What would be possible in your world if you had a database that could  use all of the information relevant to your analysis: as much business  history as you have; all telemetry data generated each day; every  customer action and interaction? What if you did not need to have  specialized expertise to use such a high powered tool? What if you could  accurately predict, in advance, how long this tool would take to answer  your hardest problem (even when the answer is not 42!)?

I  would like to introduce you to the Netezza TwinFin analytic appliance.  As an appliance the TwinFin is designed for a particular function -  turning your data into useful information. This is more than just  looking into the rear-view mirror to see what has happened. It is the  ability to take millions and billions of events and identify patterns  such as network security breaches from 30 days of cflow and DPI data;  answer what-if questions like the bank that wants to figure out the  impact of reducing the hold time on uncleared credit card  authorizations; and predict your customers' future behavior like the  mobile carrier combining subscriber experience at the network level with  analysis of call center interactions, CDRs and call forwarding  configuration to determine those subscribers at the highest risk to  churn in the next 30 days.

The Netezza TwinFin delivers  these capabilities with a focus on very high performance, providing  excellent business value, in an appliance package that is simple to  install, deploy and operate. Customers that have migrated their analytic  application to Netezza routinely tell us that 80% or more of their  DBA's time is freed up to focus on business problems instead of internal  database and table management. The TwinFin does this with several  incredibly powerful technologies including field programmable gate  arrays (FPGAs) deployed in an asymmetric massively parallel,  shared-nothing architecture controlled by an advanced SQL language  parser and optimizer.

Just like the fuel-injection in  your car, or the aerodynamics of lift in an airplane, you don't need to  know what these are or how they work to take advantage of them to get  you where you need to go. The Netezza TwinFin analytic appliance  delivers its functionality in a package for which you already have  expertise. It is deployed on an IP network and programmed with SQL. It  is already integrated with most data management and reporting tools and  will integrate right into your existing environment.

So  take your biggest data set, your toughest queries and get to know the  TwinFin. We love nothing more than the opportunity to show you in  person. Visit us at http://www.netezza.com/testdrive/ and get to know the TwinFin at your site.
