Super-fast, Parallel, In-memory, Calculation Engine ("SPICE")
Built from the ground up for the cloud, Amazon QuickSight's Super-fast, Parallel, In-memory, Calculation Engine ("SPICE") uses a combination of columnar storage, in-memory technologies enabled through the latest hardware innovations, machine code generation, and data compression to allow users to run interactive queries on large datasets and get rapid responses. SPICE supports rich calculations that help customers derive valuable insights from their analysis without ever having to worry about provisioning or managing infrastructure. SPICE automatically replicates data for high availability and also enables QuickSight to scale to thousands of users who can all simultaneously perform fast interactive analysis across a wide variety of AWS data sources.
Sharing and Collaboration
Amazon QuickSight allows you to easily share business insights by packaging them up as interactive stories that you can share with others. Using the storyboard feature in Amazon QuickSight, you can combine visualizations into business dashboards, annotate them with comments and share in a secure manner with individuals or broad groups in your organization.
Native Access on Major Mobile Platforms
You can access your data on Amazon QuickSight using native applications for iPad, iPhone, Android phones and tablets. You also have control over the availability of analyses, stories and dashboards for offline viewing, and creating annotations in offline mode, to be reconciled when your device is reconnected to the Internet.
Smart Visualization
Amazon QuickSight comes with a built-in suggestion engine that provides you with recommended visualizations based on the properties of the underlying datasets. Suggestions serve as possible first- or next-steps of an analysis and removes the time-consuming task of interrogating and understanding the schema of your data. As you drill in to your data, Amazon QuickSight provides the most appropriate graph types to visualize your data using AutoGraph, a collection of algorithms that learn over time the best visualizations that match your analytical patterns.
