Netezza Corporation, the global leader in data warehouse, analytic and monitoring appliances, and Composite Software, Inc., the data virtualization performance leader, today announced the Netezza Data Virtualizer to simplify, accelerate and optimize the integration of data stored across multiple Netezza appliances.
Powered by Composite Software, the Netezza Data Virtualizer creates an integrated view of data that is physically distributed across multiple Netezza appliances and delivers query results to reporting and analytic applications while Netezza appliances continue to manage their data.

The Netezza Data Virtualizer is licensed and supported by Netezza. The product is planned to be generally available early in the second half of calendar year 2010.
In addition, Netezza customers have the option of licensing a full-use version of Composite Information Server directly from Composite Software. The full-use license allows data access beyond Netezza appliances to other relational databases, to Web services and XML documents, and enterprise applications from Oracle, Salesforce.com, and SAP, including SAP BW and Oracle Essbase.
