MicroStrategy Intelligence Server™ is the industry's
most advanced, scalable secure and robust business intelligence server.
MicroStrategy Intelligence Server provides the core analytical processing
and job management for all reporting, analysis and monitoring applications.
Employing a Services-Oriented Architecture (SOA), MicroStrategy Intelligence
Server makes it easy to standardize on a single, open platform for all
your enterprise reporting and analysis needs through a number of access channels: Web browsers, Microsoft® Office, Desktop clients, and emails.
Most BI software specializes
in one type of application (such as ad hoc analysis, reporting, or cube
analysis), and as a result, many organizations own and maintain multiple
BI architectures to support all the applications their users require.
This fragmented model results in increased hardware, development and support
costs. Additionally, users deal with multiple interfaces and with multiple,
unlinked metadata repositories housing reports, analyses and business definitions.
MicroStrategy Intelligence Server has been architected from the ground
up to solve precisely these real world problems. It is the first and only
BI server to provide the full range of BI applications through a unified
metadata and a single integrated server running on Windows®,
UNIX®, or Linux®.
