ActuateOne is Actuate’s BIRT-based suite of commercial products for development and deployment of custom business analytics applications, while BIRT onDemand is Actuate’s SaaS version of ActuateOne.

“When integrated with Amazon Redshift, ActuateOne users are suddenly able to scale data at the same rate as ActuateOne scales users,” said Jeff Morris, VP of Product Marketing at Actuate.

Actuate announced today that both have been integrated with Amazon Redshift – AWS’s new petabyte-scale cloud warehouse service.

ActuateOne offers fast visualisation and rich analysis features while Amazon Redshift brings to the table its performance, scalability and low cost (under US$1,000/terabyte/year).

Combining the two enables organizations of all sizes to reap the benefits of ultra-fast access and near-speed-of-thought visualization for Cloud-based business analytics – on real-time Big Data workloads of any size or complexity.
