Golf Solutions Designed at Barnham Broom Golf Club in Norfolk

 Many sports tend to be biassed towards one sex or another. For example, football is a sport dominated by men and does not become much more masculine than rugby! On the other side of the fence, netball definitely falls into the women's category. However, there are some sports that share gender gracefully, which appeal to both men and women. Reddit live streaming Golf is undoubtedly one of these sports and has no age limits. Spread across courses in the UK you will find some unlikely groups of people bound by their love for this great outdoor sport. Some will play every day, while others will only play on the weekends, perhaps as a way to relieve the stress of a difficult week at the office. No golfer tends to join a club and membership packages vary widely in price. Most golf clubs simply offer standard packages with the assumption that one size fits all and offers a bit of flexibility. However, some offer more realistic membership packages, considering how much you will be playing...

Dramatically speed up your Tableau visualizations with EXASOL

Tableau is one of the best Business Intelligence and Data Visualization software in the market today. Its game changing drag-and-drop, self-service experience is unparalleled and it is popularly used worldwide.

Tableau is highly optimized and works quite fast in many applications but in applications where you need to read large volumes of data, like hundreds of millions or billions of rows, it can get dramatically slow (yes there are some illustrations of Tableau with large datasets but they are very isolated, single report demos and in a real life dashboard things can get pretty slow if you need to reaf more than 100 million rows).

Tableau is aware of this problem so back in March 2016, they have purchased HyPer, a high performance database system initially developed as a research project at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Unfortunately, they did not release any plan for the availability of HyPer yet.

Luckily, there is already a solution out there, more established and powerful than HyPer. The solution is Exasol.

EXASOL analytic database management software is currently the fastest, in-memory analytic database in the world. Since 2008 EXASOL led the Transaction Processing Performance Council's TPC-H benchmark for analytical scenarios, in all data volume-based categories 100 GB, 300 GB, 1 TB, 3 TB, 10 TB, 30 TB and 100 TB.

If you are using Tableau’s great BI, reporting and visualization software to see and understand your data, but are struggling with performance, then you need EXASOL. Using EXASOL as the analytic engine to power your Tableau front-end tool means that you will be able to accelerate your reporting and visualizations dramatically.

You can see Exasol in action below. Note that, Tableau already has a native connection to Exasol.



Exasol does one thing and one thing extremely well. Its high-performance, in-memory, MPP database is specifically designed for in-memory analytics. Exasol analytic database achieves lightning-fast performance with linear scalability by combining in-memory technology, columnar compression and storage, and massively parallel processing.

Since 2014, EXASOL has maintained its position as the undisputed leader in TPC-H benchmarks.  From data volumes that range from 100GB right up to 100TB, EXASOL holds the number one position - by a significant margin - over other solutions, for both raw performance and price-performance.
Exasol also offers out-of-the-box support for R, Python, Java and Lua. EXASOL also allows you to integrate the analytics programming language of your choice and use it for in-database analytics. It can easily connect to your existing SQL-based BI, reporting and data integration tools via ODBC, JDBC, .NET as well as a JSON-based web socket API.

What is JEDOX?

Jedox is a Self Service Business Intelligence, Analytics and Performance Management platform developed by Jedox AG based in Freiburg im Breisgau/Germany. With a modular structure, JEDOX platform uses Microsoft Excel as its user interface on the one hand and a Jedox-specific spreadsheet on the other, both of which can be used in all common browsers. Jedox is unique in a sense that while most business intelligence solutions try to replace MS Excel based analysis and planning process entirely with their platform (and usually fails to do so because at one point things are exported to Excel), Jedox puts the powerful MS Excel sheet in the heart of their solution. By doing this they provide a familiar interface to users while enhancing business intelligence capabilities far beyond MS Excel. This is actually what JEDOX offers in a nutshell : Excel Plus.
