What is Teradata?
Teradata is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). Designed to run the worlds largest commercial databases.

Preferred solution for enterprise data warehousing Executes on UNIX MP-RAS and Windows 2000 operating systems Compliant with ANSI industry standards Runs on a single or multiple nodes Acts as a database server to client applications throughout the enterprise Uses parallelism to manage terabytes of data Capable of supporting many concurrent users from various client platforms (over a TCP/IP or IBM channel connection).

The need to process DSS, OLCP, and OLAP type requests across an enterprise and its data leads to the concept of a Data Warehouse.

What is a Data Warehouse?


A Data Warehouse is a central, enterprise-wide database that contains information extracted from Operational Data Stores (ODS).

Based on enterprise-wide model Can begin small but may grow large rapidly Populated by extraction/loading data from operational systems Responds to end-user what if queries Can store detailed as well as summary data

What is Active Data Warehousing?


Data Warehousing is the timely, integrated, logically consistent store of detailed data available for analytic business decision making.

Primarily batch feeds and updates Ad hoc queries to support strategic decisions that return in minutes and maybe
hours

Active Data Warehousing is the timely, integrated, logically consistent store of detailed data available for strategic, tactical driven business decisions.

Timely updates close to real time Short, tactical queries that return in seconds Event driven activity plus strategic queries
Business requirements for an ADW (Active Data Warehouse)?

Performance response within seconds Scalability support for large data volumes, mixed workloads, and concurrent
users Availability 7 x 24 x 365 Data Freshness Accurate, up to the minute, data

Teradatas Competitive Advantages


Unlimited, Proven Scalability amount of data and number of users; allows
for an enterprise wide model of the data.

Unlimited Parallelism parallel access, sorts, and aggregations.


Mature Optimizer handles complex queries, up to 64 joins per query, ad-hoc
processing.

Models the Business 3NF, robust view processing, & provides star schema
capabilities.

Provides a single version of the truth. Low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) ease of setup, maintenance, &
administration; no re-orgs, lowest disk to data ratio, and robust expansion utility (reconfig).

High Availability no single point of failure. Parallel Load and Unload utilities robust, parallel, and scalable load and
unload utilities such as FastLoad, MultiLoad, TPump, and FastExport.

Teradata Manageability
Things a Teradata DBA never has to do!

Reorganize data or index space

Pre-allocate table/index space, format partitions


Pre-prepare data for loading (convert, sort, split, etc.) Ensure that queries run in parallel Unload/reload data spaces due to expansion Design, implement and support partition schemes. Write or run programs to split the input source files into partitions for loading

A DBA knows that if the data doubles, the system can expand easily to accommodate it. The command and workload for creating a table that will have 100,000 rows is the same as creating a table that will have 1,000,000,000 rows!
