For almost 20 years, Netezza technology has been at the forefront of advanced analytics, even as field of analytics has grown. New database architectures, vast increases in processing power, new tools and far more sources of data have combined to transform analytics. 

In this landscape of change, Netezza technology has evolved as well. After originating as a purely transactional database system, Netezza built the industry’s first true “data warehouse appliance,” rapidly increasing users’ ability to use different kinds of data while focusing on core strengths of simplicity, speed and low cost of ownership. Netezza added support for major programming languages, including Hadoop MapReduce, Java, C++ and Python, so data scientists could efficiently work in languages they already knew. With these developments, Netezza grew from simply supporting data reports to becoming an analytics engine for the entire range of business data. 

Now, the trend of Netezza innovation continues, raising new opportunities for accessibility and analytic insight while preserving business continuity. Support for Netezza TwinFin and Striper models will end as early as June 2019, potentially leaving business-critical data in unsupported environments. Yet there’s no need for long-time Netezza customers to take those risks. The next stage in Netezza’s evolution has already arrived. 

The IBM Integrated Analytics System (IAS) takes the best of Netezza and adds compelling features and capabilities.
