Teradata Extreme Performance Appliance lets you harness the power of Teradata technology to combine the speed of SSD storage components with enabling capabilities and feature of the Teradata Database. The result: you load and analyze data at speeds other current warehouse products simply cannot hope to reach. Now you can:
- Attract and retain more customers
- Respond to business-critical events when they are most valuable
- Deliver new services faster
- Reduce operational expenses
In addition to blazing speed, Teradata Extreme Performance Appliance aligns your data warehouse with the future of data storage: SSD technology. You’ll be ready to take full advantage of an optimal hybrid approach of both SSD and HDD technologies within the same data warehouse system. This hybrid approach will help you optimize costs by storing “hot” frequently used data on an SSD drive for fast access, while “cold” data can be stored on a lower-cost, large-capacity HDD drive. Teradata Virtual Storage Technology will automatically migrate data to the appropriate storage media based on its “temperature.”
As the industry leader in Enterprise Data Warehousing, Teradata offers you a single-vendor solution. Our architectural flexibility is designed to meet your needs - from enterprise integration with an active EDW to a departmental data mart. Teradata provides the system, installation, implementation services, and customer support services - all from a company with a reputation for delivering value.
Features & Benefits
Teradata Extreme Performance Appliance provides a full complement of features:
The phrase “so fast it’s a blur” has been used to describe the Teradata technology – based on the incorporation of Solid State Disks (SSDs) – that’s behind Teradata Extreme Performance Appliance, which offers you these unique benefits:
Hot Data Performance
The high transfer rate and low latency of the SSD drives make them a perfect medium for storing data that is used by active and other “hot” data workloads with stringent response time limits or fast table scan needs. The SSD drives are directly accessed by the Teradata node thereby eliminating the added delays of a disk array that other solutions require.
Data Scalability to 24 TB (soon to 96 TB)
As your data warehouse grows, Teradata’s Hyper-Analytics applications will typically focus on that high-value “hot” portion of the overall enterprise data for rapid analysis.
Fast and Consistent Query Response Times
This enables highly stringent Service Level Agreements (SLAs) to be met as required in truly operational workload environments, with average decision support query times of up to 18X faster and maximum query times reduced by 3X or more.
Up to 84% Reduction in Power Consumption
Compared to a Teradata Active EDW 5600 system of the same performance capability with nine Teradata nodes, this new system offers a dramatic reduction in storage cabinets needed to achieve full Teradata node performance.
Up to 93% Reduction in Data Center Floorspace
Due to the breakthorugh performance of the SSD far fewer of them are required to support the performance of the Teradata node, and as a result the Teradata Extreme Performance Appliance 4600 uses up to 20X fewer storage drives for your data warehouse with SSD devices (comparison to Teradata Active EDW 5600 system).
Improved System Reliability
Teradata Extreme Performance Appliance is purpose-built to run the Teradata Database with the availability you need to support your data warehousing initiatives.
