Henry Rivera - PeerSpot reviewer
Used to support websites and reduces the configuration and maintenance of the database
The solution's initial setup is complex. You have to understand networking when filling out a form to create your RDS. You have to understand a few things. They've made some steps to make it easier, but the person who creates the RDS has to make some irrevocable decisions. They can't be configured afterward. The person who utilizes it has to understand a few things, like networking security and database engines. The solution's deployment has a learning curve, and you have to do it a couple of times to understand exactly what it is and what you want. The deployment is pretty fast and straightforward once you understand the parameters of what you're trying to deploy. Understanding what you're doing probably takes the longest part. If you make any mistakes, you might have to redo it or configure it differently. It's great for those who can afford it. In my business practice, I make sure I can afford a test sandbox so that my mistakes don't impact production. I vet it all out in a different environment before I touch production.

If you need a real big data solution, look for a distributed solution that actually has a proven track record.
This version of Infobright has zero support for distributed scalability. The internal smart grid employed for each table has a major flaw in that the data size cannot be expunged until 2GB of data is reached at the column-level. This is a major flaw, making usage in a big-data scenario impossible. This means that you can delete as many records from a database table as you want. However, unless the 2GB aggregate size threshold was reached for some of the columns in the table, no reduction in disk space usage will occur. Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk. I spent countless hours trying to find some workaround for this. I have nightmares of my e-mail inbox full of unsolvable questions about data size reduction from our field engineers.
