Birst Selects Infobright to Power Full Featured On-Demand BI Solution(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) TORONTO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 08/04/10 -- Infobright, whose high performance database is the preferred choice for analytic applications and data marts, today announced that Birst Inc., a leading provider of on-demand solutions for business intelligence (BI) and analytics, has selected Infobright® Enterprise Edition (IEE) as the data engine behind Birst's multi-tenant BI solution. Birst selected IEE to optimize query performance while reducing maintenance and overhead on analytic jobs with heavy data requirements, providing Birst customers fast access to rich analytics spanning customer service, sales, marketing, finance, operations and other lines of business. Birst's end-to-end BI suite offers fully integrated ETL, enterprise reporting, dashboarding, ad-hoc querying and analysis on demand for customers with a wide range of analytic requirements. The solution is delivered as a service, but also has the unique ability to report both on data that stays on premise as well as data that is loaded to the cloud. "Our testing with Infobright demonstrated strong performance, yet it is far more affordable and easy to maintain than other database solutions on the market," said Brad Peters, CEO of Birst. "Infobright's compelling combination of value and robust functionality will help Birst to stay ahead of our customers' demands for faster and more granular analytics against large volumes of data." Unlike other solutions that involve costly appliances or extensive DBA resources, IEE delivers the high performance needed for fast analysis on large data volumes with minimal effort to set up, use and administer. IEE's self-tuning software means that Birst does not need to create indexes, partition data, create projections or do any manual tuning to achieve high performance for static or ad-hoc queries. IEE's compression, delete performance and query-while-load capabilities will also help Birst realize additional performance gains for its customers. In tests of the solution, the company is already seeing data compression rates of 20:1 and 3-10x improvement in query performance. "Innovative companies like Birst need a database that's specifically optimized for analytics," said Don DeLoach, President and CEO of Infobright. "IEE combines simplicity and affordability with the performance and scalability that today's BI providers require. We look forward to working with Birst as the company continues to grow its business." About BirstBirst is the leading provider of on-demand business intelligence solutions.
