SAP VISUAL INTELLIGENCE FEATURES



VISUAL INTELLIGENCE FEATURES AND EVOLUTION


A new BI general need  about a fast data visualization that enables  interactive data visualization and self consumption is now covered by SAP with SAP VISUAL INTELLIGENCE.
Through  Visual Intelligence SAP aims to answer the growing demand for self-service data visualization in order to realize an analytic dashboard tool.
SAP Visual Intelligence was originally released during the May 2012 SAPPHIRE NOW event, and a new version, was released as Feature Pack 3 for BI BusinessObjects 4.
Concerning  power and complexity, SAP Visual Intelligence is positionated between the dashboards such as SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards (a.k.a Xcelsius) and SAP Zen, and the self-service web and mobile tools of SAP BusinessObjects Explorer. SAP Visual Intelligence is part of the SAP BusinessObjects Explorer family, but while BusinessObjects Explorer allows for data exploration and visualization via a web service or through a mobile app, SAP Visual Intelligence is a desktop application installed locally on a PC. Even tough Visual Intelligence shares the look and feel of the web and mobile BusinessObjects Explorer application, it allows  to create advanced visualizations and enables users to manipulate data and merge tables.

SAP has designed Visual Intelligence to be very fast. The initial release, 1.0, could only connect to SAP’s extremely fast in-memory HANA as a data source. The second one, 1.0.1, has expanded the data source options to local spreadsheet files such as those in CSV or Excel format.
At the moment Visual Intelligence is the vendor’s new desktop tool that allows HANA users to visually explore and manipulate data. The tool is positioned for power users, a key difference from the vendor’s lightweight, Web-based visual discovery tool Explorer.
Those who want to use SAP BusinessObjects Universes or traditional disk-based databases as data sources for Visual Intelligence will have to wait until later this year.
After little  training, analyst users are able to create a wide variety of visualizations, including geographical ones, without writing any lines of code.

SAP HANA Introduction

SAP HANA:The future of database technology The capacity of main memory in servers has continuously increased over the years, whereas prices have dramatically dropped. Today, a single enterprise class server can hold several  terabytes of main memory. At the same time, prices for server main memory dramatically  dropped over the last few decades. This increase in capacity and reduction in cost makes it a  viable approach to keep huge amounts of business data in memory. This section discusses  the benefits and challenges. In few words you can understand SAP HANA plus  analyzing this evaluation: Typical access speeds Disk     4,000,000 ns Memory         0.4 ns Speed   10,000,000 Falling prices move processing from Disk/SSD to In-Memory In-Memory Computing The elements of In-Memory computing are not new.
