Infobright Open Source Data Warehouse Certified With Sun Storage, Delivers Strong Performance Results

SANTA CLARA, CA, Apr 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
MySQL Conference & Expo 2009 -- Infobright, a leading open source data
warehousing company, today announced that Infobright Enterprise Edition
(IEE) and Infobright Community Edition (ICE) have been certified by Sun
Microsystems for use with the Sun's Unified Storage product line.
Additionally, Infobright released the results of its performance testing
with the Sun Storage(TM) 7410 Unified Storage System, which demonstrated
up to 92 percent increase in query performance compared to the same tests
conducted with a competitive storage device.

The testing was conducted using a real-world scenario for data analytics.
It consisted of 64 different queries running repetitively for several
hours against an 8TB Infobright database, varying the number of
concurrent users from 1 - 16. The hardware environment included a Sun
Fire(TM) X4450 server using NFS to connect to a Sun Storage 7410 Unified
Storage System and demonstrated consistently faster (up to 92 percent)
results than a competitive SAN based storage unit.

"The outstanding testing performance reported from the combination of the
Sun Storage 7410 Unified Storage System and Infobright's data warehouse
technology gives customers an easy-to-use and low-cost way to analyze,
manage and store growing amounts of data. We anticipate the combination
of Infobright and Sun will be of great interest and value to our
customers deploying datawarehouse infrastructure for Web services and
MySQL," said Graham Lovell, senior director, Systems Group, Sun
Microsystems.

Proven alternatives to today's high-cost, high-maintenance data warehouse
products, ICE and IEE -- both based on Sun's MySQL database -- offer the
industry's lowest total cost of ownership and unmatched operational
simplicity.

The Sun Storage 7410 Unified Storage System scales up to 576 TB per
system, providing maximum flexibility and performance in data warehouse
solutions. With its extreme scalability, ease of use, and DTrace Analytics
capabilities, the Sun Storage 7410 simplifies storage management and
offers the best price/performance value. In addition, its hybrid storage
architecture offers higher performance with reduced energy consumption.

"Our testing confirmed our belief that the features of Sun's Open Storage
innovation -- such as the flash memory and built-in snapshot capabilities
-- are ideal for data warehousing. The snapshot feature enables real-time
and incremental backup, easing a problem for large data warehouse
implementations," said Victoria Eastwood, Infobright vice president of
engineering. "We saw the most dramatic performance impact when we tested
in a multi-server environment, validating that the Sun Unified Storage
System will be an ideal platform when we deliver our multi-server
solution later this year." The press release with more details is at
