  • Introduction to Flexmonster Accelerator

    Flexmonster Accelerator for Microsoft Analysis Services is a server-side proxy that speeds up the loading of data from an OLAP cube to Flexmonster Pivot.

    Flexmonster Accelerator works with:

    • Microsoft Analysis Services multidimensional cubes.
    • Microsoft Analysis Services tabular models.
    • Azure Analysis Services tabular models.

    Why use the Accelerator

    We created Flexmonster Accelerator as an alternative to XMLA, a standard protocol for communication between a client application and an OLAP cube. XMLA can be heavy and include excessive information, which requires a lot of time and memory to load and process the data.

    When the Accelerator is used, it sends requests with minimal required information directly to the OLAP cube. As a result:

    • Large multidimensional data is transferred from SSAS to Flexmonster Pivot faster.
    • The browser's resources are used more efficiently.
