Answer 2

Hello there,

Hyperion Essbase is a Database where you can put data (like Oracle or MicroSoft SQL) but with some variants in the way it stores the data.

Essbase is a multidimensional database management system (MDBMS) that provides a multidimensional database platform upon which to build analytic applications, ie. those that are optimized for multiple serial queries, processed in realtime by users. Essbase, whose name derives from "Extended Spread Sheet database", was originally developed by "Arbor Software", which merged with "Hyperion Software" in 1998. It is currently available from Hyperion Solutions Corporation.

Many Hyperion products were renamed in 2005, giving Essbase an official name of Hyperion® System™ 9 BI+™ Analytic Services™, but the new name was largely ignored by practitioners. The Essbase brand was later returned to the official product name for marketing purposes, but the server software still carries the "Analytic Services" title.

Hyperion Essbase was named as one of the 10 most influential technology innovations of the last 10 years by Information Age magazine in its August 2005 issue. Hyperion Essbase was ranked in the top 10 along with Netscape, Blackberry, Google, virtualisation, Voice Over IP (VOIP), Linux, XML, the Pentium processor and ADSL. Writing in Information Age's 10th anniversary issue, editor Kenny MacIver said: "Hyperion Essbase was the multi-dimensional database technology that put online analytical processing on the business intelligence map. It has spurred the creation of scores of rival OLAP products – and billions of OLAP cubes"

Essbase, whose name derives from "Extended Spread Sheet database", was originally developed by "Arbor Software", which merged with "Hyperion Software" in 1998. It is currently available from Hyperion Solutions Corporation.

The term on-line analytical processing (OLAP), was initially crafted with the aim of establishing a way to communicate the benefits of this technology in contrast to that of relational database management systems (RDBMS). The fundamental difference was that this database technology was optimized for processing human queries rather than transactions. The results of this orientation was that MDBMS oriented their performance requirements around a different set of benchmarks (Analytic Performance Benchmark (APB-1)) than that of RDBMS (Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC)).
