SSAS Tabular from the Trenches
In this session, we will share some of the hard lessons learned from the first large deployments in Analysis Services Tabular.
Microsoft released its new Tabular model of
Analysis Services almost three years ago. Even if it is relatively new for many
developers, we already used it in several production scenarios. In this
session, we will share some of the hard lessons learned from the first large
deployments in Tabular.
How do you handle billions of rows with
complex calculations? What tools do you use to benchmark and choose the right
hardware? Why throwing money on the hardware could be a bad idea? How do you
scale up performance on large databases? How do you make a very large database
fit in memory?
This session will be of most interest to BI
developers, especially those who are considering or starting to implement an
analytical solution in the tabular model.
