The Teradata system is a high-performance database system that
processes enormous quantities of detail data that are beyond the
capability of conventional systems.
The system is
specifically designed for large relational databases
From the beginning, the Teradata system was created to do one thing—
manage enormous amounts of data.
Hundreds of terabytes of storage capacity
are currently available,
making it an ideal solution for enterprise data warehouses or even smaller
data marts.
Parallel processing
distributes data across multiple processors uniformly.
The system is designed such that the component parts divide the work up
into approximately equal pieces. This keeps all the parts busy all the time
and enables the system to accommodate a larger number of users and/or
more data.
Open architecture
adapts readily to new technology. As higherperformance
industry standard computer chips and disk drives are made
available, they are easily incorporated into the architecture.
As the configuration grows,
performance increase is linear. There is no
performance drop-off until extremely large configurations are attempted.
The Teradata Database currently runs as a
database server on a varietyof UNIX and Windows 2000 hardware platforms.
