Infobright Data Warehouse

Infobright provides a modern data warehousing solution for MySQL users that combines MySQL's hallmark ease-of-use with support for terabyte-sized data volumes on a single server. With Infobright, no data warehousing expertise is required to build and manage databases that deliver rapid response times for analytic and business intelligence applications.

Infobright supplies the following features and benefits:

Column-Oriented Database Architecture

• Ideal architecture for analytic data warehousing and servicing ad-hoc, unpredictable queries
• Much more efficient than row-based solutions as full table/row scans are rarely, if ever, performed, with the end result being less I/O and faster response times

Industry Leading Compression

• Provides very high data compression, resulting in saved storage costs and reduced physical I/O, which increases overall performance
• Achieves compression levels ranging from 10:1 to 40:1

High Scalability; Superior Performance

• Designed for terabyte-sized data warehouses
• Outstanding query performance for complex queries
• Load time and query performance remain constant as the database grows

Self-Managing

• Load-and-go using existing schema
• No materialized views, data partitioning, or indexes required
• Unique "Knowledge Grid" that works with Infobright's optimizer to determine SQL access paths
• No tuning or manual intervention: automatically maintains all Knowledge Grid structures across every column in the database

High-Speed Data Loading

• Parallel load utility delivers up to 280GB/hour in the Infobright Enterprise Edition for binary file formats

Off-the-shelf, Low Cost Hardware

• Runs on industry standard servers
• Minimal storage requirements due to high compression
• Easily manages 1-10TB (and more) of data supported with single server

BI Flexibility / MySQL Integration

• Presents as a typical MySQL storage engine
• Out-of-the-box support for leading BI tools including Pentaho, JasperSoft, Cognos, Business Objects, SAS, and MicroStrategy
• Supports standard database interfaces, including ODBC
• JDBC and native connections
• Supported APIs include C, C++, C#, Borland Delphi (via dbExpress), Eiffel, SmallTalk, Java (with a native Java driver implementation), Lisp, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, REALbasic, FreeBasic, and Tcl

Easy Install, Configuration, and support for popular platforms

• Small download and simple 5-minute install
• No complex configuration/tuning necessary
• Community edition supports 32 and 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, Fedora, and Debian
