NETEZZA
Crossing the terabyte threshold requires
more than just a data capture (OLTP) database and a hot
server. There is only so far this 'fat node' approach can
go.
The world's largest data warehouses, which
exceed hundreds of terabytes, almost all run on massively
parallel processing (MPP) systems which split the query
workload up into small manageable chunks.
The Netezza NPS server range comes
in one box as a data 'appliance' - server, storage and database.
Just imagine a single cabinet capable of
storing terabytes of user data with impressive query performance.
Setup, administration, application development and querying
are all simplicity itself. In fact, from the back of the
lorry to loading data usually takes just 2-3 hours.
Leading Edge were one of the first System
Integrators in the world to have successfully deployed Netezza
NPS solutions.
Leading Edge provided the Professional Services to Caudwell
Communications with regards to their Netezza deployment.
