1.1 Analysis Center Architecture

Analysis Center includes a number of software components that you can install on one computer or distribute across multiple computers. The following figure illustrates the Analysis Center architecture.

Data is copied from the source databases (AppManager repositories) to the Data Marts and from the Data Marts to the Data Warehouse. Admin Console enables you to perform administrative tasks on the Data Warehouse using the OLAP server and the Analysis Center Warehouse. Reporting Console connects to the Data Warehouse and OLAP through the Web Service to enable you to configure and run reports. The Operations Center Dashboard connects to the Web Service and enables you to view and manipulate the reports. The Data Extension connects with the Web Service to publish, print, and provide Web access to reports by using SQL Reporting Services. For more information about the data connections and data flow among the various Analysis Center components, see Understanding Data Connections and Flow in the NetIQ Analysis Center Administrator Guide.
