Live Access to the Delta Lake with Excel
Semantic Lakehouse for Business Intelligence
The Databricks Lakehouse combines the best elements of data lakes and data warehouses to deliver the reliability, strong governance, and performance of data warehouses with the openness, flexibility, and machine learning support of data lakes.
The AtScale Semantic Layer stands independent from consumption tools – centralizing governance and control while enabling de-centralized analytics consumption and data product creation.
Add Multidimensional Interface to the Databricks Lakehouse
Leverage native MDX connectivity for multi-dimensional analysis on live cloud data. AtScale emulates Microsoft SSAS in its Excel connectivity while connecting directly to the Databricks Lakehouse.
AtScale drives analytics workloads to Databricks SQL endpoints and clusters to deliver sub-second query performance by automating the creation and maintenance of aggregate tables in Delta Lake.
Organizations democratize access to the Delta Lake and enable business users to run PivotTables, Slicers, and CUBE functions directly on the Lakehouse using Excel.

AtScale helps Databricks customers build world-class BI and AI/ML programs while leveraging the full flexibility and capability of Databricks Lakehouse.
