"When customers need to know, now, they will be able to rely on the Teradata Extreme Performance Appliance to deliver sub-second responses to complex queries every time they need them," said Scott Gnau, head of development at Teradata. "But more importantly, Teradata has combined the flash memory speed with the nearly limitless power of the Teradata Database for the hyper-analytic data warehouse. Businesses will be able to use the instantaneous intelligence to take a commanding lead over their competitors, and then leave them behind in a blur," he added. Teradata officials claim that "The Teradata Extreme Performance Appliance has been engineered to scan and aggregate millions of rows of data in sub-second time, perform deep analytics on select sets of data, and then provide a fast response to operational queries." The Extreme Performance Appliance is said to be 50% more energy efficient than data warehouses of the same capacity using hard drives, while requiring just 7% of the floor space of a data warehouse of equivalent performance. Capacities will range from 7TB to 200TB. The Appliance will run a 64-bit version of Novell's Suse Linux Enterprise Server. |
