Technology
The software uses OLAP technology to enable business intelligence on the cloud and big data platforms.[4] In a report published by Forrester Research in 2016,[5] where they evaluated several native Hadoop business intelligence (BI) platforms on 22 parameters, Kyvos was referred to as a platform that gave new life to OLAP by bringing it to Hadoop. As per the report, Kyvos enables analysis on Hadoop based on OLAP schemas, aggregations, and predefined drill-down paths. It pre-calculates aggregates at multiple levels of dimensional hierarchies to improve query response times as compared to SQL-on-Hadoop platforms. Users can analyze data through the Kyvos visualization tool or by using other BI platforms.[5]
Kyvos was originally built for Hadoop and later on added support for Cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud [6] and Microsoft Azure.[7] Initially, it supported only MDX queries and integrated with data visualization tools such as Excel and Tableau.[8] In 2017, Kyvos 4.0 added support for SQL connectivity extending integration to other BI tools such as Business Objects, Cognos, MicroStrategy, Power BI and Qlik.[9]
In late 2018, Version 5 of the software was built specifically for the cloud with elastic OLAP to provide a cloud native way to scale up and down for changing data workloads.[10] [11]
With its 2020.2 release, Kyvos added support for Snowflake data warehouse.[12] The product was also made available on Microsoft Azure marketplace[13] and Amazon Web Services marketplace.[14]
