IBM Netezza High Capacity Appliance

Petabyte-scale data warehouse and analytics appliance

IBM® Netezza® High Capacity Appliance is a petabyte-scale data warehouse solution that allows you to store, query and analyze multiple petabytes of data quickly and cost-effectively. The software runs analytic computations directly in the data warehouse, without moving data, to ensure maximum performance.

IBM Netezza High Capacity Appliance manages information throughout its lifecycle, enabling you to meet a range of analytics and historical data storage requirements.

Maximizes performance—by running massively parallelized query and analytic workloads.
Simple to manage—easy to install, needs minimal tuning and requires few administration tasks.
Converges analytics and archiving—allows querying and analysis of historical and archival data.
Compatible with business intelligence and analytic platforms—to improve data integration and analysis.

Maximizes performance

Provides an asymmetric massively parallel processing (AMPP) architecture that combines open, blade-based servers and disk storage with data filtering using field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs).
Processes SQL queries in parallel on up to 64 pairs of CPU cores and FPGA cores.
Includes IBM Netezza Analytics, an embedded software platform that runs parallelized, in-database advanced analytic algorithms.
Provides data loading at rates of up to 5.5 terabytes per hour.
Offers workload management to simplify capacity sharing between workloads.

Simple to manage

Comes preconfigured, and is typically ready to load data in less than 24 hours.
Eliminates administrative tasks such as query indexing, storage management, memory allocation and schema optimization.
Allows you to query and analyze large amounts of data with no monitoring or tuning required.
Provides up to 10 petabytes of user data capacity in a compact footprint.

Converges analytics and archiving

Creates an archive that can be queried, enabling your organization to retain and quickly retrieve historical data.
