BOSTON, MA — ENZEE UNIVERSE — June 21, 2010 — Netezza Corporation (NYSE: NZ), the global leader in data warehouse, analytic and monitoring appliances, and with Fuzzy Logix, LLC, a leading provider of advanced analytical solutions, today announced that Catalina Marketing is using Fuzzy Logix’s in-database analytics library DB Lytix™ on the Netezza® TwinFin™ i Class™ enabled data warehouse appliance to deliver custom analytics for market basket analysis. By exploiting the performance of in-database analytics, Catalina expects to gain deeper insights into consumer purchase decisions and positively transform the application of analytics in the retail sector. The DB Lytix platform represents one of the first implementations of the Netezza i-Class module of advanced analytics.

“Netezza continues to be an important Catalina business partner with a proven track record of delivering innovative appliances; and, we are experiencing the same significant improvements in custom analytics due to in-database analytics. Fuzzy Logix’s DB Lytix running on the Netezza TwinFin appliance, reduced cycle time for a key process, market basket analysis, from a multiple-hour run-time to finishing in minutes - an impressive enhancement considering this process covers 52 weeks, 80,000 products and 20,000,000 IDs,” said Ryan Carr, Vice President of Predictive Modeling and Analytic Systems at Catalina Marketing,. “We are excited to be partnering with Fuzzy Logix and Netezza, and we look forward to the value deeper data analysis, advanced trend spotting techniques and the ability to build custom analytical models will bring to our business.”

DB Lytix is the result of more than ten years of extensive research on advanced analytical methods, and contains functions for mathematical and statistical analysis, data mining, and Monte Carlo simulations. DB Lytix leverages the high performance throughput of Netezza’s appliances and utilizes in-database analytics on Netezza’s shared-nothing Asymmetric Massively Parallel Processing™ architecture for tremendous gains in speed.

Prat Moghe, Netezza’s Senior Vice President of Strategy and New Markets, agrees, “Fuzzy Logix was an early adopter of our i-Class in-database analytics vision and ported their in-database analytics library DB Lytix to the Netezza platform. We are pleased that Catalina has recognized the full potential of DB Lytix for very large sets of data on the Netezza platform. We are confident that many more enterprises will take notice of the power of in-database analytics and use it for gaining valuable insights from their enterprise data warehouse.”

According to Partha Sen, CEO of Fuzzy Logix, “We are glad that we could provide a competitive edge to Catalina with our technology. We are very excited to be working with Catalina and hope to help them develop innovative and insightful analytical models.”
