Pyramid Platform Deployment Options
The Pyramid Platform offers a high-scale, high-performance enterprise analytics solution with a flexible deployment architecture—including on-premises, private, public, and multi-cloud options—featuring a mini-services architecture and the PYRANA query engine to support millions of concurrent users via an ultra-performant, web-based, no-code client accessible on any device, ensuring secure, scalable, and governed self-service analytics with low total cost of ownership.
High-scale. High-performance. Deploy anywhere.
Enterprise analytics is more than pie-charts and fancy reports
Pyramid’s services architecture and the PYRANA query engine deliver a scale-up and out platform that can handle millions of concurrent users and their requests. With complete flexibility for on-premises or cloud deployments, the platform is designed to fully exploit elastic computing wherever it’s hosted. The ultra-performant web-based client experience can be accessed from any HTML5 browser on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices or embedded natively inside your own applications. With best-in-market self-service, a no-code user experience, and GenBI, Pyramid is designed to drive user adoption and smart operational workflows, delivering enterprise scale analytics and decision intelligence at a low total cost of ownership.

Deploy Anywhere
On-premises, private cloud, public cloud, multi cloud, any hyper-scale
Pyramid can be installed natively on Windows or Linux servers or as containers in Kubernetes and deployed anywhere. This flexibility lets you choose the hosting venue of your choice without compromise. Self-hosting without complex upgrade protocols ensures your confidential data has no avenue for exposure, while management and security of your analytics framework remain firmly in your control without massive admin overheads.
High scale services architecture
The mini-services architecture offers scalability and performance with maximum efficiency
Pyramid’s modern mini-services architecture is designed to scale up and out to meet any level of demand. Real containerized Kubernetes deployments extend this paradigm to an elastic model by auto-scaling the cluster up and down and responding dynamically and optimally to usage demands. This architecture means the platform can automatically adapt as the number of users or workloads change, providing predictable performance and response times whether the platform is under load or not.
Fastest direct querying on any data size
An ability to query any sized data stack in real-time with unparalleled analytic functionality and sophistication
Pyramid’s underlying query engine, PYRANA, boasts superior direct querying performance to bring real-time analysis on almost any SQL (or MDX) compliant data technology. Pyramid can consume your existing data estate immediately without needing to ingest, transplant, or restructure your data first. It includes a deep analytical function set to perform advanced, cross-dimensional, hierarchical, and semi-additive calculations.
Multi-tenant scalable workflows
Secure, simplified administration that reduces overheads
Pyramid’s built-in multitenancy framework allows separate tenants to coexist in a single instance of the platform. Tenants can be used to house different departments from the same organization or different customers within a single OEM instance. The built-in tenancy model makes it easy to onboard, manage, and secure multiple use cases in an organization or host multiple customers in the same instance, reducing overheads and simplifying workflows without reducing security.
Drive adoption with different user experiences
Customizable user experiences, from advanced to novice, mean one solution can satisfy everyone’s needs
Pyramid has five customizable user experiences, from advanced authoring for scientists, developers, and data workers, to point-and-click consumption for business and non-technical users. This allows wide deployment and brings the right experience for all user types. Each user experience has interactive no-code, self-service capabilities, coupled with deep AI and GenBI functionality. This extends to embedded content that can be injected into third-party applications and venues. Matching functionality to need and experience is central to driving adoption and usage through a single platform.
Modern, accessible UI for browsers, mobile, and embedding
Desktop-like functionality on any device. No installation required
Access to Pyramid is via a universal HTML5 web client that has a desktop-like feel and performance. This simplifies deployment and centralizes content and data governance. An ultra-light, embeddable client is also available, allowing contextualized analytics to be embedded into your own web applications. Embedding is key for delivering an OEM analytics solution where your customers can access your data assets from inside your own application.
The lowest total cost of ownership
A grand approach that drives the cost of delivering enterprise analytics down
The total cost of enterprise-grade analytics can be driven by issues such as:
- Hosting vendor lock-in and high switching costs
- Scalability requiring disproportionately larger resources
- Data lock-in with proprietary data stacks
- Running multiple single tenancy solutions
- Deploying different tools for different users
- Tools that are too hard to use, defeating self-service goals
- Desktop tools causing administrative overhead and incongruency between desktop and web deployment
Pyramid addresses each of these issues, resulting in a significantly lower total cost of ownership than other solutions.
