Netezza on Monday outlined an appliance designed to monitor data and predict emerging risks.

The appliance, dubbed Mantra Vault, analyzes transactional data across multiple databases. The general idea is that this monitoring will provide real-time risks to transactions flowing through a data center. Netezza’s umbrella term for this analysis is predictive risk analytics.

Last week, Netezza was acquired by IBM as Big Blue moved to bolster its analytics lineup.

According to Netezza, its Mantra Vault is designed to complement existing data activity monitoring (DAM) systems. The appliance is also capable of multi-year audit data retention, analytics and reporting. Mantra Vault also rides shotgun with its Mantra appliances.
