Whether you are replacing an older system, adding capacity or upgrading your existing solution, Teradata ensures you are up and running without delay. Benefits include:
- Minimal disruption to data center operations
- Flexible scheduling to meet demanding timeframes
- Minimized risk of out-of-box failures with accurate and complete installation
Deployment/Redeployment
Teradata helps you meet your changing needs, whether you are deploying new platforms, relocating existing platforms in the face of rapid growth or entering a transitioning environment such as in the wake of a merger or acquisition. Benefits include:
- Project management and coordination of resources and required tasks
- Minimized disruption to your business during the transition process
- Minimized risk of potential or unforeseen problems
Environmental Assessment
Teradata partners with globally recognized experts to provide world-class analysis of your specific environment and environmental recommendations to ensure the most foundational component of availability is within Teradata specifications — and once your Teradata system is implemented, we will institute data center monitoring practices to ensure environmental conditions stay in specification. Environmental parameters include:
- Power conditioning to mitigate risk of unplanned outages due to power spikes, drop-outs or average voltage out of norm
- Power redundancy to mitigate risk of unplanned outages due to power disruptions
- Control of heat, cold and humidity to protect against damage to components
- Cleanliness to avoid abrasion, corrosion, overheating and early component failure
- Airflow to prevent heat build-up and ensure proper clearances
Since environmental factors are frequently highly localized, Teradata employs multiple sensors for consistency throughout the data center and continuous monitoring to identify environmental problems and reduce failures more quickly.
