#Netezza admin tool software
The bundling of the ICP4D software and NPS achieves more than legacy Netezza could deliver. NPS has all of the strengths of the legacy Netezza solutions (TwinFin, Striper, and Mako) but has removed many of the weaknesses, the largest of which was the lack of expandability without purchasing an additional appliance. OpenShift contributes a common orchestration layer and allows IBM to build more unified common functions such as administration, security and logging. The ICP4D uses a containerized / hybrid cloud architecture where expanded processing needs can be delivered within the hyperconverged system, on another set of on-premise infrastructure or on the cloud.Īll ICP4D components, as well as the NPS host, are containerized, running on Red Hat LINUX (RHEL) and OpenShift. ICP4D is designed so that workloads do not affect the NPS processing / performance and vice versa. The ICP4D solution includes data collection, virtualization, refinement, governance, data warehousing, and an advanced analytics platform. The solution also includes infrastructure, adding NPS processing nodes to the ICP4D System base. It is a bundled architecture of software including the NPS / Netezza core software and broad new analytics and data processing capabilities within the IBM Cloud Pak for Data (ICP4D). NPS takes a large step towards making the platform more flexible and robust, while at the same time holding true to the past. The formal IBM name is Netezza Performance Server but for ease of conversation we will refer to it as NPS. The Evolution of Netezza to Netezza Performance Server Thankfully last year, seemingly about the same time IBM acquired Red Hat, a new Netezza offering was announced: the Netezza Performance Server (NPS). It was quite a blow to the Netezza community, as the solution had an almost religious following. There were some decisions about two years ago which led me to believe that Netezza was all but dead at IBM. The answer to the question is, “Netezza is still alive, well, and evolving, but now is being marketed under a new name, Netezza Performance Server.” There are some people, like me, who like to know how the story ends and thus may occasionally read the last chapter before going back and reading the rest of the book.
