports to go against the Intelligent Cube, instead of the database?
It is not necessary to re-point existing reports to go against Intelligent Cubes. Reports will hit the cubes automatically using Dynamic Sourcing.
