Pentaho and Ingres Team for Agile Business Intelligence and High Performance Data Warehouse

New Partnership Delivers Fast and Powerful Business Analytics for Business Users in Medium and Large Organizations

Redwood City, California - October 20, 2010 - Ingres Corporation, the leading open source database management company and pioneer of the New Economics of IT, today announces a strategic relationship with Pentaho, the open source business intelligence (BI) leader, in which Pentaho products will be boosted by the Ingres VectorWise Database, signaling a new age of Agile Business Intelligence software solutions. The companies will certify their respective products with each other, specifically, the Pentaho BI Suite and Ingres VectorWise Database.

"This joint solution provides blazing fast queries which enable companies to make decisions at the speed of thought," said Richard Daley, founder and CEO of Pentaho. "Data alone means nothing; the speed at which users can make sense of and act on data is what counts. By combining the power of the Ingres VectorWise lightning fast analytic database with our full BI suite, customers can shrink their time to value even as their data sets grow."

This co-certification means that organizations in industries such as financial services, pharmaceuticals and digital media can marry the competitive advantage of enterprise-strength business intelligence with the speed and performance of a high-speed analytical database. To date, adopters of Ingres VectorWise have seen performance increases of up to 70x that of existing databases whilst running sophisticated analytics on very large datasets.

"Pentaho has led the charge in delivering Agile BI and developing a core BI platform that makes it easy for organizations to get faster insight," said Roger Burkhardt, CEO of Ingres. "By creating partnerships with forward-thinking companies such as Pentaho, we continue to accelerate successful BI deployments for our customers."

With its Agile BI initiative, Pentaho has eliminated the complexity and confusion associated with traditional BI technologies, allowing more users to participate in BI project development. Pentaho collapses the analytic data supply chain by reducing the number of development steps before results can be visualized. In turn, this improves the collaboration between developers and end users and dramatically accelerating time to value.

The newly launched Ingres VectorWise is a next generation analytic database that unlocks the power of modern commodity CPUs with a revolutionary database engine that leverages vector-based processing and on-chip memory to provide dramatic performance gains over other databases.
