Threats to national security have never been more intense, more serious, more global. Accurate, targeted threat forecasting is critical to stopping an attack, saving lives and resources. Volumes of information collected and needing to be quickly analyzed will grow exponentially and the Intelligence Community (IC) needs a data management and analytic infrastructure that can handle real-time, comprehensive analyses for a faster time-to-solution.

The Netezza Performance Server® (NPS®) system provides IC agencies with an extremely powerful, affordable and easy-to-administer solution for analyzing terabytes of data and delivering real-time results. The NPS system lets agencies analyze ALL the data — no sampling or summarizing — so subtleties are not missed. At 10-100x faster and half the cost of traditional systems, the NPS system gives the IC the power to quickly and thoroughly mine volumes of data for:

• Semantic network analysis
  
• Fraud detection
  
• Trend analysis and pattern identification
  
• CDR analysis

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), one of the United States' premier research and development institutions for science and technology applied to national security, used Netezza to search a massive semantic graph that helps determine relationships between objects by storing nodes (the object) and how they link to other objects (an edge). The graph consisted of 300 billion edges and eleven billion nodes, making it the largest known graph search to date. LLNL's computer scientists ran level-set expansion and bi-directional, breadth-first search against the data on a Netezza system, and over 90% of the searches were completed in less than five minutes. This provided evidence of Netezza's ability to scale for managing and analyzing the largest data sets. Learn more>>
