Tableau acquires HyPer

Tableau software has acquired HyPer, a high performance database system company. As part of the technology acquisition, Tableau will add key technical personnel and plans to establish a research and development center in Munich and expand its research into high performance computing. Tableau intends to incorporate the technology into its product set.
Tableau is business intelligence and Analytics Company, taking business data and helping companies make sense of it. The new HyPer database technology should provide a performance boost across Tableau products, Patrice Pelland. Among the capabilities, HyPer brings to Tableau include faster data analysis, regardless of the size of the data set, unifying the transactional and analysis systems, richer analytics capabilities and support for structured or semi-structured data, which is increasingly important when processing Big Data sets.

HyPer is a fast main-memory database system designed for simultaneous OLTP and OLAP processing. It also unifies transactions and analysis in a single system, and when coupled with Tableau will help customers take visual analytics closer to the transactional systems that underlie most business. HyPer grew out of a research project started in 2010 by professors in Munich.
