xVelocity and DAX in Action - 14/05/2012
We are very proud to announce Chris Webb and Alberto Ferrari as speakers on the next SQLUG evening event. The two SSAS Maestros will present no less than 3 sessions on xVelocity, DAX in Action and Choosing between Tabular and Multidimensional.
Inside xVelocity (VertiPaq)
PowerPivot and BISM Tabular models in Analysis Services share a great columnar-based database engine called xVelocity in-memory analytics engine (VertiPaq). If you want to improve performance and optimise memory used, you have to understand some basic principles about how this engine works, how data is compressed, and how you can design a data model for better optimisation. Prepare yourself to change your mind. xVelocity optimisation techniques might seem counter intuitive and are absolutely different than OLAP and SQL ones!
DAX in Action
What is new in DAX and when it is better/faster than other existing languages? Does it makes the project development faster and cheaper? Discover the answer to these questions by looking at some real-world scenarios that will give you the elements to compare DAX with other languages such as SQL and MDX.
Choosing between Tabular and Multidimensional
You have a new project and you have to make an important decision upfront. Should you use Tabular or Multidimensional? It is not easy to answer, because sometime there is a clear choice, but most of the times both decisions might be correct, at least at the beginning. In this session we'll help you making an informed decision, correctly evaluating pros and cons of each one according to common scenarios, considering both short-term and long-term consequences of your choice.
