Open Source Leaders Offer Talend Connector for Automating the Loading of Data into the Infobright Data Warehouse

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana - TDWI World Conference – November 3, 2008 - Infobright, the open source data warehousing company, and Talend, the first provider of open source data integration software, today announced a technology partnership along with the upcoming availability of a Talend Connector for the Infobright data warehouse. Available in the next 30 days, the connector will allow users of Talend's enterprise open source data integration solutions to leverage the fast data loader built into Infobright Enterprise Edition (IEE), the highly scalable, self-managing analytic data warehouse software that reduces ongoing management by up to 90 percent and costs significantly less that other data warehouse solutions.

Using Talend Open Studio and Talend Integration Suite, data administrators can fully manage data sources, data transformations, and ETL process scheduling – including near real-time transformation and loading without developing external batch processes.

“Talend's award-winning open source data integration solutions enable efficient data transfers between source applications or databases and the data warehouse, bridging the diverse data structures with high performance,” said Vincent Pineau, Talend's vice president and general manager Americas. “Talend and Infobright create an unbeatable combination of solutions that offer the same power and performance as proprietary software, at only a fraction of its cost.”

“Talend provides the critical data transformation and load layer of a BI solution, and the Infobright connector will make it much easier for our customers to design, build, and manage an efficient data warehouse that meets the specific demands of their particular business processes,” said Miriam Tuerk, president and CEO of Infobright. “We will continue to form alliances with top-tier partners in the BI/data warehouse ecosystem in order to provide customers with cost-effective, end-to-end solutions that foster successful deployments and accelerate adoption.”
