Netezza Partners with Safe Software for Spatial ETL

 

FME to Power Spatial Data Loading into Netezza Spatial

 

Safe Software announced that Netezza, a global data warehouse appliance company, is partnering with Safe Software for spatial ETL. Safe's proven FME® platform will be used to provide the spatial data loading capabilities for Netezza Spatial™, an extension to Netezza's leading data warehouse appliance. Known in the industry for its extensive format support and unmatched data transformation capabilities, FME will enable organizations that implement Netezza Spatial to efficiently load and transform large volumes of spatial data into this new data warehouse appliance.

 

For optimized strategic planning and location intelligence, organizations need real-time access to a comprehensive view of their spatial data assets. Yet, the challenges associated with integrating and transforming disparate spatial data into a unified environment can be daunting. When designing its new spatial extension, Netezza turned to Safe Software's FME to address these complex data interoperability challenges.

 

With FME, organizations can efficiently transform, validate and load large volumes of data from over 200 CAD, GIS and other formats into Netezza Spatial. Designed for scalability, FME offers powerful load balancing and batch processing capabilities to support the high throughput data transformation requirements of Netezza customers. It also tightly integrates with a wide range of popular ETL and GIS applications, including Informatica PowerCenter, IBM WebSphere DataStage, ESRI ArcGIS, MapInfo Professional and Intergraph GeoMedia, enabling organizations to take advantage of FME's powerful data integration and transformation capabilities from within a familiar environment.
