LOS GATOS, Calif., June 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Red Brick(R) Systems, Inc.
(Nasdaq: REDB), The Data Warehouse Company(R), today announced the
availability of a native, 64-bit version of Red Brick Warehouse 5.1, including
Red Brick Vista(TM), on Hewlett-Packard Company's industry-leading 64-bit
operating environment, HP-UX 11. Red Brick customers and partners who have
chosen HP's 64-bit servers to deploy data warehousing applications will
benefit from improved data access and increased multi-user scalability. These
benefits result in quicker, more cost-efficient data analysis than through
using traditional 32-bit computing systems.
"Our relationship with HP is based on building and delivering leading-edge
solutions to match our mutual customers' requirements for successful decision
support," said John Reid, senior director of Business Development at Red
Brick. "HP continues to demonstrate leadership in high-performance data
warehousing solutions with its 64-bit offering, and Red Brick's support of
this platform extends the value and productivity of Red Brick products in
decision support."
"The advantages of 64-bit computing for data warehousing are amplified by
Red Brick's industry-leading features which are designed specifically to
address data warehousing applications," said Patrick Rogers, worldwide
marketing manager for HP's High Performance Systems Division. "We expect data
warehousing customers and partners who require large memory caches and quick
analysis to see a performance improvement with this new offering."
The Advantages of HP's 64-bit Computing for Data Warehousing
HP's 64-bit support offers increased system performance and capacity.
Users who require high performance, resource-intensive applications, such as
those in data warehousing, can benefit from HP's 64-bit support as their user
base, data size and demand for throughput increase. Red Brick Warehouse, Red
Brick's flagship relational database management system designed specifically
for data warehousing, has been optimized to take advantage of the extremely
large memory capabilities available through 64-bit computing. This enables
faster response times on queries against very large data sets for increasing
numbers of users.
HP-UX 11 also provides a seamless transition to 64-bit computing for its
existing 32-bit customers, highlighted by its ability to run existing
applications without requiring any recoding or recompiling.

The native, 64-bit versions of Red Brick Warehouse 5.1 and Red Brick Vista
on HP-UX 11 are available now. Red Brick products may be licensed directly
