Architecturally integrating relational database, server and storage, the Netezza Performance Server® (NPS®) data warehouse appliance stores, filters and processes terabytes of data within a single unit, analyzing only the relevant information for each query, delivering 10-100 times the performance — at half the cost — of traditional data warehouse systems from Oracle, IBM, Teradata and others. The system's advantage is in its patented streaming technology: Netezza has placed processing power next to the data, so data analysis occurs at the source at streaming speeds, delivering an unprecedented boost in performance. Analyses that took days now take just seconds. This means a dramatic increase in productivity across the organization. Time isn't spent running queries and maintaining the database; it's spent leveraging business intelligence to make smarter business decisions, ask better questions and, ultimately, make more money.

The NPS appliance combines commodity hardware components with Linux and a high-performance database, resulting in dramatically lower total cost of ownership. In addition, the standards-based NPS system offers simplicity and elegance: the entire system comes in a self-contained, single-vendor rack that integrates easily into existing BI environments; its "load and go" implementation process takes hours, not weeks; and there's no need for intensive database administration and system management. In short, the NPS system is a fast, affordable data warehouse appliance that's easy to deploy, use and maintain, offering organizations a distinct competitive advantage and the power to question everything.
