• Cognos BI reporting allows you to bring the data

from multiple databases into a single set of
reports. IBM Cognos provides wide range of
features as compared to other BI tools in the
market. You can create and schedule the reports
and complex report can be designed easily in the

3-Tier Architecture Cognos
• Cognos BI is considered to be a 3-tier architecture
layout. At the top, there is a Web Client or a Web
Server. The 2nd tier consists of a Web Application
Server. While the bottom tier consists of a Data
layer.
• These tiers are separated by firewalls and
communication between these tiers happens
using SOAP and HTTP protocols.
3-Tier Architecture Cognos
Tier-1 Web Clients
• The web client allows BI users to access TM1 data and interact with data in
any of the supported browsers. Tier 1 is responsible to manage the gateway
and is used for encryption and decryption of passwords, extract information
needed to submit a request to the BI server, authentication of server and to
pass the request to Cognos BI dispatcher for processing.
Tier-2 Web Application Server
• This tier hosts the Cognos BI server and its associated services. Application
server contains Application Tier Components, Content Manager and
Bootstrap service.
• Cognos TM1 Web Application Server runs on Java based Apache Tomcat
server. Using this tier, Microsoft Excel worksheets can be converted to TM1
Web sheets and also allows to export web sheets back to Excel and PDF
format.
Tier-3 Data
• This tier contains content and data sources. It contains TM1 Admin server
and at least one TM1 server.
• TM1 Admin server can be installed on any computer on your LAN and it
must reside on same network as TM1 server. The version of TM1 server
should be equal or most recent then the version of Cognos TM1 web.
IBM Cognos Analytics vs Other BI Reporting Tools
• Customization vs. Simplicity
Cognos presents extensive customization options for dashboards and reports. This makes it apt for
complicated requirements, while other BI tools such as Tableau, which gives priority to ease of use
with limited customization.
• Integration Capabilities
Cognos is exceptional at data integration and supports various data sources. As opposed to this, a
few BI tools may offer limited integration options.
• AI Features
Cognos is known for its integration of AI-driven insights. This is what sets it apart from different
traditional BI tools that usually showcase a lack of advanced AI capabilities.
• Deployment Flexibility
Cognos offers both on-premises as well as cloud deployment options. This in turn offers way more
flexibility as compared to some common BI tools that are primarily cloud-based.
• Governance & Security
Cognos holds a strong emphasis on data security and governance. Both these factors are thus
significantly more robust as compared to what's offered by many other BI tools.
