This document provides an overview of an upcoming webinar hosted by Infobright. The webinar will feature a presentation by Susan Davis, VP of Marketing at Infobright, about how the company's technology enables real-time data analysis. Infobright offers a columnar database that provides fast analytics for large volumes of machine-generated data. Infobright's solutions help customers meet requirements for speed, flexibility, performance and low maintenance. Case studies will highlight how Infobright has helped telecom and mobile analytics companies like JDSU and Bango improve query response times, reduce data storage needs, and lower costs.

5. ! The last ten or so years have seen a massive influx of
business intelligence tools: reporting, analytics, data
mining, online analytical processing, querying, etc.
! BI technologies are designed to let organizations take all
their capabilities and convert them into knowledge,
ultimately getting the the right information to the right
people at the right time.
! Vendors face the challenge of providing organizations
with tools robust enough to get at their data and provide
the right actionable insight.

10. The Need for Analysis
Ent. Apps SaaS Huge data Demand for
market market growth embedded
data
• 18% growth • Machine- analysis
• Grew to
$115B in 2011 2012, projected generated
$22B by 2015 • Unstructured
11. Requirements
Customers/Users Technology Provider
§ Fast access to the data, even § Provide superior analytics for
near-real time competitive advantage
§ Total flexibility for ad hoc § Meet their customers
analysis requirements
§ High performance § Reduce database costs
§ Ability to keep longer data § Eliminate need for DBA tuning
histories § Minimize hardware and
§ Less hardware software footprint
§ No DBA work needed § Ease of implementation and
integration with their
application
12. Case Study: JDSU
§ Annual revenues exceeded $1.8B in 2011
§ 4700 employees are based in over 80 locations worldwide
§ Communications sector offers instruments, systems, software,
services, and integrated solutions that help communications service
providers, equipment manufacturers, and major communications
users maintain their competitive advantage
§ JDSU Service Assurance Solutions
§ Ensure high quality of experience (QoE) for wireless voice, data,
messaging, and billing.
§ Used by many of the world’s largest network operators
13. Telecom Example: JDSU Project Goals
§ New version of Session Trace solution that would:
§ Support very fast load speeds to keep up with increasing call
volume and the need for near real-time data access
§ Reduce the amount of storage by 5x, while also keeping much
longer data history
§ Reduce overall database licensing costs
§ Eliminate customers’ “DBA tax,” meaning there should require
zero maintenance or tuning while enabling flexible analysis
§ Continue delivering the fast query response needed by
Network Operations Center (NOC) personnel when
troubleshooting issues and supporting up to 200 simultaneous
users
15. TDR-Store Used by Session Trace Solution
For deployment at Tier 1
network operators, each site
will store between 6 and 45 TB
of data, and the total data
volume will range from 700 TB
to 1PB of data.

Data Compression & Reducing Capex &
Getting Data in Quickly
History Opex
• 5X space reduction • Rates of 20,000 TDRs • No indexing or tuning

36. • What are the types of use cases that InfoBright is getting the most
traction from? We have telecom and mobile payment in the case
study, but I would be looking for top-5 that may or may not include
those two.
• Are there differences in the geography adoption of InfoBright
products? Just wondering about the distribution of particular use
cases geographically by region: North America, CALA, EMEA,
AsiaPAC.
• Talk about the attributes of the telecom and mobile payment
markets that are “sweet spots” for InfoBright. I would guess it is the
“limited” amount of data values (ie., dates, towers, amounts) and
the “exploratory” nature (ie.,not set columns of data set).

37. • Talk about the choice of MySQL vs. another SQL “interface” for
InfoBright. I like the choice, but I would just like to hear the
qualitative and quantitative reasons from InfoBright’s perspective.
• Many people talk about Big-Data requirements (3Vs). What is
InfoBright’s specific competitive advantage over other Big Data
vendors/players (structured and unstructured)? I am guessing
implementation cost, time to implementation and load speed.
• Why purpose built Columnar over Columnar indexing which has
become “popular” from row-based RDBMS vendors?
