Teradata announces availability of Teradata Database 14.10

Sep 23, 2013 (MarketLine via COMTEX) -- Teradata Corporation, a provider of enterprise analytic technologies and services, has announced the availability of the Teradata Database 14.10 with advancements that exploit in-memory processing, drive in-database analytics, deliver access to Apache Hadoop and increase performance.


The combined power of the Teradata Database and support from leading best-of-breed partners offers organizations unmatched ability to outperform their competition. The spirit of innovation for which Teradata has been recognized is built into the Teradata Database 14.10.

"We are excited to announce the official release of Teradata Database 14.10, the most advanced analytic engine yet available with a number of industry firsts and enhancements to the database engine," said Scott Gnau, president, Teradata Labs.

Teradata's innovative and flexible analytic ecosystem enables organizations to respond to the most demanding and complex strategic business questions concurrently with real-time questions. These capabilities are supported by a broad range of partners.

According to Gnau, "Teradata Intelligent Memory provides in-memory done right." Teradata Intelligent Memory technology is built into the data warehouse and customers don't have to buy a separate appliance or software. Additionally, Teradata enables its customers to configure the exact amount of in-memory capability needed for critical workloads. It can be difficult, expensive, and impractical to keep all data in memory. Teradata's unique approach means the right amount of memory can be applied to the right set of data for blinding performance - automatically.

Teradata Intelligent Memory has the industry's first extended memory space beyond cache. It significantly increases query performance and enables organizations to leverage in-memory technologies with big, diverse data. Teradata is the first to offer business analysts streamlined, self-service, and cost-effective access to Apache Hadoop. Teradata's innovative Teradata Enterprise Access for Hadoop product makes it easier to integrate data stored in Hadoop into the enterprise data architectures, the company said.

For the first time, business analysts have point-and-click convenience offered by Teradata Studio with Smart Loader for Hadoop. They can easily browse and move data between Teradata and Hadoop for analysis and self-service business intelligence. Business users are now able to load, govern, access, and share data seamlessly in and out of Hadoop. This enables ad-hoc reporting and analysis in a secure and trusted Teradata data warehouse environment, the company added.

Teradata SQL-H offers direct on-the-fly access to data stored within Hadoop through standard ANSI SQL. This allows users to quickly query the data where it lies. Data from Hadoop can be combined, as needed, with production data in the Teradata data warehouse to expand and enrich insights. Users are able to leverage the security, workload management, and performance of the Teradata data warehouse.

Teradata is the first to offer next-generation R Analytics, which run in parallel and are scalable. Customers can integrate the R Analytic libraries into Teradata's flexible analytic ecosystem to achieve game-changing business results. In addition, Teradata now provides the largest, most complete analytic library of over a 1,000 new in-database analytics, enhanced access to native Extensible Markup Language (XML) data, streamlined temporal analytics, and capabilities that make geospatial data faster and easier to use, the company reported.

In addition, Teradata is the first to ensure speedy query performance with the new Incremental Planning feature. The feature executes a portion of a query, analyzes the partial results, and then executes the full query using the best route possible. Customers with complex, multi-step strategic queries will derive performance value from this feature. These features are in addition to major advances in automated statistics gathering that reduce administrative effort. The statistics-gathering feature ensures that the most critical statistics are collected, so the optimizer can generate the best query execution plans, without wasting system resources.

Teradata enables organizations to deploy, support, manage, and seamlessly access all data in an integrated and dynamic analytic environment. Teradata's integration of these technologies within the Teradata Unified Data Architecture creates value, which is more than the sum of the individual components.

According to the company, the capabilities of the Teradata Database have been significantly enhanced by Unified Data Architecture (UDA), which is a framework for organizations to analyze all types of data on multiple Teradata systems. The Teradata Unified Data Architecture leverages the complementary value of best-in-class technologies - Teradata Database, Teradata Aster Database, and Hortonworks.

Reflections from an Interop Veteran and Alum

When I returned to the Fiber Mountain™ offices in Connecticut after exhibiting at Interop Las Vegas 2015, I couldn’t help but think about how much the event has evolved through the years. I have been attending this seminal IT and networking conference since its inception in 1986 when it was called the TCP/IP Vendor Workshop, focused on interoperability of various TCP/IP program stacks.

What Fiber Mountain's Interop Recognition Means for Our Industry

When Fiber Mountain™ began its journey with a launch at Interop New York last fall, we certainly believed that we had a solution that would make a significant impact in the data center space.

What On-Board Optics Means for Density and Flexibility

This past week I read an article in Lightwave Magazine and another in Network World about the formation of the Consortium for On-board Optics (COBO), a group that seeks to create specifications and increase the faceplate density of data center switches and adapters.

Scaling Hyperscale in an Age of Exponential Growth and Virtualization

Over the past several years server, network, storage and application virtualization has revolutionized the way hyperscale data centers are built by consolidating workloads. The trend has simplified network architecture significantly and resulted in huge cost savings as well.
