[R] Develop, Scale and Deploy your analyses more easily with Spotfire S+ 8.2
Continuing our focus on providing the best commercial platform for creating and sharing statistical analyses, TIBCO is proud to announce the general availability of Spotfire S+ 8.2. This release focuses on helping our customers scale their analyses to solve larger analytic problems and to share and deploy their analyses more easily. The Spotfire S+ Product Family This release builds on the features of TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services 3.1 (formerly S+Server) to make it even easier to create S+ and R-powered analytic applications for deployment through TIBCO Spotfire. We have also released a new version of Spotfire Miner, which combines drag-and-drop analytic workflows with S+ scripts. Scaling to solve larger analytic problems Spotfire S+ now supports Windows 64-bit desktop platforms, and delivers much faster matrix operations for higher overall performance. The new Statistics Services view in the Eclipse-based Spotfire S+ Workbench provides a way to monitor the allocation and status of your Spotfire S+ and R analytic jobs run through Statistics Services, helping you utilize the resources of your cluster or grid as efficiently as possible. Easier, More Secure Deployment Spotfire S+ 8.1 introduced the ability to submit computationally-intensive scripts to a server. This release provides the ability to track and manage those jobs directly from within the Spotfire S+ Workbench. The new Statistics Services View also lets you deploy packages and data files easily and securely to a server from the Spotfire S+ Workbench. Updated Spotfire S+ Workbench The Spotfire S+ Workbench, our modern Eclipse-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for developing and debugging S+ code, has been updated to the latest version of the Eclipse framework to provide a seamless user experience between multiple platforms (Unix, Linux, and 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows). Focus on Customer Feedback Based on many customer requests, this release provides numerous improvements, including data access enhancements (such as the ability to import from specific sheets in an Excel workbook), improved consistency of colors and shapes between graphics devices, and support for Windows 7. Enhanced R Compatibility This version includes new functions (and new arguments to existing functions) to improve compatibility with R, making it easier to migrate packages from R to Spotfire S+ and simplifying writing scripts compatible with both Spotfire S+ and R.
