Lavastorm Desktop Professional
Ad-hoc Analytics and Reporting
Sometimes manual analytic techniques and general purpose tools are not enough to handle your complex business process requirements. You need a powerful, self-service solution delivering ad-hoc analytics that glean valuable insight from your data, to help drive strategy and solve business problems.
Lavastorm Desktop Professional (LDP) is a cost-effective stand-alone tool that empowers you to conduct ad-hoc analytics right from your desktop; freeing you from the dependency and limitations you face daily relying on other resources for your analytic requirements.
LDP is easy to use, offering a visual, discovery-driven environment that replaces lengthy code-based development efforts with rapid, interactive configuration.
Users who switched to LDP from their prior analytic methods commonly achieved 70%-90% reductions in the time-to-implement, and cut their analytic execution time in half.
Low cost flexibility – LDP enables you to gather and integrate your disparate data sources to form a holistic view, ensuring that you can see what you need to solve.
Rapid problem resolution – LDP enables you to leverage an iterative and repeatable analytic approach in a visual, discovery-driven environment to drive business decisions and take meaningful action.
Ease of use and control – InFlow reporting feature allows you to inspect your data incrementally as you develop your ad-hoc analytics, make changes and see immediate results in a visual environment to drive new analytics.
Features

Which product is right for you?
Trying to choose between the
enterprise edition Lavastorm Analytic Platform (LAP) and its single
user version, Lavastorm Desktop Professional (LDP)? While LDP and
LAP are essentially the same software with the same functionality,
certain capabilities are only available with the enterprise LAP,
including:
| Scalability | Collaboration | Extended Data Acquisition | Automated Controls
|
Where LDP is restricted by the processing power of the user’s laptop or PC (typically under 20 million records/day), LAP scales to analyze billions of records per day
| LAP enables users collaborate interactively on the design and configuration of their analytic graphs against a shared data set | LAP is required to utilize LDA (Lavastorm Data Acquisition Module) to acquire complex structured data such as ASN.1 and COBOL data | LAP supports the evolution from ad-hoc analytics to fully automated controls through ‘lights out’ scheduling analytic execution |
