Companies are using real-time big data analytics to reshape the competitive landscape in their industries. They do it by capturing, storing, and analyzing volumes and varieties of data that were previously unmanageable, and then extracting insights fast enough to support real-time business processes. Intel and SAP have addressed deployment and integration challenges to provide an enterprise-ready solution for real-time big data analytics. With SAP HANA* running on the latest Intel® Xeon® processor E7 family and the Intel® Distribution for Apache Hadoop* software running on the latest Intel Xeon processor E5 family, businesses can ingest, store, and analyze petabytes of polystructured data, and they can generate insights in fractions of a second to support real-time business processes. This white paper discusses the value of performing real-time analytics using all available enterprise data and describes how Intel and SAP have overcome the inherent challenges to deliver an enterprise-ready solution.

Self-service business intelligence (BI) represents a paradigm shift in the way businesses use their data. By enabling end users to combine and analyze large amounts of data, self-service BI provides a pathway to better decision making across the enterprise. Yet effective decision making for core business processes often requires trusted reports that are best developed by centralized teams of experts who can validate data quality and deliver more sophisticated analyses and reports.

Self-service business intelligence (BI) represents a paradigm shift in the way businesses use their data. By enabling end users to combine and analyze large amounts of data, self-service BI provides a pathway to better decision making across the enterprise. Yet effective decision making for core business processes often requires trusted reports that are best developed by centralized teams of experts who can validate data quality and deliver more sophisticated analyses and reports.

This white paper explores the approach used by the Intel Technical Manufacturing Engineering organization to balance these very different requirements using a Microsoft BI solution stack based on SQL Server, SharePoint, and Excel. By integrating self-service BI with a centralized BI development model, the Intel TME BI team is creating a more flexible and efficient environment for supporting end-to-end information needs.

Databases lie at the heart of mission-critical business infrastructure. Data must be quickly accessible at all times to keep applications responsive, customers happy, revenue flowing, and users productive. Yet database service levels are increasingly difficult to maintain as the velocity, variety, and volume of data continues to grow at unprecedented rates. Many businesses are finding that traditional mainframe and UNIX/RISC architectures are too costly and inflexible to keep pace with growing… Show more

Databases lie at the heart of mission-critical business infrastructure. Data must be quickly accessible at all times to keep applications responsive, customers happy, revenue flowing, and users productive. Yet database service levels are increasingly difficult to maintain as the velocity, variety, and volume of data continues to grow at unprecedented rates. Many businesses are finding that traditional mainframe and UNIX/RISC architectures are too costly and inflexible to keep pace with growing requirements. They need more scalable and adaptable database solutions and better cost models. They also need to maintain the highest levels of performance and availability. Microsoft SQL Server 2012, Windows Server 2012, and servers based on the Intel® Xeon® processor E7 family offer a solution to these growing challenges: an enterprise-class database management platform designed to support mission-critical requirements at lower cost and with greater flexibility than traditional, proprietary solutions.
