Components

Pentaho Analysis consists of the BI Server and the following client tools and add-ons:

• Schema Workbench
• Design Studio
• Pentaho Administration Console for Community Edition users, and Pentaho Enterprise Console for Enterprise Edition users.
• The Mondrian ROLAP engine
• Aggregation Designer

The BI Server can be built as a standalone WAR that can be deployed to an existing server, but it is typically bundled by Pentaho with the above-listed tools, plus the Apache Tomcat application server version 5.5, and the MySQL relational database version 5.0. This forms a self-contained, Web-based framework for managing and creating business intelligence solutions.
