This document provides an overview of the IBM PureData System for Analytics (formerly known as IBM Netezza). It discusses that Netezza is a pre-configured data warehousing appliance that simplifies data warehousing and provides massively parallel processing. It also includes course outlines on using and administering Netezza.

3. Datawarehouse Appliance
What is Netezza?
H/W & S/W pre-bundled, pre-configured
Little configuration needed after deployment
Solves the traditional datawarehouse complexities!

4. Traditional DW Complexities!

5. Netezza Appliance: Datawarehousing simplified!

8. Netezza Architecture (major) Principles
Processing close to the data source
Balanced massively parallel architecture
Appliance Simplicity
Flexible configurations and extreme scalability

S-Blade: Where extreme performance happens

11. AMPP Architecture

12. What happens when you submit a query?

13. What happens when you submit a query?
Host compiles the query & divides into snippets
Optimizer creates a query execution plan by making intelligent decisions like join order/
redistribution/broadcast
Each snippet has two elements: Compiled code & FPGA parameters
Object Cache: Improves query performance. You can avoid code compilation
Scheduler: Maintains maximum utilization and throughput
S-Blades execute these snippets in parallel. Sends the results back to host
Host accumulates the results and results will be returned to Client …
