Infobright & MySQL AB Announce Storage Engine Partnership
BrightHouse for MySQL Available Now for Archiving Multi-Terabyte Data Warehouses
Toronto, Canada & Cupertino, California -- November 8, 2006 -- Infobright Inc. and MySQL AB have signed a partnership agreement as part of the MySQL Certified Storage Engine Program. Infobright has completed the technical integration of MySQL® with its innovative BrightHouse database engine. It is available for purchase now -- sold and supported by Infobright.
Today’s announcement was made at The Data Warehousing Institute Conference, being held in Orlando, Florida.
Launched in April, the MySQL Certified Storage Engine Program is a way for 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.html.
BrightHouse is a highly-compressed engine designed for archiving data from multi-terabyte data warehouses. Prior to entering this partnership, Infobright evaluated various open source database vendors on business and technical merit -- and MySQL AB won on both counts.
“We’re excited to be working with MySQL,” says Miriam Tuerk, President & CEO of Infobright. “Through our MySQL partnership, we have significantly increased our engine’s capabilities this year to support BI and ETL tools. Integration with MySQL has delivered maturity, robustness, and feature-rich RDBMS functionality to BrightHouse.”
BrightHouse compresses data at an average ratio of 10:1 (peak compression ratios exceed 30:1). For example, BrightHouse compresses 30 TB into 3 TB whilst maintaining immediate and comprehensive query capability. Additionally, BrightHouse operates on commodity-based Intel hardware thereby allowing installation on existing, low-cost platforms.
“Infobright’s BrightHouse engine is a great complement to the MySQL database server and our other storage engines,” says Mark Burton, MySQL AB’s executive vice president of worldwide sales. “Corporations can realize significant IT cost savings by archiving data from their existing data warehouses using BrightHouse’s advanced compression technologies.”
Availability
BrightHouse is available today for Microsoft Windows servers, with Linux support scheduled for early 2007. Customers will find they have a very compelling business case with Infobright -- almost 90 percent cheaper than expanding their existing large-scale data warehouse implementations.
In addition to BrightHouse, Infobright has developed BrightWorks, an innovative tool-set to effortlessly manage the data archiving process. BrightWorks scans query logs on the primary warehouse and provides an understanding of how the data is actually being used. DBAs can formulate effective archiving strategies as job instances on the corporation’s scheduling system. BrightWorks makes it easy to develop, review and implement an effective archiving strategy.
