Netezza and Kalido Deliver Model-Driven Data Warehouse Appliance

03/10/2009

• Netezza Corporation (NYSE Arca: NZ) and Kalido today announced a strategic partnership to deliver high-performance data warehouse solutions in an automated and flexible BI architecture with a low total cost of ownership (TCO). Large enterprises now have access to the market-leading performance of Netezza coupled with Kalido’s flexible, fully governed data warehouse software. Under the terms of the partnership, Kalido will release a version of its award-winning Kalido® Information Engine™ that will be certified to run on Netezza appliances.



• As part of the partnership, Netezza and Kalido will collaborate to develop industry-specific solutions to meet key business requirements across a number of industries, including life sciences, financial services and consumer packaged goods. These solutions will be based on the best practices of both companies and delivered with pre-built models, load processes and dashboards.



• The Kalido Information Engine is the industry’s most advanced and comprehensive platform for design, development and operation of well-governed data warehouses. Kalido’s Business Information Modeler provides collaboration between IT and business users to deliver up to the minute business requirements and ensure end-to-end consistency of data definitions. By deploying Kalido together with Netezza data warehouse appliances, customers now can have industry-leading performance and scalability, as well as the confidence that their data is accurate, consistent and relevant.



• Joint customers will significantly reduce the time and effort needed to build a data warehouse: Netezza automates much of the database administration activities, such as hardware configuration and tuning, while Kalido automates much of the development, such as physical schema management, data load, exception management, integrated master data management and BI configuration.



• In addition, the solution can quickly meet new business requirements for joint customers: Netezza scales out to handle new data sets, while Kalido’s automation and flexibility reduce the cost of implementing enhancements by as much as 95 percent.
