Vendor Snapshot: Illuminate Solutions Breaks Through Traditional BI Barriers
Illuminate Solutions is a young Spain-based analytic database vendor that offers a compelling new approach optimized for complex, dynamic, ad hoc queries. Illuminate's correlation database uses what it calls "value-based storage" to greatly reduce the size of the analytic database and the need for manual data modeling. The vendor's approach enables the analytic database — without manual redesign, tuning, or optimization — to continually deliver fast response to complex, dynamic, ad hoc queries. Expect illuminate, which recently established its North American headquarters, to gain significant adoption among data warehouse (DW) and business intelligence (BI) users and system integrators, and also to expand its partnerships with complementary software, hardware, and hosting providers.
