“Sandbox” environment for business users to: Formally integrate data from other systems View data models that reflect how the business side sees the world (custom hierarchies, new groupings, friendly naming, calculations) Consume “temporal” or one-off data models Provides an ad-hoc experience optimized for end user query performance, trending and drill-down analysis Ad-hoc queries and frequent monitoring of KPIs will not load down the transactional database

Interactive dashboards in SharePoint Linked filters, scorecards, and analytics (keep everything in-context) Scorecards Aggregate disparate metrics on a single scorecard, or “balanced scorecard” Measure and monitor data from virtually any tabular (Excel, ODBC) or multi-dimensional data source (SSAS) Flexible, user-defined KPI targets, thresholds, and scoring Trend analysis

State Amount of time that monitors are in a particular state, and percent of total Performance Counters Average, minimum, and maximum performance counter values Standard deviation

Hierarchy and attributes for availability, health, and performance monitors • Top Level Group • • Type • • • Path • • • • Entity Name • • • • • Monitor Name

Hierarchy and attributes for entity performance counters (% free space, CPU, etc.) • Top Level Group • • Type • • • Path • • • • Object Name • • • • • Instance Name • • • • • • Counter Name

Monitor states, grouped by up/down time. Default monitor grouping may be re-configured with a T-SQL CASE statement.

• Up Down Key • • State Description

Calendar dates and hours of day, with separate attributes for time-folded analysis (values by hour for the past week, for example) • Date by Month (Year, Quarter, Month, Date) • Date by Week (Year, Week, Date) • Time (Hours, in 12 hour or 24 hour format)

A dimension that contains dynamic, time-based calculations • Month-to-date • Quarter-to-date • Year-to-date • Prior Period • Year-to-date, Prior Year • Percentage change
