Welcome back, folks.
My name is Luv Aggarwal with IBM.
Today, I'm excited to share with you Netezza as a fully managed service on cloud.
So let me start with what Netezza users already know
and what has always made it the enterprise data warehouse of choice,
things like speed, simplicity and agility.
The community loves these aspects about Netezza,
and while we have doubled down on them to make them better,
users also wanted to see a few new things
to help them modernize their data strategy and bring data warehousing into the age of cloud.
Users asked for a fully managed, price performant offering
that provides them with on-demand, elastic scaling
and consumption-based billing on public clouds.
We listened to this feedback and incorporated it into Netezza as a fully managed service on cloud.
This massively parallel processing, high performance cloud data warehouse
runs the next generation Netezza database engine.
This means users can now enjoy the same hardened and performant Netezza engine they trust to run their critical workloads on
and combine it with the benefits of a cloud native solution.
So, let's talk about what's new.
Simplicity.
As a fully managed cloud native offering,
Netezza as a service abstracts away the complexities of optimizing the underlying resources,
including CPU, disk and network infrastructure.
Users really only need two units.
These being how fast you want to go and how much data you need.
Everything else is fully abstracted and managed by us.
Load and go with no tuning and no indexing.
Existing Netezza customers enjoy risk free and frictionless upgrades with a single command.
Granular, elastic scaling.
We have brought incredibly granular, elastic scaling capabilities to the platform.
This allows you to apply computational power only when you need it.
Users select the performance characteristics that meet their workload requirements
and can increase or decrease performance as workload demand ebbs and flows.
You also have the ability to pause and resume resources as needed,
as well as AutoPause to scale down when the platform is idle.
Storage density can be increased independently of performance demands as capacity needs require.
This is opposed to other offerings that scale exponentially,
with fixed T-shirt sizes leading to overprovisioning of resources and unanticipated costs.
Our unique approach gives you linear performance, scaling and cost predictability in the cloud.
You only pay for what you need and when you need it.
Speed.
Netezza as a service is designed specifically for running complex analytics on very large data volumes.
It's unique, massively parallel processing architecture,
combined with hybrid columnar acceleration assist
delivers blistering fast query performance on highly complex mixed analytical workloads.
Sophistication.
This one is all about operationalizing data science and machine learning at scale.
Netezza brings analytics to the data.
It's rich 200+ built-in analytics capabilities
support all major languages such as Python, R, Java and more.
Data scientists and analyst teams can build models that operate on data,
predict and score directly inside the database instead of having to offload it to a separate environment
and deal with the associated preprocessing and transformations.
For users ready to move from their Netezza appliances to the managed as a service offering,
it could not be easier.
Upgrade risk-free to Netezza as a service with a single command.
Start enjoying granular elastic scaling,
superior price performance and cost predictability in the cloud with a sophisticated cloud data warehouse
that provides best in class analytics capabilities to drive your business goals.
