The announcement comes as Hyperion puts the finishing touches onto new 64-bit versions of its System 9 Essbase Analytics and Enterprise Analytics software designed for AMD64 Windows.
Hyperion said in a statement that customers running BI and PM applications on Windows will realize dramatic productivity improvements.
Tests show a 50% reduction in processing time for some Enterprise Analytics file loads when moving from current 32-bit processors to 64-bit processors, the Santa Clara, California-based company said.
Joint Hyperion and AMD customers will benefit from the 32-bit and 64-bit compatibility of Opteron processors, allowing them to run a mix of AMD processors across various analytic components of the System 9 platform.
