Wayne's World....

In his Dec 2011 report, In-Memory Analysis: Delivering Insights at the Speed of Thought, Wayne Eckerson, Director of Research for Business Applications and Architecture at TechTarget, profiles the capabilities of next-generation BI tools with emphasis on visual analysis and in-memory processing. He examines the types of BI users and capabilities they need, including casual users, power users and IT administrators. It also examines BI architectures — how front-end tools interact with back-end servers and databases — to deliver those capabilities. The research is based on his knowledge of the BI market, interviews with BI practitioners, briefings with sponsors of this report, and a survey of 240 BI professionals (including yours truly).
