Science Analytics – look to use Project “Gemini”
When I first saw and heard details about Project “Gemini”, I was blown away by the technology and innovation created by SQL and Excel teams and that held up when I was able to test it out on my own. It will be especially useful for scientists that want to not only analyze large amounts of data in Excel, but also aggregate different datasets. This upcoming Excel 2010 add-in removes the storage limits of Excel by adding the in-memory database and brings the power of SQL Server and SQL Analysis Services into the hands of mere mortals. Scientists that utilize Excel for viewing/analyzing data will find this add-in extremely helpful.
