Recognizing the growing tension between IT departments and enterprise users eager for more self-serve analytics tools, MicroStrategy has added heightened security and governance capabilities to the latest version of its namesake BI platform. Recognizing the growing tension between IT departments and enterprise users eager for more self-serve analytics tools, MicroStrategy has added heightened security and governance capabilities to the latest version of its namesake BI platform. MicroStrategy 10 Secure Enterprise, which arrives a full six years after version 9 of the platform, promises to combine enhanced business-intelligence functionality with data discovery, mobile analytics and enterprise-grade security. "The idea is to empower business users with strong self-service access to analytics but in way that's governed," said Paul Zolfaghari, the company's president. As easy-to-use analytics tools have become more commonly available, some organizations are experiencing problems associated with the lack of enterprise-level oversight, including data-quality issues, inconsistencies and data silos. MicroStrategy 10, unveiled Thursday, aims to combat such problems with new administrative controls. Unlike niche BI products that can yield siloed sets of results when used by individual users or teams, MicroStrategy 10 uses a common metadata framework and scalable enterprise backbone to ensure that there's always a "single version of the truth," he added. Revamped data-discovery tools in MicroStrategy 10 include enhanced exploration and visualization capabilities for both Mac OS and Windows. New built-in data-wrangling capabilities, for example, are designed to let users quickly prepare data for analysis without needing to use other tools. Focusing on big data, meanwhile, new native Hadoop access via Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) is designed to make it easier to analyze petabytes of multi-structured data. Improved in-memory performance in MicroStrategy 10 lets users put more data on parallel-partitioned in-memory cubes, so organizations can run faster queries across larger volumes of data. Also included in the new release are a completely redesigned HTML5 interface, a new Operations Manager for administrators, an employee-productivity app for managers, a smartphone app for user verification and enhanced platform security powered by biometric and multi-factor authentication. MicroStrategy 10 Secure Enterprise is now generally available; upgrades are included with current customers' maintenance contracts. The new MicroStrategy 10 Desktop stand-alone client for data discovery and visualization -- available on Mac and PC -- is priced at $600 per user.

A new type of non-volatile memory known as Nano-RAM (NRAM) -- it's based on carbon nanotube and sports DRAM speed -- is now being produced in seven fabrication plants in various parts of the world. According to Nantero, the company that invented NRAM, it also has more than a dozen corporate customers lined up to begin experimenting with the memory once it begins rolling off production lines. [ Learn to love Windows 8 -- let InfoWorld show you how to smooth out the rough patches of Microsoft's OS until the next version arrives. | Stay up on key Microsoft technologies with the Enterprise Windows blog and Microsoft newsletter. ] "So those fabs have been and are indeed producing large numbers of wafers and chips," said Greg Schmergel, CEO of Nantero. "They are sample chips/test chips in preparation for mass production, which requires the product designs to be completed." Schmergel said it will likely take a couple more years before NRAM drives begin rolling off production lines. The geometric construct of a carbon nanotube. "This is one of very few technologies that's moved beyond the research lab into high-volume manufacturing CMOS facilities," Greg Wong, principal analyst at Forward Insights, said in a statement. "NRAM's unique combination of high speed and high endurance has the potential to enable innovative products in a host of consumer and enterprise applications." NRAM has the potential to create memory that is vastly more dense that NAND flash, which is used to make thumb drives and solid-state drives today. The densest NAND flash process today is near 15 nanometers. NRAM can reach densities of below 5 nanometers, according to Schmergel. Over the past two years, Nantero has been able to reduce NRAM production costs 10-fold, making it compatible with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS), the standard used for making microprocessors and DRAM. One big advantage NRAM has over traditional NAND flash is its resistance to heat. It can withstand up to 300 degrees Celsius. Nantero claims its memory can last thousands of years at 85 degrees Celcius and has been tested at 300 degrees Celsius for 10 years. Not one bit of data was lost. An illustration of the NRAM cell (left) and photos taken of the carbon nanotube fabric with an electronmicroscop (right). Anpther advantage is that NRAM is being built using the DDR4 specification interface, so it could sport up to 3.2 billion data transfers per second or 2,400 Mbps -- more than twice as fast as NAND flash. Natively, however, the NRAM's read/write capability is thousands of times faster than NAND flash, Schmergel said; the bottleneck is the computer BUS interface. "Nanotube switch [states] in picoseconds -- going off to on and on to off," Schmergal said. A picosecond is one trillionth of a second. Carbon nanotubes are strong -- very strong. In fact, they're 50 times stronger than steel, and they're only 1/50,000th the size a human hair. Because of carbon nanotubes' strength, NRAM has far greater write endurance compared to NAND flash. The best NAND flash, with error correction code, can withstand about 100,000 erase-write cycles. According to Nantero, NRAM can withstand 1012 write cycles and 1015 read cycles -- an almost infinite number. "Heat and vibration also will not cause errors," Schmergel said.

According to Nantero, NRAM can withstand 1012 write cycles and 1015 read cycles -- an almost infinite number. "Heat and vibration also will not cause errors," Schmergel said. How NRAM worksCarbon nanotubes are grown from catalyst particles -- most commonly iron. NRAM is made up of an interlocking fabric matrix of carbon nanotubes that can either be touching or slightly separated. Each NRAM "cell" or transistor is made up the network of the carbon nanotubes that exist between two metal electrodes. The memory acts the same way as other resistive non-volatile RAM technologies. Carbon nanotubes that are not in contact with each other are in the high resistance state that represents the "off" or "0" state. When the carbon nanotube contact each other, they take on the low-resistance state of "on" or "1." An illustration showing the two states of NRAM, where one carbon nanotube is either touching another, creaing a low reisistance or "on" state; the other, where the tubes are not touching, creates a high resistance or "off" state. Over the past few months, Nantero has hired more than a dozen chip design engineers who are working to create high density circuits, including three dimensional or stacked designs for increased capacity. "If you're taking a gum stick, then your talking about many gigabytes of capacity -- terabytes in the [CENSORED]ure," Schmergel said. Nantero doesn't plan on producing its own NRAM drives, which will initially be marketed for purposes similar to solid-state drive (SSD) gum sticks or internal memory boards. But it will license its intellectual property to companies to develop their own product. Nantero's engineers are still in the process of creating chip designs for the memory wafers. Because of its resilience to heat, vibration and pressure, Nantero's carbon nanotube memory has caught the eye of aerospace giant Lockheed Martin and Schlumberger Ltd., the world's largest gas and oil exploration and drilling company; both companies are customers of Nantero. Nantero declined to name its other customers. "Clearly a company like [schlumberger] would have need of memory that could perform in environments with very high heat down in an oil well," Schmerge said. Founded in 2001, Nantero has to date generated $78.1 million in five rounds of funding, including a series E round for $31.5 million that it just closed. The company also announced that the former vice president of Intel's Flash Memory Group, Stefan Lai, has joined the company as a technical advisor. Lai co-invented the EPROM (erasable programmable read only memory) flash memory cell and led the Intel's phase change memory (PCM) development team. "Nantero's NRAM has unique attributes that make it the most promising candidate to be the almost ideal memory: the nonvolatility of Flash, and the speed and functionality of DRAM with lower cost," Lai said. Nantaro also announced that Yaw Wen Hu, a former executive vice president at Inotera Memories, has also come on board as a technical advisor. Inotera, a Taiwan-based partner of Micron, supplies nearly 10 percent of the world's 300mm DRAM silicon wafers at its two fabrication facilities. "The availability of memory technology that is extremely fast, can deliver terabits of storage capacity in the [CENSORED]ure and consumes very little power, has the potential to change the [CENSORED]ure of electronics," said Alan, Niebel, CEO of Webfeet Research. "After researching NRAM for over 12 years, WebFeet applauds Nantero for reducing manufacturing costs 10x in the last two years, making NRAM CMOS compatible and finally proving NRAM viability with commercial production capability from its licensees.
