Netezza: Translates Results
Ashwini Kachapeswaran
The NPS is now the buzz among the data warehousing community. In the short time since it began shipping the NPS data warehouse appliance in early 2003, Netezza has sold over 50 systems to companies around the world.
The growing market, complex transactions, wide customer and supplier base and the need for dynamic data to make business sense has opened the world of data warehousing for Jitendra Saxena, CEO and Co-Founder of Netezza.
“We looked at the market and felt it would be a good opportunity to integrate hardware and software,” says Saxena, about his shift from software to hardware cum software market.
“We look at our product as an appliance that integrates both hardware and software,” says Saxena, also the founder of Applix systems, a global provider of Business Performance Management and Business Intelligence solutions.
The NPS system stores, filters and processes terabytes of records within a single unit, analyzing only the queried data for each query. Netezza has placed the processor power next to the data, allowing the NPS system to speed through processes that would occupy most data warehouse systems for hours, or even days. This enables dramatic increases in productivity across the organization.
