Powering the future of enterprise analytics

Our 2026 plans build on the momentum of the past few years with focused investments across cloud, on‑premises and hybrid deployments. We are planning to expand Netezza’s multi‑cloud coverage with BYOC support for Google Cloud Platform, giving customers another option to run Netezza within their own cloud environments.

On‑premises, the Barracuda appliance is planned to gain native object storage with tiered storage for lower‑cost retention, along with modular upgrades and in‑place node expansion to simplify scaling and maintenance.  In the cloud, NPSaaS and BYOC on AWS are planned to evolve toward a pure object‑storage architecture, designed to improve TCO and support larger‑scale analytics. These updates are expected to be complemented by enhanced disaster recovery, greater availability, and expanded scalability.

We also plan to broaden Netezza’s interoperability through integrations such as Iceberg REST catalog on Azure, Unity Catalog, and connectivity with AWS Glue and Azure Purview, making hybrid governance and metadata management more unified. Additional extensibility updates are planned to support unstructured text processing and custom ML models within the engine.

Across deployment models, we also plan to uplift the platform to RHEL 9 and extend SOC 2 Type 2 coverage, reinforcing our commitment to security and operational excellence.
