ParAccel and Talend Form Alliance

San Diego and Los Altos, CA - May 13, 2008 - ParAccel, Inc., provider of the ParAccel Analytic Database™, a high-speed, low-effort, columnar database management system, and Talend, the first provider of open source data integration software, today announced they will collaborate on joint sales opportunities and marketing initiatives and work together to provide customers with extremely high performing data integration and management solutions for data warehouses, data marts and strategic or operational analytic applications.

Talend's highly extensible data integration suite connects seamlessly to heterogeneous data sources and synchronizes data delivery for real time and operational business intelligence (BI). The ParAccel Analytic Database gives companies a competitive advantage in analytic performance by allowing them to accomplish in seconds what used to take hours. Combining Talend's integration strengths, which include its high performance loading capabilities and the largest library of application connectors on the market today, with the supercomputer-class performance of the ParAccel Analytic Database provides customers with best-in-class performance and affordability when analyzing and integrating disparate data sources. The result is a more efficient and comprehensive view of critical business information enabling better informed decision making.

“Rising data volumes and the demand for business analytics performance is exceeding the ability of traditional platforms to keep pace, thus the emergence of new players in the analytic database space, like ParAccel,” said Mark Madsen, president of Third Nature, a consulting and technology research firm focused on business intelligence, data integration and information management. “Business intelligence and analytics bring special requirements to the database management system, and the ability to access cross-platform data is a specialty of Talend and an ideal complement to the ParAccel Analytic Database,” Madsen said.

The ParAccel Analytic Database combines a columnar approach with massively parallel processing and patent-pending performance techniques. It has delivered significant performance and price-performance gains over other database management systems in customer environments as well as the industry standard TPC-H benchmark, an audited benchmark provisioned by the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC).

“The amount of enterprise data being generated in disparate data sources is growing exponentially, and the ability for decision makers to access that information quickly and seamlessly is crucial in today's competitive business environment,” said Rick Glick, ParAccel's vice president of technology and architecture. “Talend's data integration capabilities are highly complementary to ParAccel's standards-based approach and provides us with a compelling solution for feeding disparate data to the ParAccel Analytic Database. In addition, their ability to leverage an underlying DBMS for integration processing creates differentiated value in the context of our record-breaking performance.”

“Responding quickly to key business events requires businesses and key decision makers to have immediate access to all the data that matters,” said Talend COO and Co-founder Fabrice Bonan. “Talend's data integration solutions were designed for today's complex and heterogeneous information systems and are ideal for organizations that unite data from disparate sources. The power and versatility of Talend's technology, paired with the unique ParAccel database architecture gives companies an exhaustive view of their information system, and enables them to remain competitive in today's fast paced business market.”
