2 In-Memry analysis n 64-bit platfrms ushering in a new class f pwerful, affrdable and easy-t-use Business Intelligence slutins fr the masses In-Memry Analysis is pised t revlutinize the Business Intelligence (BI) industry as it becmes the predminate apprach. The BI industry is a majr fcus fr rganizatins making investments, and accrding t Gartner, demand fr fast queries against big datasets, cupled with lwer-priced 64-bit cmputing will increase the use f in-memry technlgy. The analyst firm expects that by 2012, 70% f Glbal 1000 rganizatins will lad detailed data int memry as the primary methd t ptimize BI applicatin perfrmance. When the BI space began t emerge 20 years ag, memry was expensive and prcessing speeds were slw. As such, entrants int the space were cnstrained in hw they might technically apprach s-called multidimensinal analysis. Specifically, they were frced t emply a precalculatin apprach that invlved the use f cubes t rganize and stre the results f these pre-calculatins. While the results appeared t the user t be instantaneus, the main challenge with this s-called n-line analytical prcessing (OLAP) apprach was arund the time and cst assciated with defining and redefining cubes. With Mre s Law having beat its relentless drum ver the past tw decades, tday s BI space is ripe fr an innvatin revlutin. Specifically, prcessing speeds are much greater, and memry is much mre affrdable. In particular, the mainstream availability f 64-bit cmputing has significantly increased the amunt f memry a cmputer can use. The cmbinatin f these advances nw allw fr new appraches, in terms f technical architecture, that alleviate sme f the shrt-cmings f the traditinal OLAP slutins. Tday, because f this technlgical evlutin, the s-called traditinal and standalne OLAP players such as Cgns, Business Objects, MicrStrategy, SAS and thers are facing a squeeze and, therefre, a threat t their services-heavy business mdels. Pressuring frm ne side are the large stack players wh are including BI slutins in their integrated fferings. Key stack players include IBM, SAP, Micrsft and Oracle. Pressuring frm the ther side are innvatrs, such as QlikTech, wh are taking full advantage f the latest in technlgy t ffer slutins that are mre pwerful, flexible and easy t use and that help users achieve value in a fractin f the time.
