Important Changes to TwinFin and Skimmer Product Names in the Service Request Tool

News


Abstract

The product names for legacy NetezzaTwinFin/N1001 and Skimmer models are being changed in our Service Request tool to make them easier to find.

Content

What’s changing and why:

Due to recent changes in our Service Request process and appliance entitlements (for details see link) some of the Product Names have caused confusion for our customers and made it difficult to find your PureData System for Analytics N1001 and Netezza 100-1 appliances. We are implementing a change to bring the names of the older N1001/TwinFin and 100-1/Skimmer models back into conformity with the newer N1001/100 names.



The older TwinFin models which are configured with 6 blades will be designated as Legacy Hardware but will include Netezza TwinFin to assist in searching. The later version models with 7 blades, will not be changing names.

The naming convention will be as follows:

6 Blade Netezza TwinFin/N1001

These changes will take some time to update all of our systems but we are targeting on or before June 16, 2014 to have this complete. Once complete, you will need to update your list of Preferred Product list.

To update your list of Preferred Products:

Due to these name changes, your Preferred Products list in Service Request will be obsolete. Please delete all current products, perform a search for currently entitled products using the search term 'PureData System for Analytics' to view all C1000/N1001/N200x products. Add those products to your Preferred Products list. Use the search term 'Netezza' to add your Skimmer products to your Preferred Product list. Entitlements will not be changing for Mustang systems. You can use the search term 'NPS' to add those products to your Preferred Products list.

You can find more information about product selection here.
