NYSE Euronext Deploys Netezza

FRAMINGHAM, Mass. -- 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 (NPS®) streaming analytic™ 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.”
