The Explosion of Data
Today a street stall in Mumbai can access more information than a US President could only a few decades ago.
The decisions we make during this period will frame the kind of world we’ll leave to our future generations.
We crave information the way we crave sex, down into the synapses of our brains.
During the first day of a baby’s life, the amount of data generated by humanity is equivalent to 70x the information contained in the Library of Congress.
Each of us now leaves a trail of digital exhaust, an infinite stream of phone records, texts, browser histories, gps data, and other information that will live on forever.
From the dawn of civilization until 2003, humankind generated 5 exabytes of data. Now we produce 5 exabytes every two days…and the pace is accelerating
The Human Face of Big Data

sources into a coherent information management infrastructure will outperform their industry peers financially by more than
20%”

Supports large datasets (millions of rows) that are compressed
Processing is done in memory based on the xVelocity (Vertipaq) engine
Datasets can be pulled from multiple sources and linked together
PowerPivot workbooks can be published to SharePoint
@tweetraw
Excel 2013 Enhancements PowerPivot is built in
Just enable as a COM Add-in Power View is also built in

Power View Simple, yet powerful visualization analysis and ad-
hoc reporting Designed for end users Works with two tabular model types

@tweetraw
Power View – important concepts Part of Reporting Services in SQL 2012, 2012 R2,
& 2014 It’s presentation ready at all times Reports are designed for the screen It’s fun because it’s smart and simple Requires a basic understanding of Pivot Tables Complements existing reporting capabilities

SSRS
@tweetraw
SQL Server Reporting Services “Comprehensive, server-based solution that enables the
creation, management, and delivery of both traditional, paper-oriented reports and interactive web-based reports.”

(SharePoint or native) Multiple tools can be used to author reports Supports “push-style” subscriptions
@tweetraw
What’s new with SSRS? Did I mention Power View? Integration with SharePoint is now done with a service
app Ability to run native and SharePoint integration side-by-
side All management is done through PowerShell or Configuration
Manager Open XML-based rendering of Word (.docx) and Excel
(.xlsx) Data alerts notify you when defined patterns are found Performance optimizations
