Teradata Unleashes Breakthrough Analytics Speed

Newest platform offers breakthrough speed of analytics with latest memory, processor, and storage technologies optimized by Teradata software

Dubai, UAE - To help enterprises meet the ever growing demands for fast and effective analytics capabilities, Teradata (NYSE: TDC), the analytic data platforms, marketing applications and services company, recently  unveiled its most powerful and performant enterprise-class Teradata Active Enterprise Data Warehouse 6750 platform (Teradata Active EDW). The Teradata Active EDW is designed to help enterprises meet the most demanding real-time workloads, with thousands of applications, and the ability for virtually unlimited concurrent users to run queries against as much as 61 petabytes of data.

The announcements comes as organizations across the world continue to battle surging amounts of data that need to be effectively stored, managed and analyzed to drive business insights and competitive strategies without affecting application latency or availability.

“Teradata Active EDW automatically bundles memory, solid state drive (SSD)-based flash memory, and traditional disk storage so that our users get memory speed combined with depth of analysis. This creates a one-two punch, which knock outs the competition,” said Scott Gnau, President, Teradata Labs.

The Teradata Active EDW 6750 provides organizations with real and immediate benefits:

Accelerate Real-Time Questions – A single Teradata Active EDW cabinet can now accommodate eight times more main memory than the previous generation of two years ago. As a result, operational, business-critical, and real-time queries can be vastly accelerated with the increase of main memory space. Depending on workload, users can now ask almost up to five times as many business questions in the same time frame.

Consistent Query Performance – Teradata has added three times more flash memory in SSD than previous generations enabling business to make consistently fast decisions from even more data.
Overall Superior Performance – Achieving a 40% increase in data warehouse processing performance, the Teradata Active EDW platform supports a big boost in business query rates.
 
Unmatched Efficiency - Teradata has set the green, sustainability standard in data warehousing - with up to four times the improvement in energy and space utilization for the same performance system compared to systems from just three years ago.

Teradata Active Enterprise Data Warehouse is a key element of the Teradata® Unified Data Architecture™, which brings together Teradata, Teradata Aster, and Hadoop technology as well as best-of-breed partner tools. Teradata Active Enterprise Data Warehouse functions as the integration point and powerful engine that operationalizes analytics with the findings of the discovery and data platforms. The Teradata Active Enterprise Data Warehouse platform delivers real-time intelligence, placing vital data into the hands of the front-line decision makers, while extending the traditional data warehouse functionality to tactical decision making.
