Netezza, the global leader in analytic appliances, enables business users across the extended enterprise to leverage the power of high-performance analytics on all their data, simply and affordably, for competitive and operational advantage. The Netezza Performance Server® (NPS®) family of streaming analytic™ appliances brings appliance simplicity to a broad range of complex data warehouse and analytic challenges.

Architecturally integrating relational database, server and storage into the compact and power-efficient Netezza Performance Server® (NPS®) system, the NPS system delivers 10-100x the performance of traditional systems. The system's performance advantage comes from its patented streaming technology, which puts processing power right at the source, next to the data, so it can be processed "on stream" - at streaming speeds with minimal data movement.

Convergent is a Netezza system integration partner in Europe.  Building on our reputation as performance specialists, the Netezza partnership allows us to help clients assess new opportunities for analyzing information beyond what can be done currently with conventional data warehouses and processing systems by leveraging the huge performance power of Netezza Performance Server (NPS).

Convergent can assist clients with an initial proof-of-concept or pilot and then manage the full deployment and migration to the NPS platform, providing the backend ETL integration and data migration, as well as the integration of front-end applications  and preferred business analytics tools.
