Netezza Corporation (NYSE Arca: NZ), a provider of data warehouse appliances, announced on Monday (7 July) that CN, an operator of railways, is migrating and consolidating numerous data marts from its legacy environment to the Netezza Performance Server (NPS) data warehouse appliance.

This migration is expected to provide increased performance, user accessibility and scalability for strategic operational business intelligence (BI) applications to CN.

CN will leverage Netezza's appliance technology to run detailed analysis of traffic on its network of over 20,000 route miles across Canada and the US.

The first application CN has launched on Netezza runs detailed analyses on its railroad cars, capturing information on all events that take place with the equipment and identifying where traffic is located.

In addition, data load processes have also dramatically improved with CN's NPS implementation. Financial details were not available.
