Announcing our first show and tell speakers:

AtScale – the business interface for Hadoop

AtScale is an advanced OLAP engine built from the ground up for Hadoop. Data analysts can create virtual cubes from the Hive catalog in minutes using the AtScale Design Center’s visual drag and drop tool running in a browser. No special clusters are required and data is never moved out of Hadoop. With AtScale, business users get interactive and multi-dimensional analysis capabilities, directly on Hadoop, at the speed-of-thought, using the tools they already know, own and love – from Microsoft Excel to Tableau Software to QlikView. Built by Big Data Veterans from Yahoo!, Google and Oracle, AtScale has enabled BI on Hadoop at major enterprises such as Amex, Comcast and Macy’s.

Presenter: Dr Nigel Geary, Product Evangelist with AtScale. Nigel has spent his entire career working with cubes and in 1991 was one of the original designers of Essbase, the first OLAP server that led Dr Ted Codd to first coin the term OLAP. Prior to joining AtScale Nigel was the founder of PrecisionPoint Software, creator of hyper-cubes for ERP systems, and was also a BI architect for the Data Lake Project at Centrica. Nigel has a PhD in engineering for polymer modelling from the University of Liverpool.
