IBM's lifecycle page for the final Netezza appliance generation (PureData System for Analytics N3001, 'Mako') shows end of support April 30, 2023 — with service extensions explicitly not available. TwinFin and Striper died years earlier on the five-years-from-end-of-marketing rule. The appliances are dead; the product continues as Netezza Performance Server on AWS/Azure and Cloud Pak for Data. The verified dates, what an unsupported appliance actually risks, the third-party maintenance bridge, and the two migration paths.
