When I read some pentaho documents, I found some mention BI server, some mention BA server,
What is the difference between these two concepts?
They seem same, is it right?
Thanks
Pentaho supports both Enterprise and Community editions of their products. The Community edition is free and typically has a few less functions than their Enterprise editions, but at the application core they are the same.
The Enterprise edition of the BI server — meaning Business Intelligence — has recently been renamed the BA server — for Business Analytics. The Community edition still uses the BI server name.
The Pentaho website has a feature matrix that displays the differences at: http://www.pentaho.com/explore/packages/. However, this matrix is a lot less helpful than the one’s published in the past. You might need to dig further.
