Thread: Netezza: 27TB of PostgreSQL
Folks, Thought you'd find this interesting: http://www.netezza.com/news/media/META-Spectrum-Netezza.pdf ... so if anyone tells you that PostgreSQL doesn't scale, point them to that. Also, a quote from Information Week (the rest of the article isn't quoted because it contains a number of inaccuracies): "Netezza Corp. adopted PostgreSQL as the core of the database it developed in 2000-2001 to run inside its Netezza Performance Server 8000 data warehouse system. That allowed developers to focus on other tasks and shortened the startup's time-to-market by a year or more, says co-founder and CEO Jit Saxena." -- -Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

Their original product was BASED on PostgreSQL which does not necessarily mean that it IS PostgreSQL. In addition to that they seem to have changed a huge part of the storage system in order to reduce space consumption (recall, there is not that much need for concurrency in a warehouse).

Agreed. Netezza isn't PostgreSQL anymore. What Hans-Jurgen means: don't make too much of Netezza being a PostgreSQL implementation - it isn't ANYMORE. That information doesn't itself need to be treated carefully. Good reference for ISVs/embedded market though.... not much use for end user computing. Best Regards, Simon Riggs
