About Fuzzy Logix
Fuzzy Logix, LLC is a high-tech busi-
ness advisory company founded
by investment bankers. � e idea
behind the company was con-
ceived in 1995 and since then,
extensive research e� orts have
been undertaken to develop
the technical infrastructure
and mathematical algorithms
required for our solutions.
At Fuzzy Logix, our vision is
to use arti� cial intelligence
and sophisticated quantita-
tive techniques to solve
complex business problems
faced by businesses as
well as mankind. We aim
to deliver a rich suite of
advanced analytics and
predictive algorithms to
solve problems speci� c to
each company and indus-
try and provide them with
competitive advantage at
an a� ordable cost.

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!
About Netezza
With the invention of data warehouse
appliances, Netezza revolution-
ized and simpli� ed analytics for
companies drowning in data and
struggling to � nd the processing
speed and power to analyze and
understand what it all meant.
Today, Netezza is the data
warehouse appliance leader,
combining storage, process-
ing, database and analytics
into a single system that
delivers 10-100x the per-
formance, at half the cost
and one-third the power of
other approaches. � ink
of it as a Ferrari, with the
price and e� ciency of an
economy car.
With hundreds of custom-
ers including Amazon.
com, Nationwide, Neiman
Marcus, Orange UK,
Virgin Media and more,
and o� ces worldwide,
Netezza (NYSE Arca: NZ)
is a proven solution to the
rising costs and complex-
ity of data warehousing
and analytics. Our impres-
sive ecosystem of global
partners, including Fuzzy
Logix, is an expansive list and
means our customers can rest
assured that Netezza will live
comfortably within any existing
infrastructure they have in place.

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.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM DB LYTIX™ ON NETEZZA?
QUANTITATIVE ANALYSTS
If you are already building models, you have felt
the pain of transporting data from storage to the
analytical units and must have always wished that
things could be better. DB Lytix™ on Netezza is the
ideal solution for you. Our library can be used to
replicate your existing solutions and help build new
ones with dramatically improved performance.
In essence, if you want to compete on analytics,
Netezza and DB Lytix™ is the perfect combination
for you.
APPLICATION DEVELOPERS
