Netezza begins India operations with Keysoft Solutions

Netezza, a data warehouse appliance company, has launched its Indian operation by forming a partnership with data warehousing and business intelligence specialists Keysoft Solutions. Together Netezza and Keysoft will focus on the banking and finance, telecommunications and government sectors in the Indian market.

Netezza's expansion into India follows the opening of offices in Sydney, Australia and Tokyo, Japan earlier this year. "Since opening our Asian operation early this year, our planned next step was to offer our products in the Indian market,” said Vinay Samuel, Sales Director of Netezza in the region. 

Keysoft has developed an excellent reputation with its customers and its partners in the business intelligence segment. Vinay added that the company is looking forward to working together to bring innovative and cost effective data warehousing solutions to Indian organizations.

According to Sanjay M Datta, GM Sales, Keysoft Solutions, "The Netezza partnership is of strategic value to us. We provide enterprise-class business intelligence solutions to our customers, and Netezza will enable us to also address their data warehouse needs. Moreover, apart from
Netezza, there are few choices with a competitive price performance ratio in the terabyte-plus data warehouse space. This implies a large potential for the Netezza data warehouse appliance in the Indian banking, insurance, finance and telecommunications segments."

The Netezza Performance Server system is the market-leading data Warehouse appliance, built specifically to analyze terabytes of detailed data 10 to 50 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, analyzing only the relevant information for each query.

Customers who have recognized the performance benefits of Netezza's approach include Hold USA,
Amazon.com, Catalina Marketing, Cingular Wireless and CNET Networks. Others are Epsilon, Neiman Marcus, Orange UK, Premier, Shoppers Drug Mart Corporation and The TJX Companies.
