Infobright's Brighthouse Provides Enterprise-Ready Analytic Data Warehouse
| Source: Infobright
TORONTO and CUPERTINO, CA--(Marketwire - January 23, 2008) - Infobright Inc., an innovative
analytic data warehouse provider, and MySQL AB, the developer of the
world's most popular open source database, today announced a multi-year
extension of their partnership agreement. Infobright is a MySQL Certified
Storage Engine partner. The combination of Infobright's Brighthouse and
MySQL provides organizations an analytic data warehouse that delivers
unprecedented scalability, performance and ease-of-use.
"Infobright plays a key role in enabling MySQL users to deploy a
leading-edge data warehouse solution," said Mark Burton, MySQL AB's
executive vice president of Sales, Channels and Alliances. "This extension
of the agreement allows our customers to deepen their MySQL relationship
and dramatically improve their ability to reach new levels of performance
for complex and ad-hoc queries -- while significantly reducing TCO."
The MySQL Certified Storage Engine Program enables third-party ISVs and
open source community developers to produce high-quality database engines
for the millions of MySQL database users worldwide. More information on the
program is available at http://solutions.mysql.com/engines.
With its Brighthouse solution, Infobright has radically altered data
warehouse design. Competitors' products require physical partitions and
indexing of data or the purchase of large hardware systems, which
ultimately leads to a less agile solution. Brighthouse patent-pending
Knowledge Grid technology automatically creates layers of "data about data"
for all columns, thereby eliminating the need for indexing or partitioning.
This flexibility enables organizations to resolve complex ad-hoc queries on
vast amounts of data, while allowing their business intelligence (BI)
infrastructures to grow and change along with the evolving needs of the
business world today.
"MySQL is great to work with from both a technical and business
perspective," said Miriam Tuerk, president & CEO of Infobright.
"Brighthouse and MySQL have enabled customers such as BlueLithium and Xerox
to bring a new level of business intelligence to their operations. In
addition, through our joint marketing activities and co-selling
relationship, we are able to take advantage of MySQL's reach into the
enterprise, and we are seeing lots of demand."
