Mantra
Netezza, an IBM Company, has announced End-of-Life (EOL) for the entire Netezza Mantra product line effective 12/31/2010. This includes all variants of the Mantra appliance—Mantra Enterprise, Mantra SMB, Mantra Standby, and the Centralized Mantra Controller (CMC). It also includes the Mantra product embedded in the IBM® Netezza® 1000 appliance, known as MantraVM, and Mantra appliances bundled and shipped with the IBM® Netezza® 1000 appliances. For more details, please read the Customer FAQ for Netezza Mantra End-of-Life (EOL) Notice document.
The determination to cease development, sales and marketing of the Netezza Mantra product line was made after IBM's acquisition of Netezza and following a careful review of the future of the Netezza Mantra product line. IBM InfoSphere Guardium products offer similar capabilities and are sold to the same market as the Netezza Mantra products. To provide market clarity and focus, and to provide better support to our customers, we will offer and support a single solution to the market. Going forward, the IBM InfoSphere Guardium products (http://www.ibm.com/software/data/guardium/) will be our specified solution for database compliance and security needs.
We remain committed to bring the best overall solutions to our customers. We will provide Mantra support (http://www.netezza.com/support) and offer an optional migration program for Netezza Mantra customers who wish to consider transitioning to the IBM InfoSphere Guardium product line.
