Teradata Active Enterprise Data Warehouse and the Teradata Database offer a totally integrated solution optimized to provide the foundation for an enterprise data warehouse management and its operational expansion as an active data warehouse in the real-time enterprise. This powerful combination:
- Delivers real-time intelligence by enabling active data warehousing
- Puts vital information into the hands of front-line decision makers
- Extends traditional data warehouse functionality into the realm of tactical decision making
- Combines strategic and operational workloads into a single data warehouse
With the Active EDW platform Teradata introduces mixed storage with both Solid State Drive (SSD) and traditional Hard Disk Drive (HDD) technologies enabled by the Teradata Virtual Storage (TVS) feature. TVS optimizes the use of storage by automatically placing often used “hot” data on high speed SSD storage and less used “cold” data on traditional speed HDD. This delivers breakthrough levels of performance per capacity, higher query throughput and faster, more consistent query response times. The result: real business value by allowing more real-time users, faster response to events, and more real time active data warehouse applications.
Features & Benefits
Teradata Active Enterprise Data Warehouse is purpose built to run the Teradata Database with high efficiency and best performance to support your data warehousing initiatives.
High-performance Technology
With modular design and architecture, Teradata provides specific system functions that can be independently evolved without impact to the rest of your system.
Scalability
Teradata expands incrementally from one to over 4,096 nodes, accommodates user data space from four terabytes to almost 36 petabytes, and features massively parallel processing architecture.
Availability
Teradata contains redundant hardware components minimizing the impact of component or module failures. Also features Teradata’s unique clique architecture with automatic Node failover for optimum availability.
Manageability and Ease of Use
Monitors and controls the system, performs routine events, and protects the system from disruptive failure.
Flexible Configuration
Two models are available to meet the wide ranging needs of your data warehouse:
 |
Active EDW 6680 – leverages mixed storage and Teradata Virtual Storage to reach radically new levels of performance per capacity along with significant energy and floor space savings on a same performance basis. |
