 "Teradata Delivers Database For Enterprise Intelligence")
Teradata Corporation, a company focused on data warehousing and enterprise analytics, has announced general availability of Teradata 13, which includes Teradata Database 13, Teradata Tools and Utilities 13, services and partnerships. Teradata 13 provides customers a foundation for a wide range of business analytics, which supports both departmental and enterprise intelligence for companies of all sizes.
Performance
As per company claims, Teradata 13 provides an overall improvement up to 30 percent for query processing, with some workloads running up to 20 times faster than on the previous database version. The Teradata 13 query optimiser has been improved allowing queries to run faster and consume fewer resources. The query optimiser interprets a query and determines the most efficient way for the database to process it providing business users with a rapid response to their queries. Database administrators and application developers don’t have to be involved, because these enhancements deploy automatically.
Teradata 13 now enables data to stream up to two times faster into the data warehouse. Simultaneously, tens-of-thousands of variables can be analysed directly in the database. The high-speed data loading and analysis do not interrupt or slow each other, providing agility for business users. The loading of data at high speed has been made possible by using specialised tables to support businesses that accumulate massive data volumes like retail and financial services.
Geospatial Data
Scott Gnau, head of development, Teradata Corporation, says, “Teradata customers will now be able to improve the processing of selected geospatial queries by as much as 20 times by integrating and analysing geospatial or location data along with customer and operational data in-database. Geospatial processing is the latest process that is executed in parallel inside the Teradata Database along with in-database OLAP (On-Line Analytical Processing) and in-database data mining with SAS. The integrated geospatial data will add a new data dimension for customers seeking to increase the intelligence of their enterprise.”
