What is the Infobright Community Edition (ICE)?

ICE is an open source software solution designed to deliver a scalable data warehouse optimized for analytic queries.

The architecture delivers the following key benefits:

• Ideal for data volumes up to 50TB
• Market-leading data compression (from 10:1 to over 40:1), which drastically reduces I/O (improving query performance) and results in significantly less storage than alternative solutions
• No licensing fees
• Fast response times for ad hoc analytic queries
• Query and load performance remains constant as the size of the database grows
• No requirement for specific schemas, e.g. Star schema
• No requirement for materialized views, complex data partitioning strategies, or indexing
• Simple to implement and manage, requiring little administration
• Reduction in data warehouse capital and operational expenses by reducing the number of servers, the amount of storage needed and their associated maintenance costs, and a significant reduction in administrative costs
• Runs on low cost, off-the-shelf hardware
• Is compatible with major Business Intelligence tools such as Pentaho, Jaspersoft, Cognos, Business Objects, and others
