Essbase - Block storage

Essbase Overview

About

Block Storage databases are optimized for data set that are partially denses. Data is stored in dense data blocks which are indexed along sparse dimension for retrieval.

This storage paradigm enables you to perform :

  • top-down budgeting and planning
  • in addition to sophisticated pre-aggregation calculations
