Netezza is the most powerful data processing platform on the planet. Okay, so I'm a little biased because I've already experienced the adrenalin rush. What kind of transformation can we expect? Personal? Corporate? Hey, crack the pages and find out. Oh, but do strap in, because we're goin' for a ride!
What's inside: A deeper dive into the mechanics and pitfalls of migration, The advantages and disadvantages of in-the-box data processing, a review of some ETL tool positives and negatives, How-to's on set-based patterns like slowly-changing-dimensions, change-data-capture, exception handling, referential integrity and how to make it all metadata-driven and metadata-aware, parameterized shell-scripting examples, case-studies, vendor proof-of-concept tournaments and converting our Netezza storage machine into a data processing flow-based powerhouse.
Replete throughout is a consistent message of transformation, certainly for data but also for people, corporations, operations, our technology and technologists, all leading to an impact on the data warehousing industry as a whole. Large, established corporations are not only blinking, but changing course. Appliances are the future of data warehousing, and may well be the future for large scale data processing in total.
