Sharing Sets of Data Among Reports: Intelligent Cubes

Intelligent Cubes are multi-dimensional cubes (sets of data) that allow you to use OLAP Services features on reports, as well as share sets of data among multiple reports. MicroStrategy Intelligent Cube Technology™ allows you to create these Intelligent Cubes, which operate within MicroStrategy Intelligence Server.

An Intelligent Cube is a set of data that can be shared as a single in-memory copy, among many different reports created by multiple users. Rather than returning data from the data warehouse for a single report, you can return sets of data from your data warehouse and save them directly to Intelligence Server memory. The reports accessing Intelligent Cubes can use all of the OLAP Services features for analysis and reporting purposes.
