Live Access addresses IT department concerns regarding data governance, cloud security, and analysis response times for large data sets. Using Live Access, Birst serves as a scalable ROLAP front-end, providing dashboarding, pixel-perfect banded report writing, and OLAP/pivot ad-hoc analysis on the data right behind your firewall. Live Access can connect in real-time to MS SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, MySQL and ODBC data sources. Queries and result sets are transferred securely via SSL.

Live Access can connect in real-time to MS SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, MySQL, ODBC and XMLA cube data sources.

Birst Live Access for XMLA cubes automatically generates the metadata needed to enable full querying of MS Analysis Services and Hyperion Essbase cubes. No data is extracted out of the cubes and replicated in the cloud. Birst sends MDX queries in real-time to the existing cubes. Using Birst’s data federation capabilities, cube-based data can be combined with other data sources for new types of analysis and reporting.
