I may owe you an apology — I meant that as a wink-nudge type of commentary, and didn’t mean to imply that Brighthouse can’t keep up with loading data. I don’t think that came across as well as I thought it would.

Firstly, congratulations on your award this morning at the MySQL conference.

I’d like to clarify your statement regarding our flyer and “nearly real-time” loading of data. We’ve used this term to refer to batch loading with “short” frequencies that match the latency requirements of the user community, e.g. 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 30 minutes – which has nothing to do with the load speed capabilities of the platform.

You could load data into Brighthouse real-time, but thats definitely not an attribute associated with an analytical data warehouse.

Brighthouse, on average, will load a single table at 100GB/hr. Parallel loads are possible, and 250GB/hr can easily be achieved for multiple tables. Brighthouse also has linear scalability regarding load speed, meaning that loading 250GB of data into a 5TB system will take exactly the same amount of time loading into a 20TB system.

Hopefully this clarifies the confusion over the text of the flyer.

Best regards,
