NYSE Euronext Achieves Large-Scale Data Management with Netezza



    Netezza Corporation (NYSE Arca: NZ), the global leader in analytic
    appliances, today announced that NYSE Euronext has chosen Netezza to
    provide enhanced scalability for its growing data volumes. NYSE
    Euronext is launching several enterprise-critical applications on
    Netezza Performance Server(R) (NPS(R)) streaming analytic(TM)
    appliances to enable improved organizational operations, investigate
    potential trading anomalies and identify market trends. NYSE Euronext
    joins a growing list of Netezza customers, including Catalina
    Marketing and Epsilon, who have deployed 50 terabytes or more on the
    NPS systems, validating the appliance approach for VLDB deployments.

    NYSE Euronext operates the world´s largest and most liquid
    exchange group and offers the most diverse array of financial products
    and services, bringing together six cash equities exchanges in five
    countries and six derivatives exchanges.

    "With data volumes growing at 100 to 200 percent each year, we
    worried about scalability and performance issues with our previous
    data warehouse environment, which was also very complex and expensive
    to maintain," said Brian Clark, chief architect and managing director
    at NYSE Euronext. "Netezza´s simplicity allowed us to quickly
    implement the NPS systems. With the incredible performance benefits
    and improved time to market we are now realizing, we can easily keep
    pace as data volumes spike. Netezza has simplified our entire data
    warehouse environment."

    "In the intense exchange market, millions of people around the
    world rely on the ability to access up-to-date, accurate information,"
    said Jit Saxena, chairman and CEO. "We are pleased that NYSE Euronext
    has turned to Netezza to provide the performance, scalability and
    reliability that it needs to satisfy its customers and ensure a fair
    trading market."

    Designed specifically for high-performance, terascale analytics,
    the NPS system architecturally integrates a relational database,
    server and storage into a single compact and power-efficient unit. The
    system´s advantage comes from its patented Intelligent Query
    Streaming(TM) design. Netezza has placed processing power next to the
    data, so analysis occurs at the source at streaming speeds, delivering
    an unprecedented 10-100 times the performance of traditional systems
    at a fraction of the cost. Analyses that took days now take just
    seconds. This means a dramatic increase in productivity across the
    enterprise and faster time to value for business initiatives. Netezza
    appliances are changing the way organizations leverage information,
    creating a powerful analytic foundation for a new generation of
    business analytics that improve strategic decision-making and drive
    results.
