New Referral Relationship Accelerates Delivery of Brighthouse and Pentaho Data Integration Solutions to MySQL Users

Toronto, Canada and Orlando Florida – Jan 31, 2008 – Infobright, an innovative analytics data warehouse provider, and Pentaho Corp., the commercial open source alternative for business intelligence, today announced that Infobright has joined the Pentaho Partner Program. The companies have also entered into a mutual referral relationship that incents each organization to recommend the other's solution when MySQL customers are looking for breakthrough database performance as well as best-in-class open source ETL capabilities.

Data warehouse solutions typically require labor-intensive data partitioning and indexing, along with extra processing power. As data volumes continue to grow, organizations will not be able to efficiently and cost-effectively use that data. Infobright's Brighthouse fundamentally reinvents data warehouse architecture, delivering a solution that works smarter, not harder. With its innovative metadata layer and intelligent Knowledge Grid, Infobright eliminates indices and other physical data structures, as well as the need to deploy large hardware systems. Customers can execute ad hoc, complex queries against even the largest datasets with industry-leading efficiency and speed.

Pentaho Data Integration has achieved widespread market adoption based on its scalable, metadata-driven architecture, its market-leading ease of use, and its rapid evolution based on a vibrant, global, contributing community. A Pentaho Data Integration Subscription allows companies of all sizes to take advantage of Pentaho's capabilities to integrate disparate data sources, with the security, reliability, and reduced risk made possible by professional support, IP indemnification, and certified versions of the product. Organizations around the globe use Pentaho Data Integration to create and maintain everything from small departmental datamarts to large-scale data warehouses with dozens of data sources and billions of rows of data.

"We're pleased to partner with Pentaho to further accelerate adoption of Brighthouse among MySQL users," said Victoria Eastwood, Vice President, Engineering at Infobright. "With Pentaho, Brighthouse, and MySQL, organizations can tap into their disparate data sources and integrate the information on an optimized, scalable data warehousing infrastructure."
