The Netezza TwinFin™ system is the fourth generation Netezza appliance that once again sets the standard for price/performance for data warehousing and business intelligence (BI). TwinFin is a purpose-built, standards-based data appliance that architecturally integrates database, server and storage into a single, easy to manage system. TwinFin is designed for rapid analysis of data volumes scaling into the petabytes, delivering 10-100x performance improvements at a third of the cost of other options available from traditional database vendors. Netezza TwinFin is also the first data warehouse appliance to offer built-in data compliance and security of sensitive data. With growing data volumes, it’s critical that organizations have visibility into who is accessing information and why it is being accessed.

TwinFin delivers high performance out of the box, with no indexing or tuning required. It is delivered ready-to-go for immediate data loading and query execution and integrates with all leading ETL, BI and analytic applications through standard ODBC, JDBC and OLE DB interfaces. TwinFin is easily rolled into your data center, plugged in and ready to load data in a matter of hours. And the newest edition to the Netezza product family, TwinFin i-Class, has advanced analytic capabilities built into the core TwinFin system.
