We are currently using SQL Server 2012 Standard Edition. SSAS does not support the processing of multiple partitions concurrently. SQL Server Enterprise Edition does support this.
I have two questions: 1. What is the term for the ability of SSAS to process multiple partitions at once? 2. Does the SQL Server BI Edition support this functionality.
Thanks in advance.
Parallel partition processing for Multidimensional models is available in SQL 2012 Analysis Services BI edition. I have a client on that version and editions and can confirm it does process in parallel.
