Netezza systems, like humans, will experience a decline in performance as they age. Also like humans, this decline can be linked to underlying health issues which, if corrected, can result in much of the performance being restored. In this blog, read about the steps you can take to ensure your legacy Netezza system runs at peak performance well beyond the IBM end of support date.
