At Netezza, we believe that data warehousing shouldn’t be this complicated. Instead of spending time making data warehouses run efficiently, Netezza users deploy purpose-built data warehouse appliances that solve business problems. Netezza data warehouse appliances are installed quickly and easily, integrate with your preferred ETL and BI tools and can be largely left alone to get on with the job.

Netezza appliances provide a database-server-storage configuration in a purpose-built system designed to perform complex queries against large volumes of stored data. Netezza data warehouse appliances are designed for blisteringly fast analysis against terabytes of data 10-100 times faster than traditional solutions, with a lower TCO and greater ease of use. Netezza uses massively parallel processing and an architecture that puts processing right inside storage to provide a brute force solution that can deal with complex analytics against large data volumes.
