Things could get interesting for Infobright
Of the many new specialty data warehouse DBMS and appliances, Infobright’s BrightHouse is the only leading one based on MySQL. I expect Sun and Infobright to have some interesting conversations now. Conversely, I wouldn’t be optimistic about any partnering discussions Infobright might have with, say, HP.
The most directly competitive relationship Sun now has to any future Infobright partnership is with ParAccel.

Actually, they do have an existing relationship for datawarehousing with Greenplum, based on PostgreSQL.

Right. Sun has long had a relationship with Greenplum, and added one with ParAccel more recently.
