NETEZZA CTO JUSTIN LINDSEY AND LLNL RESEARCH PROGRAM MANAGER JOHN R. JOHNSON TO SPEAK AT SC07 CONFERENCE

As data volumes continue to grow and the demand for delivering detailed analyses quickly is ever-increasing, organizations are seeing better ways to manage this data and deliver the most powerful insight possible. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is leveraging the streaming analytic architecture that Netezza provides to power its advanced data analyses. By offloading computationally-intensive tasks to the Netezza Performance Server® (NPS®) streaming analytic appliance, the ability to churn through terabytes of data quickly is now a reality.

In his presentation, Lindsey will be joined by John R. Johnson, research program manager, Center for Applied Scientific Computing, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Both speakers will discuss the background behind advanced analytics applications and their applicability in super computing environments.
