Kognitio Pablo Selects Solutions from Simba Technologies

Looking to enable train-of-thought analytics on extreme data, Kognitio Pablo has selected Multi-Dimensional eXpressions (MDX) query language solution from Simba (News - Alert) technologies.

Pablo creates virtual OLAP cube environments on the fly, building on the heritage of Kognitio's WX2 analytic, in-memory, MPP database. Pablo creates an ad-hoc virtual cube that can be created in seconds and minutes rather than the usual hours taken by traditional database solutions by utilizing Simba's MDX protocol and a metadata layer. Significantly reducing latency and the total cost of ownership of using data, there are no delays or extra resources required to populate virtual cubes, since all information is accessible by Pablo at all times.

Simba's MDX query language solutions leverage Simba's pioneering SimbaProvider SDK technology to allow database vendors to offer standards-based, multi-dimensional Business Intelligence and Enterprise Performance Management data connectivity to their customers.

“We worked closely with Kognitio to fully leverage the power of its pioneering in-memory data processing technology when we collaborated on Pablo," said Amyn Rajan, Simba's CEO. "Simba's MDX query language technologies are widely deployed in industry and drive adoption of advancing industry data standards. By choosing Simba's commercially available MDX query language technology to build Pablo, Kognitio is best assured that its customers will always have the widest choice of multi-dimensional BI tools for analysis on big data.”

As organizations previously faced the challenge of creating and populating physical cubes, the recently launched Pablo is gaining traction within the financial services community. To ensure extremely fast, train-of-thought analytics by Kognitio customers on Big Data, the Simba MDX protocol fully leverages Kognitio's in-memory data processing technology. To query, analyze and report on their data, Kognitio customers are able to use the OLAP-based Business Intelligence (BI) tool of their choice.

Recently, the company announced the release of SimbaEngine ODBC SDK 8.1. SimbaEngine ODBC SDK enables quick and easy development of high-performance, custom ODBC, JDBC, OLE DB or ADO.NET data drivers that connect popular Business Intelligence (BI) tools like Microsoft Excel, SAP (News - Alert) BusinessObjects Crystal Reports and other ODBC-type applications to both SQL-enabled and non-SQL data stores.
