Data mining and data analysis are pretty broad and can be accomplished
with a variety of techniques. Perhaps you can narrow it down a little
bit?

For example, if you are looking to use dimensional modeling for data
warehousing and analysis then you might want to take a look at
ActiveWarehouse. For data mining you might want to consider search
with something like Solr or Sphinx and distributed techniques such as
map/reduce. What you will use depends largely on the amount of data
you are trying to analyze and the resources available to you.

Sincerely,
Anthony Eden
