Discusses the tension between governance and self-service analytics and how the Pyramid end to end analytics platform resolves this challenge with speed and efficiency.
High-scale.
High-performance.
Deploy anywhere.
Enterprise analytics is more than pie-charts and fancy reports
Pyramid’s services architecture and the PYRANA query engine deliver a scale-up and out platform that can handle millions of concurrent users and their requests. With complete flexibility for on-premises or cloud deployments, the platform is designed to fully exploit elastic computing wherever it’s hosted. The ultra-performant web-based client experience can be accessed from any HTML5 browser on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices or, embedded natively inside your own applications. With best-in-market self-service, a no-code user experience, and GenBI, Pyramid is designed to drive user adoption and smart operational workflows, delivering enterprise scale analytics and decision intelligence at an incredibly low total cost of ownership.

Deploy
Anywhere
On-premises, private cloud, public cloud, multi cloud, any hyper-scale
Pyramid can be installed natively on Windows or Linux servers or as containers in Kubernetes and deployed anywhere. This flexibility lets you choose the hosting venue of your choice without compromise. Self-hosting without complex upgrade protocols ensures your confidential data has no avenue for exposure, while management and security of your analytics framework remain firmly in your control without massive admin overheads
High scale
services architecture
The mini-services architecture offers scalability and performance with maximum efficiency
Pyramid’s modern mini-services architecture is designed to scale up and out to meet any level of demand. Real containerized Kubernetes deployments extend this paradigm to an elastic model by auto-scaling the cluster up and down and responding dynamically and optimally to usage demands. This architecture means the platform can automatically adapt as the number of users or workloads change, providing predictable performance and response times whether the platform is under load or not.
Fastest direct querying on any data size
An ability to query any sized data stack in real-time with unparalleled analytic functionality and sophistication
Pyramid’s underlying query engine, PYRANA, is a powerhouse, boasting superior DIRECT querying performance to bring real-time analysis on almost any SQL (or MDX) compliant data technology. It also means Pyramid can consume your existing data estate immediately without needing to ingest, transplant, or restructure your data first. Additionally, it includes an extremely deep analytical function set to perform advanced, cross-dimensional, hierarchical, and semi-additive calculations.
Multi-tenant scalable workflows
Secure, simplified administration that reduces overheads
Pyramid’s built-in multitenancy framework allows separate tenants to coexist in a single instance of the platform. Tenants can be used to house different departments from the same organization or different customers within a single OEM instance. Critically, the built-in tenancy model makes it very easy to onboard, manage, and secure multiple use cases in an organization or host multiple customers in the same instance: heavily reducing overheads and simplifying workflows, without reducing security.
Drive adoption with different user experiences
Customizable user experiences, from advanced to novice, mean one solution can satisfy everyone’s needs
Pyramid has five customizable user experiences, from advanced authoring for scientists, developers, and data workers, to point-and-click consumption for business and non-technical users. This means you can widely deploy the platform and bring the right experience for all user types. Each user experience has interactive no-code, self-service capabilities, coupled with deep AI and GenBI functionality. This extends to embedded content that can be injected into 3rd party applications and venues. Matching functionality to need and experience is a central mechanism to drive adoption and usage through a single platform.
Modern, accessible UI for browsers, mobile, and embedding
Desktop-like functionality on any device. No installation required
Access to Pyramid is via a universal HTML5 web client that has a desktop-like feel and desktop-like performance. This not only simplifies deployment but also centralizes and facilitates proper content and data governance. Separately, an ultra-light, embeddable client is available that lets you bring contextualized analytics to casual users by embedding content into your own web applications. Embedding is the cornerstone for delivering an OEM analytics solution where your customers can access your data assets from inside your own application.
The lowest total cost of ownership
A grand approach that drives the cost of delivering enterprise analytics down
The total cost of enterprise-grade analytics can be heavily driven by numerous issues:
- Hosting vendor lock in. High switching costs weaken negotiating positions.
- Scalability. Higher performance requires disproportionately larger resources.
- Data lock in. Forced to use proprietary data stacks.
- Running multiple single tenancy solutions. No built-in multi-tenancy.
- Deploying different tools for different users. No customization of functionality per user.
- Tools that are too hard to use, defeating self-service goals.
- Desktop tools. Administrative overhead and incongruency between desktop and web deployment.
Pyramid nails each of these issues. It’s no wonder it has a significantly lower TCO than other solutions.
