eHarmony and Netezza get matched for business analytics

Netezza Corporation (NYSE Arca: NZ), the global leader in data warehouse and analytic appliances, today announced that eHarmony has deployed Netezza as its enterprise data warehouse to analyze large volumes of member data to better understand how its customers interact with its site. The Company chose Netezza for its scalability, low cost of ownership, proven track record with online businesses and fast time to value on key business intelligence (BI) initiatives.

eHarmony needed a data warehouse environment that could scale as its business and user base expand quickly, both domestically and internationally. Its previous system had trouble keeping pace with the Company’s rapidly growing volumes of data. With Netezza, eHarmony can extract and analyze user data much faster, more easily, and more economically than before.

“Sophisticated online organizations like eHarmony are increasingly leveraging terabyte-scale data analysis to maximize user engagement and create competitive advantage,” said Brad Terrell, vice president of digital media at Netezza. “By marrying user behavior and demographic data with additional outcomes, experience and third-party data, eHarmony gains a strategic advantage that will provide them with unprecedented web analytics flexibility and insight.”

The Netezza data warehouse appliance is built specifically to analyze terabytes of detailed data significantly faster than existing data warehouse options, at a much lower total cost of ownership. It stores, filters and processes terabytes of records within a single unit, analyzing only the relevant information for each query. Netezza has placed the CPU power next to the data, allowing its appliances to speed through processes that would occupy most data warehouse systems for hours, or even days, thereby enabling dramatic increases in productivity across organizations like eHarmony.

Netezza Corporation has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the Leaders’ quadrant in the 2008 Data Warehouse Database Management Systems Magic Quadrant report released on December 23, 2008 and authored by Donald Feinberg and Mark A. Beyer. Netezza was also awarded the Editor’s Choice Award by the InformationWeek Business Technology Network’s Intelligent Enterprise and one of Netezza’s customers, Ross Stores, was honored as part of the InfoWorld 100 for its joint data warehouse solution with Netezza and MicroStrategy.

Talend Secures $12 Million in Funding to Fuel Continued Worldwide Growth and Momentum

Talend, the first provider of open source data integration software, today announced it has secured $12 million in Series C financing to help fuel further worldwide growth and company expansion. The funding round is being led by Balderton Capital, an early investor in MySQL, and existing investor AGF Private Equity bringing Talend’s total funding to more than $20 million.

Balderton General Partner Bernard Liautaud, the founder, CEO and Chairman of Business Objects for 18 years up until its eventual sale to SAP for $6.7 billion, will join Talend’s board of directors.

During 2008, Talend moved from being a disruptive innovator to an open source data integration leader. The popularity of Talend Open Studio, the Company’s flagship open source data integration solution, has risen sharply since its introduction more than two years ago with more than 3.3 million lifetime downloads. In the past twelve months alone, Talend’s paying customer base increased by more than 300 percent, steadily taking market share away from proprietary data integration tools such as Informatica PowerCenter or IBM WebSphere DataStage, and confirming the suitability and scalability of its solutions for enterprise projects of large and well-known companies.

Leveraging the additional funding, Talend will expand global operations into key markets in the Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific, targeting large enterprises and partners that are looking at cost-effective alternatives to proprietary integration suites in a time of shrinking budgets and slimming services margins. The company will accelerate its growth, reinforcing its position as a key player in a market still dominated by a handful of proprietary vendors. Talend will also unveil new products in 2009 to help solve emerging integration requirements stemming from merger and acquisition activity as struggling companies are acquired.

“Over the past 12 months we have seen hundreds of new customers and dozens of new partners embrace our open source data integration and data quality technologies as the foundation for enterprise projects,” said Fabrice Bonan, COO and co-founder of Talend. “The open source model is a unique driver of innovation, enabling Talend to rely on a fast-expanding and vibrant community to accelerate its development cycles. The additional funding will allow us to expand our development teams, broaden the functional coverage of our technologies and provide more advanced products and features to our community and customers.”

Jaspersoft and Hyperic Provide First Systems Intelligence Platform for Business-Level Analysis

Jaspersoft, provider of the world’s most widely used business intelligence (BI) software, today announced that JasperServer Professional Edition is being embedded in the new Hyperic Operations IQ.

Hyperic Operations IQ, announced today, provides advanced business intelligence for IT and web operations teams using Jaspersoft’s BI software. This partnership, for the first time, provides a business user view into critical application performance metrics and service levels.

Jaspersoft and Hyperic, the leading provider of web application performance monitoring software for the datacenter and the cloud, have worked closely together since 2007 when Hyperic originally delivered integrated reporting capabilities in Hyperic HQ using the Community Edition of Jaspersoft’s JasperReports embeddable reporting product.

Today’s news represents the natural evolution of Jaspersoft’s strategic partnerships with the technology industry’s leading companies. The deeper functionality available in Jaspersoft’s Professional Edition enables companies like Hyperic to deliver yet another level of analysis to their customers.

“Hyperic’s advanced web application performance monitoring capabilities demand simple but powerful analysis functionality that can only be achieved with the customization and ease-of-use available in the professional version of our server-based, BI software,” said Brian Gentile, CEO of Jaspersoft. “Extending our partnership beyond our original collaboration – to a commercial relationship that provides Hyperic’s customers with access to the full suite of Jaspersoft’s BI software – will help meet the new demands of today’s besieged CIO.”

“Our choice to use Jaspersoft for Hyperic Operations IQ was an easy one. Jaspersoft’s BI software is used by millions of organizations worldwide. This is a proven technology with a loyal following that delivers the depth of visibility and analytics capabilities that our customers require,” said Javier Soltero, CEO of Hyperic.

Hyperic Operations IQ uses JasperServer Pro to provide customers with advanced reporting and analysis infrastructure instead of a limited handful of reports. The JasperServer Pro architecture allows Hyperic to customize and replace functionality as needed, and to create a new data source. These important features bring a new level of data integration and security to Hyperic’s solution. Furthermore, the new Systems Intelligence Platform brings customization and automation to business executives through easy-to-navigate dashboard integration and ad-hoc report creation using Web 2.0 tools available from Jaspersoft.
