The recognition of InfiniDB’s progress in the larger data warehouse market is significant considering that the commercial product has been in the market less than two years. The real testament here, however, is the response Information Difference received from Calpont customers during the survey, which resulted in Calpont’s customer satisfaction characterization as follows:

“Based on this survey, the data warehouse vendor with the happiest customers in 2011 was Teradata, followed by Calpont, then IBM, followed by Kognitio and Kalido.”

What can we say to our customers, but a huge “Thanks!” The feedback on InfiniDB in all circles has been tremendous, and we look forward to increasing our position on the Information Difference Data Warehouse Landscape in 2012 by continuing to evolve our product set and making customer satisfaction job one.

At Calpont, we believe that an analytics database that scales as you grow - at no extra charge - is not a privilege, but your right

This is the mantra we live and breathe every day, and this same mantra is what has shaped the development of our analytics database, InfiniDB.

  • the benefits of columnar database technology,
  •  why Big Data should not be taxed, and
  • how to deal with data performance challenges within large scale data environments.

The event also featured:

  • reviews of 5 customer case studies that show the benefits of Calpont InfiniDB
  • an offer to attend our free Webinar 'Cognitive Match Drives Up Relevance & Conversions'
  • a video which demonstrates how InfiniDB exceeds the deep analytics needs of web and media advertising firms

Attendees learned of the unheard of Big Data query speeds which are a part of the InfiniDB and learned how InfiniDB can support deep analytics requirements at a fraction of the typical market cost.  Look for more free webinar opportunities available from InfiniDB!
