SwiftKnowledge’s patented Interactive Data Streaming™ (IDS) performance and scalability technology offers unique and innovative advantages over existing BI platform approaches. Traditional, disk-bound BI platforms lack speed and scalability, so users must wait for every query to be processed by the database in a consecutive manner. In-memory BI works at CPU speeds to answer queries exponentially faster than disk-bound BI, yet its web-based offerings are hindered by limited scalability since entire reports – and sometimes massive amounts of data – need to be transported over the network.
SwiftKnowledge IDS combines in-memory analytics with a proprietary, network-efficient data packet engine to enable large-scale, ad-hoc BI over the web. This "load on scroll" approach enables you to deliver report pages to users on demand as they scroll through or search results, meet aggressive service-level agreements (SLAs) in “web time,” and answer the queries of many concurrent users via the Internet within seconds – all without needing expensive BI server hardware clusters.
Component-Level Security™ – Greater Control
SwiftKnowledge’s patented Component-Level Security™ (CLS) delivers targeted content, features and functionality according to centrally-defined user profiles and roles, and secures data granularly down to the individual cell, for maximum control that’s easy to maintain. The technology maintains content access audit trails for regulatory compliance and supports multi-tenancy deployments for commercial BI SaaS applications.
