WebFOCUS BI and Big Data

Information Builders is jumping into the Big Data swimming pool with a new product offering called the "WebFOCUS Hyperstage." It has all the important industry buzzwords: in-memory data, columnar-oriented, self-managing, rapid deployment, and even "low cost."

Read more about Hyperstage in IBI's press release and on their website. It is sure to be one of the hot topics at Summit 2012 in Orlando in June.

Bob Newell, director for the product, will unveil the details in a special webinar on Thursday afternoon, the 16th of February, 2012.
