Stockholm, Sweden — November 28, 2006 — Netezza Corporation, the global data warehouse appliance market leader, today announced that is has signed a partnership agreement with BizIntel. The Sweden-based company, a leading provider of Business Intelligence and data warehouse solutions with a number of major business names as customers, will resell the Netezza Performance Server® (NPS®) family of systems across the Nordics.

“The cost savings that customers will realise by using the NPS system are substantial and immediate,” said Mats Tarning, director at BizIntel. “Internal staff resource levels and the amount of time needed to manage the data warehouse environment are greatly reduced, but customers are also attracted to the dramatic increase in processing power. The sheer speed of the system allows users to quickly summarise complex business queries and significantly accelerates the delivery of business critical reports and intelligence. The NPS appliance not only brings with it a major technology shift, which we believe will enable businesses to completely change the way they analyse and use data, but it also introduces the next industry shift in data warehousing.”

“This partnership allows us to extend our European footprint and further enhances Netezza’s worldwide customer focus,” added Dave Kloc, General Manager for Netezza in Northern Europe. “The key frustration for businesses experiencing rapid growth is the spiralling cost of managing increased levels of data. The NPS system is designed to scale with our customers’ businesses as they grow, ensuring that high performance levels can continue to be met whilst the costs of managing data are controlled. BizIntel has recognised the benefits that the Netezza solution can bring to its customer base and we’re looking forward to working with such a visionary partner to ensure business success in this territory.”

The NPS system is the market-leading data warehouse appliance, built specifically to analyse terabytes of detailed data 10 to 100 times faster than existing data warehouse options, at half the cost. The NPS system stores, filters and processes terabytes of records within a single unit, analysing only the relevant information for each query. Netezza has placed the CPU power next to the data, allowing the NPS system to speed through processes that would occupy most data warehouse systems for hours, or even days, thereby enabling dramatic increases in productivity across the organisation. Customers who have recognized the benefits of Netezza’s approach include Ahold, Amazon.com, Cingular Wireless, CNET Networks, Debenhams, Department of Veterans Affairs, Epsilon, Orange UK, Pipex, Premier, Inc., Shoppers Drug Mart Corporation, The Carphone Warehouse and The TJX Companies.
