Infobright Inc. has announced it has secured $8M of Series B financing in a round lead by IDG Ventures Boston. IDG was joined by RBC Technology Ventures, which led Infobright's previous rounds of financing. Infobright provides a solution for analytic data warehousing allowing customers to do high-performance analysis across terabytes of data. Chip Hazard of IDG Ventures will be joining Infobright's Board of Directors.

Unlike other data warehousing solutions, Infobright can easily scale to handle very large amounts of data while providing high performance for extremely complex workloads, the company says. Infobright allows businesses to quickly respond to changes in the market without custom database tuning. Infobright's software-only solutions offer customers flexible hardware choices and are self-managing and easy to administer, resulting in unrivaled total cost of ownership, says the company.

Infobright's customers include Royal Bank of Canada, TrueNorth Corporation and BlueLithium. Infobright also recently announced a co-selling agreement with MySQL.

"Customers need a high performance data warehouse solution that can not only analyze terabytes of data but also allows them to rapidly react to changes in their business," said Infobright CEO Miriam Tuerk. "Our focus has been to provide a highly flexible solution that helps our customers become more agile."

"Business analysts need a faster way to analyze vast amounts of data." said Rob Antoniades, managing director, RBC Technology Ventures. "Infobright helps customers get the answers they need, when they need them."

"Traditional data warehousing solutions are extremely complex to administer to ensure high performance and often lock customers into a proprietary hardware platform," said Chip Hazard, general partner, IDG Ventures. "With its unique approach Infobright dramatically changes the performance and economics of analytic data warehousing."
