Global Exchange Leader Implements Streaming Analytic Appliances for High-Performance Analysis on 200 TB of Data; Joins Growing List of 50+TB Deployments
Framingham, Mass. — October 29, 2007 — Netezza Corporation (NYSE Arca: NZ), the global leader in analytic appliances, today announced that NYSE Euronext has chosen Netezza to provide enhanced scalability for its growing data volumes. NYSE Euronext is launching several enterprise-critical applications on Netezza Performance Server® (NPS®) streaming analytic™ appliances to enable improved organizational operations, investigate potential trading anomalies and identify market trends. NYSE Euronext joins a growing list of Netezza customers, including Catalina Marketing and Epsilon, who have deployed 50 terabytes or more on the NPS systems, validating the appliance approach for VLDB deployments.
NYSE Euronext operates the world's largest and most liquid exchange group and offers the most diverse array of financial products and services, bringing together six cash equities exchanges in five countries and six derivatives exchanges.
“With data volumes growing at 100 to 200 percent each year, we worried about scalability and performance issues with our previous data warehouse environment, which was also very complex and expensive to maintain,” said Brian Clark, chief architect and managing director at NYSE Euronext. “Netezza’s simplicity allowed us to quickly implement the NPS systems. With the incredible performance benefits and improved time to market we are now realizing, we can easily keep pace as data volumes spike. Netezza has simplified our entire data warehouse environment.”
“In the intense exchange market, millions of people around the world rely on the ability to access up-to-date, accurate information,” said Jit Saxena, chairman and CEO at Netezza. “We are pleased that NYSE Euronext has turned to Netezza to provide the performance, scalability and reliability that it needs to satisfy its customers and ensure a fair trading market.”
Designed specifically for high-performance, terascale analytics, the NPS system architecturally integrates a relational database, server and storage into a single compact and power-efficient unit. The system’s advantage comes from its patented Intelligent Query Streaming™ design. Netezza has placed processing power next to the data, so analysis occurs at the source at streaming speeds, delivering an unprecedented 10-100 times the performance of traditional systems at a fraction of the cost. Analyses that took days now take just seconds. This means a dramatic increase in productivity across the enterprise and faster time to value for business initiatives. Netezza appliances are changing the way organizations leverage information, creating a powerful analytic foundation for a new generation of business analytics that improve strategic decision-making and drive results.
