Data Warehousing
Netezza's approach to data warehousing
Your organization has spent millions of dollars implementing a data warehouse or data mart using the corporate standard database, such as Oracle, Teradata or DB2. After all, in-house expertise is available for these databases and volume purchase discounts and site license agreements with the vendors are in place. But despite the considerable expertise, service breaches are occurring frequently, users are dissatisfied with the response they are getting, a backlog of enhancements is mounting and any big ideas your organization has about extending Business Intelligence (BI) has dissipated.
Faced with these problems, you have employed large teams of database administrators to tune the database to make it respond better to complex queries and you have upgraded your system as far as your budget will allow. But all of this is in vain: every step you take just seems to bring you right back to the beginning.
These traditional vendors are now offering their own versions of Netezza-like appliances. For the most part, however, these are simply a repackaging of current technology and come with the same limitations: poor performance, complexity, high administrative costs and lack of scale.
At Netezza, we believe that data warehousing shouldn’t be complicated. Instead of spending time making data warehouses run efficiently, Netezza users deploy purpose-built data warehouse appliances that solve business problems. Netezza data warehouse appliances are installed quickly and easily, integrate with your preferred ETL and BI tools and can be largely left alone to get on with the job.
The fourth generation of Netezza appliances, The Netezza TwinFin™ data warehouse appliance, is the first in a family of four appliances which comprises a high-capacity system that scales to five petabytes, a memory-intensive system for extreme performance and an entry level system.
The Netezza data warehouse appliance is proven to provide true business value to customers very quickly with minimal investments of money, time, and effort.
