High Performance and Scalability |
|
Narrowcast Server provides the technology that lets users' projects scale
beyond their current means. Narrowcast Server dynamically generates data
recipient lists based on sophisticated analysis, which ensures that alerts
go only to those team members who are impacted. |

requested the same report content and optimizes data distribution
by running a report once and sending it to all noted requestors.

distribute information to a massive number of recipients. This
functionality is vital in production reporting applications distributing
account statements or invoices.
- Powerful algorithms efficiently break down workload across clustered
hardware. This allows for a variety of hardware configurations
that best support your security, performance and reliability requirements.
- Scheduling automatic reports delivery during off-peak hours
can drive further production reporting efficiencies.

Breadth of Applications/Flexibility |

Narrowcast Server is as well suited to send complex and rich reports
to a few people as it is to distribute relatively small documents
to a large number of users. Content distribution is available via
all touchpoints -- email, printer, files, zero-footprint web, fax
and mobile devices. Personalized data is delivered in the format that
is requested, including HTML, XLS, PDF, CSV and XML. Users around
the world can select locale-specific personalized content, and Narrowcast
Server delivers messages displayed in the appropriate language, date
format, currency symbol, etc. The MicroStrategy platform's modular
structure makes it easy to add formatting or transmission capabilities
that extend Narrowcast Server's core functionality and help it integrate
seamlessly with other web sites or portals. |
