Metapa, Inc., a leading provider of high-performance analytics infrastructure software, today announced that they will be demonstrating their Cluster DataBase ("CDB") 1.0 at Demo 2004. This is the industry's first Linux database clustering platform "purpose-built" for business intelligence. The DEMO conference is recognized around the world as the premier event that reveals the products and services poised to have the greatest impact on the technology landscape in the year to come. "We are honored to be selected to preview Metapa's CDB at Demo 2004," said Dave Powell, president and CEO of Metapa. "We will be demonstrating how our software can deliver the dramatic query acceleration and storage capacity needed in dynamic business environments at a fraction of the cost of traditional data warehousing systems." "Metapa's CDB will transform the economics of business intelligence by allowing companies to capitalize on the performance advantages and operational returns of Linux and open source computing," said Chris Shipley, executive producer of Demo 2004. "CDB uses Linux/Intel commodity computing, open source database technologies and breakthrough parallel processing algorithms to deliver unprecedented price/performance when compared to traditional, proprietary database solutions." Targeted primarily at businesses with large data volumes, like Telcos, ISPs, Financial Services, and Bioinformatics companies, CDB helps clients address the issues of expanding data volumes, shrinking batch windows, and rising demand for faster, more accurate business reporting. Metapa's solution delivers dramatic query acceleration and storage capacity by enabling companies to deploy tera-scale data warehouses on clusters of commodity Linux servers, while ensuring enterprise-class reliability, near-linear scalability, and easy integration with existing IT environments.
