IBM PureData System for Analytics N3001 or Netezza Mako Architecture is the next generation of the PureDataTM System for Analytics family of appliances that is powered by Netezza technology.
The Netezza Mako architecture integrates database, server (High available RH Linux Servers), storage (disks), and advanced analytic capabilities into a single, easy-to-manage system. The N3001 series servers includes hardware with an accelerated massively parallel-processing design that is specifically optimized for running complex analytics on large data volumes at very high speeds.
The Netezza Mako server includes the design that is specifically designed for running complex analytics on large volumes of data sets (petabytes of data) at high speed.
Netezza Mako Architecture
PureData System for Analytics N3001 appliances include a unique, asymmetric, massively parallel processing architecture that combines open IBM Blade servers and disk storage with IBM-patented data filtering that uses field programmable gate arrays (FPGA)
The IBM PureData System for Analytics N3001 series data warehouse appliances increases the storage capacity and performance of the Netezza TwinFin and Netezza striper models.
Within each rack are numerous components those work together to provide the asymmetric massively parallel processing of the Netezza architecture. The key hardware components include:
- Snippet blades (S-Blades)
- Hosts
- Storage arrays

Netezza N3001 (Mako) Offerings
Below are the some of the Netezza Mako offerings:
- Data encryption-at-rest functionality through the use of Self-Encrypting Drives (SEDs) to protect your data.
- New, rack mountable, gateway appliance model for small sized and medium sized business.
- New petabyte capacity 8-rack model for large business.
- A powerful platform for immediate insight from large volumes of data.
- Scalable, high performance of complex analytics and business intelligence (BI).
- Server includes flexible analytic environment that supports multiple languages (e.g, C/C++, JavaTM, and Python), and tools (e.g, R, and SAS).
- Simplified analytic development with ready-to-use parallelized analytics that does not require complex parallel programming.
- A library of more than 200 prebuilt, scalable, in-database analytic functions that execute analytics in parallel while taking away the complexity of parallel programming from developers, users, and database administrators.
- The new mako architecture includes a blade-based streaming architecture, which incorporates blades and storage, combined with patented Netezza technology of data filtering, by using field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) technology.
- Simplify your data warehouse and analytics infrastructure because the appliance is simple to deploy and manage
- Support for industry-standard interfaces (SQL, ODBC, JDBC, and OLE DB).
- Delivery of enterprise-class reliability and availability.
- Low power and cooling, all in a compact footprint.
