 Labor intensive, heavy
indexing and par55oning
 Hardware intensive: massive
Tradi5onal Data storage; big servers
Warehousing  Expensive and complex

4. What do the current limitations mean for Stakeholders?
 Users
 Do not get access to data they need;
 Queries run too slowly;
 Are not allowed to think creatively – ask new different questions;
 Are told to wait for months for what they want in minutes;
 IT
 Besieged with requests for new data sources and new queries;
 Feature creep and changing requirements straining resources;
 Too much time and effort spent on ongoing management
 Not enough budget to meet user requirements
 Executives
 CIOs face service level complaints and rising IT costs;
 Business unit leaders without analytic data fail to achieve objectives;

Infobright Data Warehouse
More Kinds of Output
Limited Resources
More Data & Needed by More Users,
and Budget
Data Sources More Quickly
• Just load and go • No planning for new queries
• No fixed schemas • Load and query performance
• Fast data load remain the same as DB grows
• Scales from 500GB to 30TB
• No DBA needed
• Self-managing: no indexes, no
data partitioning, no manual tuning
• Choice of open source and low-cost
Enterprise subscriptions
• Simple hardware infrastructure: standard
servers, much less storage

6. The Infobright Difference
Infobright's Mission Infobright
Enable companies of all sizes to
be able to easily
implement, manage and afford a
data warehouse.
Infobright's SoluEon
A radical new approach to
analyEcal data warehousing

9. Infobright and MySQL
Infobright is architected on MySQL, backed by strong
partnership with MySQL and SUN
• IntegraEon provides a simple
path to highly scalable data
warehousing for MySQL users
• No new management
interface to learn
• MySQL integraEon enables
seamless connecEvity to BI
tools and MySQL drivers for C,
JDBC, ODBC, .NET, Perl, etc.

11. The Infobright Difference
 Self-managing: no data partitioning, no index creation or maintenance,
Knowledge Grid created automatically
 Very low cost: standard commodity servers; minimal administrative
costs; simple, SMP hardware architecture; much less storage due to
compression
 Scalable, high performance: up to 30TB using single server, very fast
data load, superior query performance, industry-leading compression,
query and load performance remain constant as DB size grows
 Very fast time-to-market: fast implementation, no software
configuration, no new schema, new queries without any effort, use the
BI tools you already have
 Community and Enterprise editions to suit your needs
11

12. Significantly Lower TCO
 Hardware footprint 20 to 50 times smaller
 Fewer DBA resources required
 40 – 60% reduction in one-time build
 Up to 90% reduction in ongoing support
 Support for existing infrastructure
 Load and Go
 Improved SLAs – immediate response vs weeks or months
