When to use in-memory

In-memory analysis is a specific data warehousing solution that should
be used only in appropriate use
cases. It will not solve all of your data storage and reporting needs.
However, used effectively it add
significant benefit to BI projects.

The figure below illustrates that as data complexity and volumes grow
the appropriate solution for
handling them will change.

Where in-memory analysis excels is:

1. Departmental BI projects – few data sources, low level of data
transformations.

2. Rapid Integration for ISV’s – the ability to quickly integrate
reporting on top of an OLTP
application.

3. Short term BI analysis – through away analytical projects that need
rapid access to data in an
agile manner.

4. Data Source is slow – when the data source being accessed is slow
due to the complexity of the
schema being reported against.
