Exclusive: A partnership will combine EMC's Clariion storage with Netezza's data warehouse appliance.LAS VEGASData warehouse
appliance vendor Netezza May 20 will announce its biggest business partnership
to date, an OEM agreement with EMC, the
world's largest storage infrastructure company.
Netezza will include EMC's Clariion network
storage in its data warehouse appliance as part of the OEM deal to deliver new
appliance-based packages designed to simplify the aggregation of business
intelligence across the enterprise.
BI in this sense is the aggregation of information stored in an enterprise
system that can be used to business advantage by the system owner.
"This a great opportunity for both companies," Phil Francisco,
Netezza's vice president of product management and marketing, told eWEEK. "This
new partnership bolsters our capability to automate enterprise data management
operations for our customers and will allow us to further increase our footprint
in the market through comarketing initiatives."
EMC enters data warehousing
EMC, strangely enough, has no data
warehousing products and services leading up to this partnership.
EMC President and CEO
Joe Tucci, responding to eWEEK during a question-and-answer press conference on
May 19, denied that his company would be getting into the BI sector anytime
soon, however.
"There's already a lot of players in that market," Tucci said. "We're
going to stick to the infrastructure side of the business and partner for the
BI needs."
Hence the deal with Netezza, EMC's newest
partner. The companies' corporate headquarters are located near each other in Massachusetts,
with Netezza's in Framingham and EMC's
in Hopkinton.
EMC is continuing a hot streak of financial success. Click here to read about what CEO Joe Tucci says is coming next.
Netezza will combine the EMC Clariion AX4
network storage array with the Netezza Performance Server data warehouse
appliance to deliver new configurations that address new enterprise operational
demands, Francisco said.
These configurations will deliver near-line storage capacity and data staging
capability for loading, backup and disaster recovery activities, allowing
customers to stage large-scale data movement operations at whatever time they
deem best, he said. Most large-scale conventional data movement operations must
be conducted late at night or on weekends, mandating inconvenient work hours
for IT staff members.
"By offering customers a flexible and scalable way to fundamentally
simplify critical and complex data center operations, Netezza will provide a
simplified way for customers to approach these functions," said Chuck
Hollis, EMC's vice president and global
marketing chief technology officer.
These configurations will be sold, delivered, deployed and supported as
integral capabilities of the Netezza appliance. The new EMC-Netezza
configurations will be available in the second half of 2008, Francisco said.
