Prometheus: Data
built 613 days ago
The Prometheus BI server software comprises middle-tier servers and backend servers. Backend servers access the Prometheus BI data repository to run queries, build tables of statistical information, and return results and metadata. Middle-tier servers handle client connections, load-balance queries across multiple backend servers, and perform intelligent caching of queries and results. All query results are transferred in compressed format to minimise network traffic.
e-Learning at GW starts here icon Prometheus is based on a ColdFusion multi-tier application that allows it to leverage the power of standard application servers and database technologies to provide a scalable architecture. Licensed through a community source-code model, Prometheus allows partners to jointly modify and continuously develop the product.

As well as operating as a network client communicating with a Prometheus BI server, the Prometheus Desktop Client can ... operate in standalone mode when it reads its data directly from stored Prometheus data files. This means that Prometheus data can be copied onto a laptop for analysis away from the office with just a Desktop Client installed. Further, a Desktop Client performs well even when reading data directly from a CD-ROM.
This image is a shaded relief map of Prometheus, the inner F Ring Shepherd satellite of Saturn. It is the same map as the above image, but reprojected to the Simple Cylindrical projection. As with all maps, it is the cartographer's interpretation and not all features are necessarily certain given the limited data available. This interpretation stretches the data as far as is feasible.
