“We’re pleased to welcome Yellowfin to the AWS Marketplace,” said AWS Country Manager ANZ, Ed Lenta. “Yellowfin’s 100% Web-based BI solution enables AWS customers to rapidly and independently start building sophisticated data analysis and BI solutions in the AWS cloud in minutes.”

Speaking about the new offering, Yellowfin CEO, Glen Rabie, said “Yellowfin for AWS makes it simple and cost-effective to efficiently analyze data – for organizations of all sizes and users of all types.”

Users can also easily connect their Yellowfin for AWS instance to Amazon Redshift – AWS’s fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service.

“We have seen a strong trend of direct customers and SaaS providers deploying Yellowfin on AWS and then connecting to Amazon Redshift,” said Rabie. “People love the cloud because it’s fast to deploy, scalable and affordable. And, that’s exactly what Yellowfin for AWS delivers, making it easy for non-technical users to quickly create and share an unlimited number of beautiful visualizations, reports and dashboards from any device for free.

“Not only can users take advantage of this free offer straight away, the extreme scalability of both solutions means it’s easy to upgrade at anytime, to start performing Big Data Analytics quickly and cost-effectively, and seamlessly scale throughout the enterprise.”
