TYSONS CORNER, Va., April 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- MicroStrategy^® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), a leading worldwide provider of enterprise software platforms, today announced  that the MicroStrategy Analytics Platform™ is now certified to be compatible with, and optimized for, ParStream's Real-time Database for Fast Data Analytics.

This collaboration enables MicroStrategy customers to visualize data interactively on extremely large data sets in real-time.  Along with being able to analyze historical data from previous days, months, or years, ParStream is also capable of simultaneously analyzing live data – data that is being imported in real-time. Such high-speed import and real-time query functionality is uncommon with many Big Data analytic solutions, but ParStream's columnar and distributed database was built from the ground up with this capability in mind – what is termed High Performance Compressed Index (HPCI). With ParStream, users are able to receive sub-second query results on billions of data records.

With this integration, business users can quickly and easily transform customer segmentation data, clickstream data, log data or operational data held in ParStream into visually insightful dashboards, reports, and data discovery applications. Companies can unlock actionable intelligence in real-time by using the MicroStrategy Analytics Platform's advanced data visualization capabilities, custom reporting, and interactive dashboards with ParStream.

"We are excited to be working with ParStream and bringing to market a solution that enables our joint customers to run extremely fast analytical results on their Big Data initiatives," said Paul Zolfaghari, President, MicroStrategy Incorporated.  "As more organizations look to leverage streaming data for real-time decision making, there is a greater need than ever for tighter integration between today's next-generation database vendors, like ParStream, and our Analytics Platform."

"In today's economy, data is constantly being generated and businesses must be able to analyze Fast Data – historical data as well as live, real-time data – in order to derive actionable intelligence to improve business processes and support decision-making," said Jorg Bienert, Co-founder and CTO at ParStream. "Through this certification, ParStream and MicroStrategy are expanding their ecosystem by helping enterprises of all sizes, including Fortune 500-sized companies, maximize the ROI of their big data initiatives."
