Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), one of the United States' premier research and development institutions for science and technology applied to national security, used Netezza to search a massive semantic graph that helps determine relationships between objects by storing nodes (the object) and how they link to other objects (an edge). The graph consisted of 300 billion edges and eleven billion nodes, making it the largest known graph search to date. LLNL's computer scientists ran level-set expansion and bi-directional, breadth-first search against the data on a Netezza system, and over 90% of the searches were completed in less than five minutes. This provided evidence of Netezza's ability to scale for managing and analyzing the largest data sets. Learn more>>

Civilian Government Agency
A United States government civilian investigative organization has implemented Netezza as its analytical data mart to support field investigators in critical fraud detection and prevention applications which lead to several thousand arrests every year. This organization has also realized monthly savings of approximately $35,000 in reduced mainframe fees by switching to Netezza. Learn more>>

Government Defense Agency
In one federal government's defense agency, each DBA must obtain clearance to work with the data. It takes several months and costs approximately $100,000 to provide each DBA with the required clearance. Because of this, data warehouse simplicity and DBA productivity are tremendously important to the organization. Netezza is saving this federal agency millions of dollars and months of time with the breakthrough performance and unmatched ease of deployment and operation offered by the NPS data warehouse appliance.
