  TORONTO, Jul 07 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
Infobright, the open source data warehousing company, today announced
that bwin Games AB, a leader in the development of digital poker
products, has deployed Infobright Enterprise Edition (IEE) to manage the
increasing volume of data generated by its online poker business. IEE is
enabling bwin Games to store and quickly mine terabytes of data, without
putting a heavy burden on the company's hardware or administrative
resources.

    Part of the bwin Group, bwin Games develops and maintains the software for
one of the world's largest poker networks, Ongame Network. bwin handles up
to 45,000 concurrent poker players, with more than 10 million poker hands
per day, over 70,000 deposits and withdrawals processed daily, as well as
up to 6,000 financial transactions per second. As the amount of data
generated by several million registered customers in over 25 core markets
has increased, bwin Games required a cost-effective way to keep up with
storage and processing demands.

    "IEE's compression capabilities are enabling us to store far more
information than we could before, and we can run intensive queries in
minutes instead of days -- all with minimal set-up and administration
needed," said Carl Klingberg, managing director of bwin Games AB. "We
honestly didn't think this level of performance was possible, especially
at such a reasonable price point. Infobright has delivered beyond our
expectations."

    With IEE in place, bwin Games is able to store up to a year of poker data,
process more than half a gigabyte of information per day, and run
detailed, real-time queries that enable the company to make quicker,
well-informed business decisions. The Infobright solution, which was
successfully deployed at bwin Games in only a few hours, seamlessly
integrates with the company's MySQL database from Sun Microsystems. Based
on the results seen to date, bwin Games is currently considering
extending its use of IEE to support other data management requirements
within the organization.

    "Traditional, hardware-intensive data warehouse solutions are not serving
the needs of companies like bwin Games," said Miriam Tuerk, chief
executive officer of Infobright. "Data volumes are increasing
exponentially, and demands for real-time intelligence call for a more
efficient and simple approach that's not going to break the bank. We're
pleased that bwin Games' IEE deployment is meeting both their cost and
performance requirements."
