SGI Adaptive Data Warehouse Solution Goes Visual

New Alliances Enhance Ability to Rapidly Extract Insights from Large-Scale Oracle Data Warehouses
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22 -- Oracle Open World, Booth 3418 West, -- At Oracle Open World today, Silicon Graphics, Inc. (NASDAQ: SGIC) showcased new third-party applications that extend the ecosystem of the SGI(R) Adaptive Data Warehouse Solution.

The new tools help make the SGI solution, optimized for Oracle(R) data warehouses, even more effective in managing soaring data volumes, increasingly complex analyses, data mining and visualization, multiple workflows, and growing populations of users. Such conditions are common in high-performance business enterprises that rely on data warehouses to conduct fraud analysis, customer data mining, predictive analysis, and other data-intensive applications.

suite of visual data mining tools that reveals the hidden value buried
in data, trends, patterns and relationships. Mineset distills complex
information into easily understood graphics, and supports real-time
"what if" analysis with parameters that can be adjusted on the fly.
