Teradata Analytical Platforms

"Teradata has rewritten the rules in the industry with the expansion of the Teradata platform family. Until now, at the low end of the data warehouse price range, you could only get a data warehouse appliance able to deal with a limited level of database and query complexity. Now you can get the Teradata query engine that has been supporting the largest and most complex data warehouses in production anywhere. So Teradata now offers the Teradata 5550 for active data warehouses and the Teradata 2500 for data warehouse appliances — with application and database portability between them. That's a great combination."

Richard Winter, President of WinterCorp

Now you can satisfy your end-to-end analytic needs with a single source, thanks to a new family of platforms from Teradata — all running with the proven power of the Teradata 12.0 database engine:

  • Teradata 550 SMP (symmetric multiprocessing) is a departmental data warehouse
  • Teradata 2500 is an entry-level data warehouse for companies just starting out or which have other analytical platform requirements in their enterprises
  • Teradata 5550 is an active data warehouse-class platform which provides up to twice the performance of legacy systems

Each of these new platforms offers you an unparalleled opportunity to lower your TCO and leverage your existing skill sets and resources. Each is designed to serve different data warehousing/BI paradigms — from entry to enterprise-level — and they all come with a valuable extra: Teradata Professional Support.

These new platforms can streamline your business and your budget by replacing legacy systems that require multiple hardware platforms and databases for special business unit, departmental or geographic requirements. They can also replace existing purpose-built analytical systems which serve compliance, privacy, fraud detection and prevention, customer segmentation, human resources and forecasting concerns.

Migration of data in existing data marts or appliances is now also faster and simpler because these new platforms are all supported by Teradata — especially if you plan to move data into your Teradata Enterprise Data Warehouse in the future.
