Hyper brings increased performance and scalability to analysis, making data more useful at all levels in more organizations than ever before." Hyper Hyper also helps customers scale their extracts for broad usage by leveraging the latest multi-core processor advancements and employing novel workload parallelization techniques.

"To that end, Hyper has the potential to be a strategic game changer for us. In addition to substantially improving the performance of our visuaizations we see an opportunity to reduce infrastructure costs by leveraging the Tableau Data Engine exclusively." Hyper has gone through extensive customer and internal validation including a seven-month pre-release program and nightly performance testing with 62,000 workbooks. Upgrading to Hyper is seamless; customers can simply upgrade to Tableau 10.5 and no data migration is needed. With Hyper, Tableau continues to give customers choice and flexibility in their data analysis, as they can choose how they want to connect to their data. Customers can leverage Tableau's hybrid architecture with live and extract options, as well as its portfolio of more than 65 connectors to more than 75 data sources. Tableau Server on Linux Tableau Server on Linux has been built from the ground up for easy deployment and management and includes support for CentOS, Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Oracle Linux distributions. IT teams can also control user authentication through LDAP, Active Directory, or local authentication. Making the migration to Tableau Server on Linux is simple via a backup and restore. Senior Consultant at Teknion Data Solutions, Bridget Cogley, recently shared her enthusiasm for Tableau Server on Linux: "I'm excited about the availability of Tableau Server on Linux for a couple of reasons. First, you're lowering the overall cost of ownership. Second, it creates openings for a developer population that often seeks greater control and security and truly makes Tableau Server platform agnostic." Viz in Tooltip This new addition also allows Tableau customers to streamline their dashboards and stories, seeing new insights within context, while also saving space and keeping designs clean by adding supplemental data into the tooltip. People will be able to tell two stories at once, with a tooltip enriching the dashboard with supporting data. Making Tableau dashboards even more interactive, new tooltips encourage curiosity and exploration from viewers, inviting people to learn more about the data in an engaged manner. "Viz in Tooltips is a gamer changer for on-the-fly analytics," said Andy Kriebel, Head Coach at The Information Lab Data School. "Instead of having to switch between views, the insights will be just a hover away. Bringing the insights into the flow of analysis will make decision making even faster!"
