MicroStrategy Certifies Its Analytics Platform for Oracle Database In-Memory

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MicroStrategy^® Incorporated MSTR, a leading worldwide provider of enterprise software platforms, today announced that the MicroStrategy Analytics Platform™ version 9.4.1 is now certified to be compatible with, and optimized for, Oracle Database 12c with the Database In-Memory option.  MicroStrategy will be highlighting this integration at Oracle OpenWorld 2014, Moscone Center South Exhibition Hall, booth #2415.

The integration of the MicroStrategy Analytics Platform with Oracle Database In-Memory brings a number of benefits to joint customers:

• The in-memory column store allows improved performance for analytical queries powering MicroStrategy mobile apps.
• Easy to adopt — No application changes are required for existing MicroStrategy customers.

MicroStrategy works closely with Oracle's database development team to help ensure optimized connection points. MicroStrategy leverages the processing power of Oracle Database 12c in its Mobile Platform and enterprise analytics by pushing analytics to the database. 

Additionally, MicroStrategy Analytics Platform version 9.4.1 has achieved Oracle Database Ready, Oracle Exadata Ready, Oracle Exalogic Ready and Oracle SuperCluster Ready status through the Oracle PartnerNetwork (OPN). This achievement demonstrates that MicroStrategy fully supports the integration of MicroStrategy Analytics Platform version 9.4.1 with Oracle Database 12c, Oracle Exadata Database Machine, Oracle SuperCluster, and Oracle Exalogic Elastic Cloud to deliver speed, scalability and reliability to customers.

"Building on our twenty-plus year relationship with Oracle, we are delighted to collaborate with Oracle in the Beta program and are now optimized to deliver speeds at orders of magnitude faster processing than on existing applications," said Paul Zolfaghari, President, MicroStrategy Incorporated.  "Processes that used to take half a day, can now take 10 minutes, while analytics responses can take less than a second."

"Oracle Database In-Memory delivers on the promise of real-time analytics and takes applications to a whole new level of performance," said David Hicks, Vice President, Worldwide ISV and OEM Business Development, Oracle.
