Pentaho's products are used by leading organizations, including MySQL, Motorola, Terra Industries, DivX and more. Pentaho's business intelligence products help organizations unlock valuable information inside their applications and databases and get that information into the hands of business users. Whether managers want to see a simple dashboard with key performance indicators, or operational employees want to see reports that summarize key customer or operations information, or power users want to interactively analyze and explore data to uncover trends, Pentaho provides a proven, commercial open source solution to address their needs.
Pentaho is different from traditional proprietary business intelligence offerings because Pentaho was designed with a modern, web-centric architecture that's scalable, standards-based, and easy to deploy and integrate. Pentaho's commercial open source model eliminates large, upfront license fees and dramatically lowers total cost of ownership. Pentaho is different from other open source BI offerings because Pentaho provides the broadest spectrum of integrated business intelligence capabilities' reporting, analysis, dashboards, data integration, and data mining.
Pentaho is the only open source BI suite provider who leads and sponsors all of its business intelligence projects. Other open source BI providers integrate and depend on third-party BI components and third-party providers. This means that they are not able to deliver the quality of service, depth of integration across modules, or holistic customer-driven roadmap that Pentaho provides.
Together, Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Pentaho Open BI Suite deliver a proven, standards-based commercial open source platform that enables enterprise business intelligence at a far lower total cost of ownership than traditional proprietary systems.

This white paper describes the Pentaho Business Intelligence Platform, a solution-oriented BI platform that integrates open source components and open standards with a process-driven engine. It shows how this open source platform combines BI with workflow and process management, making significant improvements to both.
This document describes a method used to measure the performance of a BI platform. Ways to use these measurements to determine the scalability of a BI system in a scale-out architecture are also included. This method was applied to the Pentaho BI Platform, and the proof of linear scalability in a scale-out architecture is presented.
Major companies like Frontier Airlines, Orbitz, and others around the globe depend on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Pentaho to provide a solution that addresses technical and business requirements, is quick to deploy, and may provide far better value than other alternatives.
