Analytics in Database: Simplify the Effort, Power Up the Capability
Beyond reporting and manipulation of aggregated data through reports or dashboards, the need for more advanced analytics is being felt. Previously the reserve of highly specialized "quants," analytics is moving to center stage as the next "must have" technology. Unfortunately, current tools are not optimized for either a greater level of activity or for the massive data sets now routinely created in data warehouses. |

Bloor 'InComparison' White Paper
HP and Oracle have recently announced the HP Oracle Database Machine. This has been positioned by Oracle as a competitor to Netezza and in this paper we examine the extent to which this is true and, if it is, where and when it might make sense to use the HP Oracle Database Machine. Conversely, we will also consider when it would be appropriate to invest in a Netezza-based solution. |

Concurrency & Workload Management in Netezza
Today's data warehousing and business intelligence environments increasingly require the online sharing of data among multiple users at the same time. As organizations drive to make business intelligence more operational, they are extending access to business intelligence data and analytics across the enterprise – to front-line staff, partners and customers – in addition to the more traditional data warehouse users such as executives and financial and business analysts. The goal is to integrate business intelligence analytics within business processes to improve intraday decision making. |

Data-Centric
Computing with the Netezza Architecture
While
relational databases have become critically important
in business applications and web services, they have played
a relatively minor role in scientific computing, which
has generally been concerned with modeling and simulation
activities. However, massively parallel database architectures
are beginning to offer the ability to quickly search through
terabytes of data with hundred-fold or even thousand-fold
speedup over server-based architectures. These new machines
may enable an entirely new class of algorithms for scientific
applications, especially when the fundamental computation
involves searching through abstract graphs. |

Today, the stakes and challenges have increased. A number of experts believe the new shopping habits of this time will continue long after the economy has stabilized and even improved. As a result, it's likely the need to be super aggressive in retail merchandising,marketing, supply chain, stores and management will continue. |

The Green Revolution
in Data Warehousing: The Power, Cooling and Footprint
Advantages of the Netezza Analytic Appliance
Skyrocketing power costs and finite
power availability are forcing many companies to re-examine
their IT strategies and budgets. With their intense workload
— dozens or hundreds of processors and
large numbers of spinning disk drives straining over massive
queries — data warehouse systems based on general-purpose
designs have long been one of the major consumers of power.
As data volumes continue to grow and complexity of the
enterprise analytic environment increases, companies will
continue striving for a competitive edge through better-performing
data warehousing and analytic infrastructures. The Netezza
analytic appliance
redefines energy efficiency in data warehousing, while
providing cost-effective query performance beyond the
reach of other systems. |

Warehousing Web Analytics — Semphonic in partnership with Netezza
Innovation in the use of online data via traditional web analytics solutions has plateaued – focusing primarily on reporting basic facts about aggregated site usage. From long experience with Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Business Intelligence (BI), it is clear that aggregate reporting alone represents only a fraction of the opportunity to create value from the collection and analysis of customer behavior. Integrating site behaviors with additional customer information, understanding visitor mindset via current behavior, and driving customer contact via intelligent analysis of that behavior are the applications that drive the most value to the organization. This paper highlights why Netezza's DataWarehouse (DW) Appliances have significant advantages in the web analytics domain. |
