TIBCO Spotfire Partners With Netezza to Enable Customers to Dynamically Visualize, Analyze Massive Data Sets
Companies Will Deliver Higher-Performance, Lower-Cost Solutions That Address Customers' Data Management Concerns
| Source: TIBCO Software Inc.
SOMERVILLE, MA--(Marketwire - September 29, 2009) - TIBCO Software Inc. (NASDAQ : TIBX ) today
announced certification of the TIBCO Spotfire®
Enterprise Analytics Platform with the Netezza® TwinFin™ appliance, the first in a
family of new blade server-based appliances. The integrated solution from
TIBCO and Netezza combines high performance data access and data
transformations with robust data mining and computational analytics. This
puts the power of predictive analytics into the hands of any business user,
with interactive data visualizations they can easily understand. With the
volume of enterprise data growing exponentially, this level of speed and
interactivity is unmatched by traditional business intelligence (BI) and
data warehousing technology.
The TwinFin appliance scales to more than a petabyte of user data and
delivers orders of magnitude better performance than competing solutions.
In an environment where corporate decision making is based on massive
data-driven analyses, the Netezza TwinFin appliance delivers unmatched
performance -- at half the cost -- of traditional data warehouse systems.
"Our customers use Netezza to simplify how they deal with their growing
data and overcome the limitations of their current analytics and data
warehousing systems," said Phil Francisco, vice president of product
management at Netezza. "At a time when companies need to be as agile as
possible to react to changing market conditions and growing analytic
demands, TIBCO and Netezza are giving customers superior intelligence and
foresight. This will fundamentally change the way organizations leverage
large-scale data warehouses to make faster, more informed decisions."
"Adoption of traditional BI platforms has been hampered by the lack of deep
integration with business processes and reliance on typically static
information in the data warehouse," said Lars Bauerle, vice president of
product management at TIBCO Spotfire. "By combining TIBCO Spotfire's
industry-leading enterprise analytics software with Netezza, we are
enabling any decision maker to access critical data and instantly perform
on-the-fly analysis, and find insights that have a direct impact on company
performance. This is setting a new standard for enterprises looking to
turn complex data and transactions into critical business insights."
TIBCO Spotfire will be participating in Netezza Enzee Universe 2009, a
worldwide, seven-city tour, when it stops in Chicago on September 29th. The
Enzee Universe agenda includes technical deep dives on new products, a
variety of perspectives on TwinFin's impact on the industry, best
practices, and real-life success stories. For more information, visit
