The high performance gives you more time to consolidate developed hypotheses through further analyses and thus increase the quality of your results.

Completely new analyses offer competitive edge

Our customers confirm that EXASolution lets them perform analyses that were not imaginable before. At any time, you can tailor the range of analyses to suit your needs. You get a solid foundation for your decision-making and new insights that give you an edge against your competition. 

Low IT investments

EXASolution works with inexpensive standard hardware. With special data distribution algorithms, EXASolution achieves such high data throughput that you have no need for expensive storage (SAN). You can smoothly integrate EXASolution in your existing IT infrastructure using standard interfaces, while continuing to use your currently employed business intelligence tools.

Long-term planning certainty

As your data volumes, analysis requirements or the number of analysis evaluations grow, EXASolution can be easily and inexpensively expanded at any time with standard hardware. This assures you long-term planning certainty.

At a glance:

• Immediately available results
• Better project planning and control
• Optimum quality of results
• More in-depth data analyses
• Endless evaluation options

Data analyses in real time

Finally the results of your analyses are available immediately – based on data collected in real time. Now, for example, you can optimise complex logistics processes or address your customers in an even more personalised way with your CRM.

Many additional complex analyses are possible

As an expert in marketing, controlling, sales or purchasing, you have a growing need for complex evaluations of your sales figures and a high-quality business intelligence. For the first time, EXASolution allows you to perform analyses directly on the original data collected in the data warehouse, so analyses are now possible that were previously inconceivable.

Optimum quality of results

Your analysis results are only as good as your data. EXASolution's high performance allows for extensive data evaluation before any analysis is attempted and gives you, the expert, more time to back up the hypotheses developed interactively with the data warehouse with additional analyses.

Respond faster without changing your IT

EXASolution is a self-learning system. It adapts automatically to the usage profiles in the analyst departments. Time-consuming tuning by IT departments becomes unnecessary. As an analyst in a specialised department, you can plan your analyses based on their functional requirements without worrying about restrictions imposed by IT.

Continued use of existing systems

The software you are currently using and already familiar with won't change. The only thing that will change is the speed and variety of your analyses. EXASolution has standard interfaces to popular software, so you can switch databases to your advantage!

At a glance:

• Lower IT costs
• Better performance on standard hardware
• More free resources
• Satisfied colleagues with more options
• No more hardware tuning

Intelligent software rather than expensive hardware.

Data analyses for business intelligence evaluations are based on complex database operations like multiple joins, table scans, data aggregations and sort operations on large data volumes. The resulting requirements mean that conventional databases typically hit performance limits, while optimisation leads to enormous investments in terms of time, money and personnel in the IT department. EXASolution breaks through these performance barriers with a unique combination of in-memory cluster technology and innovative compression algorithms.

Data consolidation and complexity reduction

EXASolution consolidates your business-relevant, fine-grained data in one data warehouse. The optimal support for complex usage profiles opens your data to company-wide use.

Optimum performance without manual tuning

EXASolution eliminates time-consuming manual tuning of the data warehouse. The EXASolution Optimizer analyses data and queries and automatically adjusts them without the intervention of the database administrator. The intelligent EXASolution algorithms distribute the data autonomously within a cluster and perform necessary optimisations on the fly. Based on query analysis, the system also creates and administers indices automatically. Data modelling is also simplified, because EXASolution's high performance is independent of the chosen schema design.

Reduced IT costs

Not only is the considerably lower administration effort a significant relief for your IT budget, so is the use of inexpensive standard hardware. Furthermore, thanks to highly adaptive data distribution algorithms, EXASolution achieves such high data throughput that there is no need for expensive storage (SAN). As your data volumes, analysis requirements or the number of analyses grow, the cluster can be easily expanded with affordable standard servers.

High level of satisfaction with the IT solution

EXASolution has a series of standard interfaces (ANSI SQL 2008,
ODBC 2.5/3.0/3.5, JDBC 1.0/2.0/3.0, ADO.NET 2.0, MDX (XMLA)) that enable smooth integration into your existing system landscape. Users can continue to use their existing frontends, which means no changes for data warehouse users and increased acceptance of the IT solutions in the analyst departments.

Fast track to fulfilled requirements

Feedback and feature requests from analyst and IT departments are welcomed by the EXASOL support team and integrated in the future development of the software. Expert contacts are available to you in the EXASOL support team.
