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.
