BDB Business Story-Visual Data Exploration
BDB Business Story: Interactive Visual Exploration at Big Data Scale
BDB Business Story combines a complete visual data exploration allegory with a unique architecture to be the industry’s first solution to deliver interactive data exploration at Big Data scale. It bridges the last mile between your Data Warehouse or Data Lake and Business Analysts.
The unique schema-less architecture frees the analysts from the complex data modeling, rigid multi-dimensional schemas, and pre-aggregation processing of traditional OLAP solutions allowing them to focus on what is essential – data and the process of extracting its real value from it for the business.
Unrestrained Data Exploration
The big data era demands limitless responses from data analysts to the ever-emerging data flux. They have an overall idea of where to explore, but the objective is to let the data lead you towards the right path. The ability of a data analyst to explore data are restricted by pre-defined schemas that could be incomprehensible while responding to a question.
BDB Business Story empowers the business data analysts to explore data at the speed of thoughts. The data analyst can slice the data using any attribute and value to explore data and see results with the dynamic searchbased index.
Visual Allegory
The emergence of desktop data discovery tools inspired the modern business analyst to work on data exploration for limited data volume. However, this symbol has not reached the big data world to speed up data exploration of the massive amounts of data inside the Big Data farm or Data Lake – until now.
BDB Business Story makes it easy to explore data in an entirely visual manner that any business analyst can use. Create graphs interactively, drill into the sections of data, add or adjust attributes or aggregations – with sub-second response time on millions or even billions of rows.

Quick Response
Older technologies have conventionally offered a batch-oriented processing model, requiring the analyst to wait and see the results of their data explorations. With BDB Business Story you get instantaneous response times exploring up to billions of records interactively. You do not have to wait for batch processes. BDB unique architecture optimizes data stores on which analyst can perform data exploration.
High Scale Data Drill to detail
Datasets inside of a big data farm are incredibly vast. However, it is essential to know the three dimensions to measure this size:
- Large – billions of rows
- Wide – hundreds of attributes and metrics
- Deep – large numbers of values for each attribute
BDB Business Story can work on billions of rows and hundreds of attributes with response times still in the seconds and continues to scale out the number of concurrent threads. Then, drill into any granular level of detail to find the exact set of data needed for the analysis at hand.
