[October 06, 2008] Polystar OSIX Selects Infobright for High-Volume Data Warehousing Capabilities and MySQL Compatibility Tweet (Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) TORONTO, October 6 / MARKET WIRE/ -- Infobright, the open source data warehousing company, today announced that Polystar OSIX, one of Europe's leading telecommunications suppliers, has selected its flagship Infobright Enterprise Edition (IEE) solution to drive improved analytics for the Polystar OSIX OSS application suite for fixed, mobile and Voice over IP (VoIP) networks. Polystar chose Infobright for its ability to support the company's high-volume data warehousing requirements and because of the solution's interoperability with the MySQL database that Polystar has in place. Polystar OSIX offers Customer Experience Management (CEM) and Service Assurance solutions to leading telecom operations and service providers worldwide, empowering network owners -- whether fixed, mobile or VoIP -- to make business-critical decisions with speed and accuracy. Consisting of a number of applications that provide network operators with information about the status of their offered services, network performance and customer behavior, the Polystar OSIX OSS suite must be able to process massive amounts of data, related to key network performance indicators -- a primary driver behind the company's choice of Infobright. "In the highly competitive telecommunications industry, service performance is a key differentiator. As a result, our customers expect our applications to be able to process large amounts of user data and call details. They also demand fast query response times, so that they can stay on top of any issues that can potentially impact their business," said Jan ?hman, CEO of Polystar OSIX. "We were very impressed with the Infobright solution's load speed, its high-data compression rate and its ability to maximize query performance. With Infobright Enterprise Edition in place, we expect to be able to deliver the critical network information that our customers require faster than ever." Polystar OSIX and Infobright recently completed a successful proof of concept test to ensure that the solution would meet the OSS product suite load window and query performance requirements. The company plans to go live with the solution at a customer installation later this year. Infobright has reinvented data warehouse architecture from the ground up, delivering a solution that is powerful, simple to use and cost-effective. Infobright combines a column-oriented database with a unique Knowledge Grid architecture to eliminate the complexity inherent in traditional data warehousing. It also eliminates the costly hardware infrastructure and time-consuming manual processes required to build, tune and maintain a data warehouse. Infobright is integrated with Sun Microsystems' MySQL database, the world's most popular open source database, delivering the industry's most scalable data warehouse platform for MySQL. "We're pleased that Polystar OSIX has selected Infobright and look forward to working closely with them to deploy the solution in a live customer environment," said Miriam Tuerk, president and CEO of Infobright.
