Technology
Ranet OLAP was developed from the ground up using Microsoft’s .NET application development framework. Ranet OLAP was written in C# using Microsoft Visual Studio as the integrated development environment.
Ranet OLAP is pure Silverlight and was written specifically for SQL Server Analysis Services with support for SQL Server. Ranet OLAP supports SQL Server 2005 and 2008.
Ranet OLAP is also flexible when it comes to accessing your data. Generating its own MDX code, Ranet.OLAP can display data from SQL Server Analysis Services cubes, whether these are MOLAP, ROLAP, or HOLAP cubes.
Ranet OLAP can also generate SQL queries that can drill back through SQL Server to the original source data in data marts, data warehouses, and operational systems like CRM and ERP.
Ranet OLAP accesses these various SQL Server data ources through the ADO object model.
To transmit data between a server and web application is used JSON (an acronym for JavaScript Object Notation pronounced) a lightweight text-based open standard designed for human-readable data interchange, serving as an alternative to XML. The JSON standard has no provision for data compression, interning of strings, or object references. In Ranet OLAP the JSON formatted data compressed, query result compressed tenfold.
