Overview: Large, in-memory datasets in MicroStrategy

MicroStrategy allows you to load large datasets into your Intelligence Server's memory as Intelligent Cubes, and divide the Intelligent Cubes into multiple segments. These segments, called partitions, are processed simultaneously, distributed across the processor cores of your Intelligence Server.

By storing your data in your Intelligence Server's memory and processing the data using all the server's processor cores, you can analyze large and complex datasets with very fast response times.

You divide your dataset based on an attribute, called a partition attribute. When you choose a partition attribute, all the tables that contain that attribute are partitioned.
