Big Data Apps for the real World:

As the variety of data services within AWS continues to grow, customers have the ability to derive valuable insight from larger and larger volumes of data. To deliver meaningful value, complex analytic applications must be highly responsive to enable fast slicing, dicing, and drill-down, and must be able to extract data from very large, complex sources. MicroStrategy enables all users the ability to do this on your desktop, web, or on-the-go with your smartphone or tablet. MicroStrategy has partnered with Amazon Web Services and is now available on the AWS Marketplace. Learn how to leverage the benefits of Redshift, EMR and RDS with MicroStrategy and how we seamlessly connect to all data sources. We will discuss real world Big Data applications that current AWS customers are using MicroStrategy for, such as analyzing real time data. We will also discuss why our customers choose AWS as their infrastructure and how this increases their capacity to build and scale enterprise analytics solutions like never before. Join us to learn more about how to leverage the AWS data ecosystem with MicroStrategy's analytics platform.
