Advanced Analytics with Qlik | AditMicrosys

Nowadays, every business creates vast amounts of data. Whether it’s plain logs, usage statistics, or user data, businesses tend to store it.

But without proper analysis and usage, this data just occupies space (S3s, self-hosted Hadoop clusters, regular RDBMS, and so on) and resources (someone must maintain the servers; otherwise, the data is lost).

The ultimate goal is to try to make the data work for the benefit of the company.

In this article, We take look at the qlik view Platform, QlikView is an in-memory, one of the fastest evolving Business Intelligence (BI) and data visualization tool that helps organizations big and small in data discovery and data analysis. It is very fast to deploy, easy to learn and very intuitive to use for a customer. So, if you want to improve data visualization practices, then QlikView is the perfect tool to start with.

Additionally, QlikView can search and explore vast amounts of data and discovers deeper insights by building your own rich, guided analytics applications with a business-ready solution. It covers all aspects of your business and allows you to turn your data into easy to understand insights. To ensure a seamless flow of data between different systems, QlikView offers both default and custom data connectors and open database connectivity connections. The system’s open API ensure that QlikView can blend in literally every software ecosystem, and consequently eliminate the need to use several different systems to process data. To make matters even better, developers gave users the possibility to choose their preferred deployment method – they can use QlikView in cloud, buy a license for a desired number of tokens, or combine both methods.

An Overview of Cloud Computing | AditMicrosys

Cloud computing is a kind of outsourcing of computer programs. Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of compute power, database storage, applications, and other IT resources through a cloud services platform via the internet with pay-as-you-go pricing. Whether you run applications that share photos to millions of mobile users or deliver services that support the critical operations of your business, the cloud provides rapid access to flexible and low-cost IT resources. With cloud computing, you don’t need to make large up-front investments in hardware and spend a lot of time managing that hardware.

Simply put, cloud computing provides an easy way to access servers, storage, databases, and a broad set of application services over the Internet

Advantages of Cloud Computing:

Cloud computing is a big shift from the traditional way businesses think about IT resources. What is it about cloud computing? Why is cloud computing so popular? Here are 6 common reasons organizations are turning to cloud computing services:

Variable vs. Capital Expense:

Let’s begin with the ability to trade capital expense for variable operational expense. Instead of having to invest heavily in data centers and servers before knowing how you’re going to use them, you can pay only when you consume computing resources and pay only for how much you consume.

Economies of Scale:

Another advantage of cloud computing is that organizations benefit from massive economies of scale. By using cloud computing, you can achieve a lower variable cost than you would get on your own. Because usage from hundreds of thousands of customers is aggregated in the cloud, providers such as AWS can achieve higher economies of scale, which translates into lower prices.

Stop Guessing Capacity:

When you make a capacity decision prior to deploying an application, you often end up either sitting on expensive idle resources or dealing with limited capacity. With cloud computing, organizations can stop guessing about capacity requirements for the infrastructure necessary to meet their business needs. They can access as much or as little as they need and scale up or down as required with only a few minutes’ notice.

Increase Speed and Agility:

In a cloud computing environment, new IT resources are one click away, which allows organizations to reduce the time it takes to make those resources available to developers from weeks to just minutes. This results in a dramatic increase in speed and agility for the organization, because the cost and time it takes to experiment and develop is significantly lower.

Focus on Business Differentiators:

Another advantage of cloud computing is the ability to go global in minutes. Organizations can easily deploy their applications to multiple locations around the world with just a few clicks. This allows organizations to provide redundancy across the globe and to deliver lower latency and better experiences to their customers at minimal cost.
