Infobright则是开源数据仓库(DataWarehouse)解决方案，基于列存储的存储引擎，可实现海量数据存储，且拥有较高的数据压缩比例，压缩比一版在10:1,40:1甚至更大，取决于数据重复度、数据类型和数据在磁盘的分布状态。能达到高速的数据装载性能：多种数据导入方式，语法简单，并拥有优化的统计算法(sum/group/count…)：在动态数据手动分布的情况下，需要设计静态表，涉及额外的工作，修改代码等。Infobright在导入时则不涉及到类似的问题
Infobright在应用中的确优势突出：例如，没有复杂的数据仓库模型设计要求(比如星状模型、雪花模型)，应用Infobright可节约设计开销，不需要物化视图、数据分区、索引建立，节省存储资源;高压缩比率通常是10:1，某些应用可能达到40:1;集成利用广泛;和众多的BI套件相容，比如Pentaho、Cognos、Jaspersof
降低运维成本;随着数据库的逐渐增大，查询和装载性能持续保持稳定;实施和管理简单，需要极少的管理;是第一个商业支持的开源仓储分析数据库，也是Oracle/MySQL 官方推荐的仓储集成架构。
Infobright应用案例
Infobright适用场景包括：大数据量的分析应用、网页/在线分析、移动分析(话单分析)、客户行为分析(超市购买热销商品统计等)、分析营销和广告、日志/事件管理系统、电信详单分析和报告、系统/网络 安全认证记录(登陆记录、事件记录) 、数据集市、企事业单位特定数据仓库、为中小企业提供数据仓库、嵌入式分析、为独立软件供应商/ SaaS供应商提供嵌入式分析应用 ……
infobright-4.0.7需要boost_1_42以上的版本，所以先安装boost，编译安装时间较长
cd /home/data/
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/boost/boost/1.43.0/boost_1_43_0.tar.gz
tar -xzf boost_1_43_0.tar.gz
cd boost_1_43_0
./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/usr/local/boost
yum install python-devel
./bjam install
export BOOST_ROOT=/usr/local/boost
echo "/usr/local/boost/lib" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/boost-x86_64.conf
ldconfig
cd ..
安装 infobright-4.0.7
