MySQL AB, the developer of the world's most well loved open source database, today announced that BlueLithium, a leading online marketing company, is implementing a business-critical data warehouse application built upon MySQL and the BrightHouse database engine from Infobright Inc. MySQL AB and Infobright, a MySQL Certified Storage Engine partner, are expanding their relationship to jointly offer customers analytic data warehousing solutions.

BlueLithium, one of the top five US online advertising networks, uses data from 145 million consumers worldwide, combined with sophisticated analytics and advanced targeting technologies to make value for both marketers and publishers.

"Our advanced analytics help us do better ad targeting which delivers increased value to our customers -- as well as a better user experience," said Jay Webster, General Manager, BlueLithium Performance Network. "BrightHouse allows us to do very complex analyses on over 30 terabytes of data while leveraging our skill set in MySQL."

MySQL for Data Warehouses
MySQL is developing new database technology, services and partnerships to target the data warehouse market. For the first time, MySQL was included last year in Gartner Inc.'s Magic Quadrant for Data Warehouse DBMS Servers*.

"MySQL AB is recognized for tackling traditionally-complex data management problems and delivering straight-forward, affordable solutions for them," said Nicolas Pujol, MySQL AB's director of Alliances. "With the expertise of our new data warehouse partners, we are expanding the professional help we can provide customers in implementing large-scale, multi-terabyte business intelligence applications based on the MySQL Enterprise Server."

BrightHouse is an analytic data warehouse that takes advantage of MySQL's pluggable storage engine architecture (http://www.mysql.com/engines). BrightHouse's column-oriented, engine uses a unique approach to eliminate the need for traditional indexing while delivering high performance for complex or ad-hoc analytics across very large amounts of data. BrightHouse also delivers market-leading data compression of 10:1 (from raw data), resulting in additional performance improvements and a drastic reduction in costs associated with both hardware and administration.

"Providing business users a way to do complex analysis across a very large amount of data has traditionally been a complex and costly process," said Miriam Tuerk, president and CEO, Infobright Inc., "Together, Infobright and MySQL can deliver a powerful-yet-elegant solution to new online enterprises that need a standalone analytic data warehouse -- or companies who have performance issues with their existing warehouse environment."
