Learning about NPSaaS architecture and workload isolation

IBM® Netezza® Performance Server for IBM Cloud Pak® for Data as a Service uses a multi-tenant-in-a-cluster isolation model.

For Azure, the model uses a separate OpenShift namespace for each customer and each instance. For AWS, the model uses EKS (an AWS-managed Kubernetes platform) for each customer and each instance.

NPSaaS workload isolation

Customer data and compute storage are isolated from other instances. Each provisioned instance has a seperate set of worker nodes and separate Cloud Object Storage buckets for customer data. DR Backups are also stored in a customer-specific encrypted Cloud Object Storage bucket.
