InfiniDB™ is available in two forms, as the open source InfiniDB Community Edition and as the MPP-capable InfiniDB Enterprise Edition. Building on the solid foundation of InfiniDB Community Edition, InfiniDB Enterprise Edition adds massive parallel processing capabilities for unlimited and dynamic scale-out performance, global system administration from a single console, database and operating system monitoring, automatic notifications and alerts, and production support for a future-proof, enterprise-class analytics platform.
Case Study
