InfoBright is delivered in two product options: ICE (InfoBright Community Edition) and IEE (InfoBright Enterprise Edition).Infobright Enterprise Edition
Infobright's high performance analytic data warehouse is designed to handle business-driven queries on large volumes of data - without IT intervention. Easy to implement and manage, Infobright provides the answers your business users need at a price you can afford.
Enterprise Edition Features
Infobright technology combines a column-oriented database with our Knowledge Grid architecture to deliver the ideal solution for your growing analytic needs. While other data warehouse products require extensive IT effort to create indexes, partition data and build physical data structures, our self-managing solution delivers rapid response to complex queries created on-the-fly. While other products require complex, expensive hardware infrastructure to provide high performance and scalability, the Infobright solution scales to 30TB+ using a single server and our industry-leading data compression (10:1 up to 40:1) significantly reduces storage requirements.
