WHY MOVE THE DATA TO THE ANALYTICS WHEN YOU CAN MOVE

THE ANALYTICS TO THE DATA?

Analyzing large volume of data presents

numerous challenges – it is time consuming,

very expensive and requires management of

complex technology infrastructure. And yet,

analyzing large volumes of data is what busi-

nesses most desperately need today! In traditional

approaches for analyzing data, end-users must

move data into memory for processing. � is

activity often accounts for up to 75% of the cycle

time and imposes severe constraints on delivery

of results. In addition, the client or server where

the processing is done must have enough memory

to store the data and intermediate results. Large

unwieldy and expensive solutions have been devised

and implemented using this approach, but there is a

more elegant solution by using OnStream analytics on

Netezza and taking the analytics to the data instead.

INTRODUCING DB LYTIX™ ON NETEZZA – POWERED

BY OnStream™

DB Lytix™ is an in-database computation engine

powered by the OnStream capability of Netezza

Performance Server. DB Lytix™ allows you to per-

form analytics within your database, which means

you don’t have to move the data from storage to

memory and therefore, you don’t have to build

large computational infrastructure with serv-

ers, blades and load balancing software. Just

deploy DB Lytix™ on your Netezza appliance,

and you instantly have the ability to per-

form advanced analytics through simple

SELECT and EXECUTE statements.

USING DB LYTIX™ HAS MULTIPLE ADVANTAGES:

RICH REPOSITORY OF FUNCTIONS: DB Lytix™

contains a very rich collection of functions. From sim-

ple statistical analysis to Monte Carlo simulations to

pattern recognition, DB Lytix™ provides the required

functions to do it all. � e DB Lytix™ library consists

of the following:

• Mathematical and Statistical functions

• Monte Carlo Simulations- univariate and

multivariate

• Data Mining & Pattern Recognition

Principal Component Analysis, Linear Regres-

sion, Logistic Regression, Other supervised

learning methods, and Clustering

EASE OF USE: End-users and programmers can

perform complex data mining and business analytics

by using conventional SQL statements (SELECT and

EXECUTE stored procedures). � e functions can be

embedded in other functions and stored procedures,

and can be invoked using ODBC calls. � e simplicity

of use makes Netezza and DB Lytix™ very attractive

for end-users.

TIME-TO-ACTION: � e very paradigm of Netezza

and DB Lytix™ helps you gain e� ciency in analy-

sis, saves time and cost, and enables you to provide

answers to the decision makers in minutes. Just

imagine being able to perform pair-wise correlation

and Eigen Value decomposition of a 1000 x 1000

matrix in less than 3 minutes!

AFFORDABLE: On the Netezza plat-

form, you only need an enterprise license

for DB Lytix™ instead of seat licenses as

with other analytical software products.

Also, since DB Lytix™ is deployable through

simple SELECT statements, you do not need

additional software to leverage the full poten-

tial of the library.
