It is a Multidimensional cube that is built using OLAP databases. As event logs grow, data processing techniques need to become more efficient and highly scalable.Īn OLAP cube is a data structure that overcomes the limitations of relational databases by providing rapid analysis of data. The incredible growth of event data poses new challenges. They realize the need for utilizing increasing amounts of “Big Data” in order to compete with other organizations in terms of efficiency, speed and service. Organizations are usually posed with the challenge of turning data into valuable insights.
