CloudBase is a high performance data warehouse system that scales horizontally on commodity hardware or a cloud computing network.

Business.com, a business search engine, directory and pay–per-click advertising network, recently announced the availability of CloudBase, a high y–performance data warehouse system that scales horizontally on commodity hardware or a cloud computing network.  Built on top of a map–reduce architecture, this technology enables business analysts using ANSI SQL to directly query large y–scale log files arising in web site, telecommunications or IT operations. Now even small businesses will be able to quickly analyze log data without the cost and complexity of maintaining large relational database management system (RDBMS) clusters.

“We developed CloudBase to drastically improve the speed and efficiency of transforming terabyte–scale web log files into actionable insights for improving user experience and business results,” said Paul Dagum, Chief Scientist and Strategy Officer, R.H. Donnelley Interactive (RHDi). “By inventing, developing and releasing open source technology like CloudBase, Business.com continues to demonstrate both our leadership in the online space and our overall focus on helping businesses quickly find solutions to their most pressing challenges.”
