The Netezza TwinFin Data Appliance is an integrated architecture that houses disk, memory, cpu in a single appliance and is a platform for high perfomance data warehousing and analytics. Internally the database is PostgreSQL and adheres to ISO standards. Can Lavastorm connect and acquire data directly from this appliance? Conversely, can Lavastorm write data to this appliance?

Good Day,
While I cannot say for certain; if this application is a SQL database, and LAE is provided with the drivers to do so, it may be possible.

I am not familiar with this system. MDA does not support individual database applications, nor do we provide the drivers necessary to access them. If the manufacturer (or some opensource group) produces drivers for an OS platform we support (Solaris, linux, etc..) then LAE may be able to use it.

They do support ODBC and JDBC drivers for this data appliance, so you should be able to use our software with it, once you have the proper drivers installed.

If you want to install the JDBC driver, for example, you would need to put the driver .jar files in your installation directory, under:
.../Installation directory/BRAIN/lib/java/ext (you might need to create the ext directory). Once you do that, you need to provide the driver url and class name, as given by the vendor to the JDBC nodes, such as the JDBC Query node. That should be it!
