Netezza TwinFin™ ~ Wave 2
High-Performance Business Intelligence and Advanced Analytics for the Enterprise
The Netezza TwinFin™ system is the fourth generation Netezza appliance that once again sets the standard for price/performance for data warehousing and business intelligence (BI). TwinFin is a purpose-built, standards-based data appliance that architecturally integrates database, server and storage into a single, easy to manage system. TwinFin is designed for rapid analysis of data volumes scaling into the petabytes, delivering 10-100x performance improvements at a third of the cost of other options available from traditional database vendors. Netezza TwinFin is also the first data warehouse appliance to offer built-in data compliance and security of sensitive data. With growing data volumes, it’s critical that organizations have visibility into who is accessing information and why it is being accessed.
With TwinFin wave 2, Netezza has brought together high-performance data warehousing,
business intelligence and advanced
analytics in one easy to use data warehouse appliance.
Performance
TwinFin delivers high performance out of the box, with no indexing or tuning
required. As an appliance, all of the integration of hardware, software and
storage is done for you, leading to shorter deployment cycles and faster time
to value for BI and analytic initiatives. The appliance is delivered ready-to-go
for immediate data loading and query execution and integrates with all leading
ETL, BI and analytic applications through standard ODBC, JDBC and OLE DB interfaces.
Simplicity
Netezza simplifies analytics dramatically by consolidating all analytic activity
in the appliance, right where the data resides. Moving analytics to TwinFin
is straightforward with Netezza's i-Class technology. The i-Class technology
supports a breadth of analytic tools, such as SAS and R and programming languages
such as Java, Python or Fortran, and offers powerful engines and analytic libraries
that execute analytics in parallel while hiding the complexity of parallel programming
from developers. Netezza eliminates complexity at every step so you can redirect
valuable resources to the initiatives that will actually impact the bottom line.
