Yellowfin delivers Fast Deployment and even Faster Analytics

May 13, 2010 - PRLog -- Yellowfin, a leading Business Intelligence company announces the release of 5.0.  This milestone release incorporates features that will enable rapid deployment and analysis such as in-memory analysis and excel spreadsheets as a data source.  From a geo-spatial perspective, Yellowfin will also incorporate the ability for users to do advanced spatial filtering for location intelligence as well.  

The result is that Yellowfin is not only making Business Intelligence easy but fast as well.  With Yellowfin’s in-memory database queries will be lighting fast, and the ability to deploy even faster. Three simple steps are all that it takes to connect to your data source, map your data and then visualize.

Today's BI applications must efficiently access terabytes and even petabytes of data. Since most competing BI tools do not include performance acceleration engines, average BI application query response times often range from 10 seconds to one minute or more. Yellowfin’s

In-memory database has been setting some very fast times in its Beta testing, aiming to deliver up to 10x faster query response time at any data scale.

Its fair to say that the addition of in-memory technology is not a pioneering move for Yellowfin, as companies including QlikTech, Spotfire (now a part of TIBCO) and Applix TM1 (now a part of IBM Cognos) have had it for years. However Yellowfin’s integrated In-memory technology takes advantage of hardware-based memory and multi-core processors to turbo charge queries and ease data exploration while also eliminating IT data-prep work such as cube building.

At this year’s Gartner BI Summit, the business intelligence group advised enterprises to keep an eye on emerging BI technology areas. It is said that many of the executives attending this years Summit were intrigued by this proposed new world BI order, which includes:
   * In-memory analytics
   * Cloud-based services
   * Columnar databases
   * Interactive visualization reports
   * Mobile BI applications

Yellowfin 5.0 allows executives to tick off all items on the Gartner checklist that they would be looking for in a leading web-based solution and with Yellowfin 5.0 everything is integrated, seamlessly, there is no need to move between multiple applications. Not only does this provide end users with a greater experience but also it makes it cheaper to roll out in mass deployments, which Yellowfin specialises in.

Fast analysis, better insight and rapid deployment with minimal IT involvement. These are the leading benefits of in-memory analytics.  With Yellowfin 5.0, In-memory analytics delivers decision insight with the agility that businesses demand. It’s a win for business users, who gain self-service analysis capabilities, and for IT departments, which can spend far less time on query analysis, cube building, aggregate table design, and other time- consuming performance-tuning tasks.
