How much data the product can load?

Hello,
 
Thank you for reaching out to us.
 
Being a client-side component, Flexmonster relies on resources available to the browser, and this affects the loading time and the maximum size of the data that can be handled on every particular machine.
This means that the client computer's RAM determines how much data can be loaded at once, and CPU capabilities affect how much time is spent on the data analyzation.
 
In case the required data set appears to be too big for the specific machine and the browser of the user, our team kindly recommends considering using MS Analysis Server or Elasticsearch as a data source.
 
We would like to provide some explanations regarding the difference between MS Analysis Server & Elasticsearch and other data sources (e.g., CSV, JSON).
 
The key point is when the browser loads data:

• If the CSV data set is used, all data has to be loaded before the component starts displaying any report.
• In the case of using MS Analysis Server or Elasticsearch, Flexmonster can handle much larger data because not all data is loaded into the browser at once. Only the part of the data needed for the current representation in Flexmonster is sent to the client-side when using MS Analysis Server or Elasticsearch. Every time more data needs to be shown, a query is formed, and a different set of data is sent to Flexmonster. This way, memory is used in moderation.

 
More information about performance can be found within the following threads:

• Partial data loading in order to increase performance.
• Temporary assessment of data loading.

 
You are welcome to contact us in case additional questions occur.
 
Regards,
Illia
