Informatica, Microstrategy, Pentaho, Qlik, SAS, and Tableau will be supporting the new drivers with their BI and ETL solutions. We have launched custom JDBC and ODBC drivers optimized for use with Amazon Redshift, making them easier to use, more reliable, and more performant than drivers available on. The second, Query Visualization in the Console, helps you optimize your queries to take full advantage of Amazon Redshift’s Massively Parallel Processing (MPP), columnar architecture. The first, custom ODBC and JDBC drivers, now makes it easier and faster to connect to and query Amazon Redshift from your BI tool of choice. I am happy to be able to announce two new Amazon Redshift features today! My colleague Tina Adams sent me a guest post to share some more Amazon Redshift updates. Customers are continuing to unlock powerful analytics using the service, as you can see from recent posts by IMS Health, Phillips, and GREE. The Amazon Redshift team has released over 100 new features since the launch, with a focus on price, performance, and ease of use. A few months ago, I discussed 20 new features from Amazon Redshift, our petabyte-scale, fully managed data warehouse service that lets you get started for free and costs as little as $1,000 per TB per year.
